Jackey Neyman Jones made a sequel to a movie she originally starred in as a little girl. She played “Debbie”. In “Manos: The Hands Of Fate”. Not since “Birdemic 2” has a nation cried out in unison “For God’s sake, \*WHY??” [Manos Returns](https://www.manosreturns.com/) Talk about this one, or bring up other unnecessary and unwanted movie sequel news. ---

By the way, please try to limit the “Highlander 2” obligatory references if you can. 😁 ---

To be fair to your thread, I can only think of bad sequels that people DID want, until they saw them, or sequels nobody asked for that, despite that, weren’t that bad. ---

**U.S. Marshals** (1998). The Fugitive was a fine, Oscar Nominated (and winning for Tommy Lee Jones) film that did not need a sequel which was essentially a re-tread of the original. `//i\\` ---

The Fugitive was a fine, Oscar Nominated (and winning for Tommy Lee Jones) film that did not need a sequel which was essentially a re-tread of the original. Oh my yes. I forgot that one. Not that it was a bad movie in and of itself, it was just unnecessary. A crummy rerun. What they should have done in the second was have the team chase someone that was actually guilty. You know, like they normally would do. Ge top see what they can do against a ruthless killer, and not a good guy done bad. Why make another “wrongfully accused/framed suspect” film? Why is that better? FBI Most Wanted managed to make a couple seasons of mostly interesting episodes on that very subject. Getting into the mind of the fugitive can be interesting. ---

The keep trying to remake **The Crow**. I guess those aren’t technically sequels, but they really should learn the lesson that it be best left abandoned. ---
