Battlefield Earth’s sequel is going into production soon. Look it up on Coming Attractions and you can see.
IT’s pretty difficult for any action movie to have a sequel. You have to stretch nearly as far as a soap opera. Only movies such as James Bond and Mission Impossible can have sequels that make sense; they are based on seperate cases for each rather than one story that is stretched to the next one.
Speed 2 pretty much sucked a@@ and in my opinion is the worst attempt at a sequel.
and for those of you who don’t know how to get to Coming Attractions:

One of the best sources for upcoming movies, and it’s based in Canada? Ahhh… the internet
As for my submissions… Star Trek 3,5,7,9…
Feh. You kids forgot the most godawful sequal of all time. The one that is actually denied by the most devout fans of the original.
Are you sitting comfortably?
HIGHLANDER II - THE QUICKENING
There ya go, I win.
I always wondered, was there a Fiday The 13th Part 13?
sunbear,
If not already, rest assured there will be.

You call yourselves bad sequel afficionados? Piffle, I say!
Recently at Hastings I was strolling through the new DVD releases when I noticed a box for Mimic 2. I picked up the box in fear, then quickly put it back again. And yet, I realized, this surely will be a horrible movie, perhaps horrible enough to laugh at.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Remember the one or two things about Mimic that made you go, “Huh. That’s kinda cool.”? Well, there’s none of that in the sequel. Bad bad bad.
They made a “Species 2” as well…
The Hunchback of Notre Dame II
the preview for it is on the Emperor’s New Groove tape; I don’t know if it’s out yet.
Hunchback was actually pretty decent if you fast-forward through Jason Alexander’s song. But it didn’t do so well; it’s not the sort of thing you can really exploit. And the plot of Hunchback II is this: Jennifer Love Hewitt falls in love with Quasimodo.
there are some other bizarre sequels out there – not just Hunchback (anyone heard of Cruel Intentions 2?) – but this one takes the cake.
Hello!! Toy Story 2!!!
Okay, so it was collaboration with Pixar and not soley the product of Disney, but c’mon… That movie rocked.
I think that the Leprechaun movies should definitely not have made it up to part four: Leprechaun In Da Hood. I kid you not; it stars Ice-T.
I think after a horror series has done the “in space” movie, it should be laid to rest.
Speaking of which, they’re currently making the next Friday the 13th. Guess where it takes place…yep; in space. Scientists have taken Jason’s DNA and are making a clone to make a race of super-warriors. sigh lowers & shakes head
Smokey and the Bandit 2
Smokey and the Bandit 3
Mannequin 2
Alien 3
Alien 4
Splash 2 (made for TV)
Son of Kong (made in 1933 just nine months after the original; where was his mother?)
King Kong Lives (sequel to the 1976 remake)
On a different vein, a good movie:
Psycho
I can’t believe anyone would make a sequel to one of the all-time classics. How do you follow that act, except to spoil it?
And on a similar note, what was the point of doing a scene-for-scene remake of the original Psycho? What the hell were they thinking?
Okay I admit this is the first one that sprang to my mind and I was going to suggest it until I remembered that true fans deny its very existence.
There can be only one.
Ftr IMO the worst movie ever made was Weekend at Bernies II.
<<<Quote by Pammipoo - "I’m pretty certain there’s not a sequel to a single disney movie that doesn’t suck. The originals were awesome, the second time around, it was pathetic. Some people just don’t learn.>>>
But there was The Rescuers Down Under. Classic Disney animation.
I avoid sequels, but admit to being intrigued by “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
Unless of course you count Ralph and Betty Hapschatt.
Air Bud 2: Golden Reciever!
But I’ve got Universal Soldier II.
I should get some sort of recognition for watching that steaming pile of horse crap (Best part: Watching WCW wrestler Goldberg die…which finally SHUTS HIM UP).

Highlander II? Huh?
No, no, I’m sorry, you must be mistaken. There was never a Highlander II. How could there have been? I mean, for goodness’ sake, the movie’s sig-line was “There can be only one”, after all.
Why on earth would they have made a sequel? Nobody loves money that much, surely…
(twitches a little)
I don’t understand what the movie could even have contained, I mean, what, some dumbass plot about how the immortals were all from outer space, totally destroying half the mystical logic of the first movie, plus Ramirez’ line about “Are the stars only pinholes in the blanket of night”…
(twitches a lot)
In fact you’d have to be fundamentally insane to even think of such a concept, in fact anyone who does should be killed, surely… that’s what would happen to them if it was made, of course, but it NEVER WAS.
IT DID NOT HAPPEN.
