Found a clip online of Mila Kunis’ narration in American Psycho 2. I agree it’s not well done, but it seems to me that they wanted the more girly way of talking as a juxtaposition. It’s being played up as a comedy.
The 1984 film Children of the Corn has numerous sequels:
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice
Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest
Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering
Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror
Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return
Children of the Corn: Revelation
Children of the Corn: Genesis
Not exactly that well known but Invasion U.S.A. the 1985 movie which is basically Red Dawn if Chuck Norris was there to stop it, had an obscure sequel in 1986 called Avenging Force which had literally nothing to do with the first film besides the fact both main characters are former Secret Service agents named Matt Hunter. Apparently the film was suppose to be a direct sequel but when Chuck Norris dropped out and Michael Dudikoff stepped in to fill the role they dropped the connection. However despite that they still gave the main characters the exact same names and backstories so it basically is still a sequel just recasted.
The second Mummy movie, called The Mummy Returns, had a spinoff starring Dwayne Johnson, The Scorpion King (2002), which is widely known. But that movie has four further sequels:
The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (2008)
The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (2012)
The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power (2015)
Scorpion King: Book of Souls (2018)
I watched number 2. It was horrible.
(I still wish they had made a bunch of Ardeth Bay and the Medjai movies instead)
I Still know what you did last summer was released in 1998, one year after 1997’s I know what you did last summer. Which is not a terribly great entry to this thread (it even had all the stars return!). BUT, did you know about 2006’s direct to DVD I’ll always know what you did last summer??
I thought I had the obvious choice but maybe everyone forgot it.
Mister Roberts 1955. Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon, James Cagney. Directed by John Ford. Great movie, one of my favorites. An all time classic.
Ensign Pulver 1969. Robert Walker Jr, Burl Ives, Walter Matthau. Not a great movie. Largely forgotten.
Joshua Logan wrote both (and co-wrote the play) and directed the second but the magic was gone.
Nitpick: ***Pulver ***came out in the summer of 1964. I remember seeing it in Chicago with my dad, while my brother saw ***Marnie *** at another theater.
May not have been as good as the original, but it was far from being a bad film.
My favorite cult movie, Ritual Disembowelment, had numerous inferior sequels:
*Ritual Disembowelment II: Evisceration Day
Ritual Disembowelment III: Welcome to the Abattoir
Ritual Disembowelment IV: Butcher’s Holiday
Ritual Disembowelment V: The Gutting Continues
*
At one point, a sixth movie was announced (tentatively titled Ritual Disembowelment VI: Human Haggis), but the project was ultimately scrapped. And then just last year the rights to the series were sold to an Asian production company, and apparently Ritual Disembowelment Japan: The Art of Seppuku is in the works.
The 1986 sci-fi/fantasy classic Highlander has had five sequels, including one that was animated. They aren’t well known, except for being terrible.(I’ve heard that the animated one isn’t too bad.)
For a second, I thought you were referring to this movie, with **two **(count 'em, two!) Lois Lanes. :o
Even with them (**and **Tom Kennedy), it was a real stinker. ![]()
Dr. Goldfoot and His Bikini Machine was followed the next year by Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs. An Italian company financed it, it was shot in Italy, and starred two Italian comics. So two versions were released, one in English built around Dr. Goldfoot (Vincent Price) and the other in Italian built around the two comics. The English version bombed but I’ve never been able to find out how well the Italian one did.
The whole incredible story is told here, complete with the Shindig special about the original movie.
Yes 64. The thread is about obscure not bad but I disagree, it’s not a good movie. It didn’t balance Comedy and tragedy like the first. It had no great performances and the original had 4. Burl Ives was painfully miscast. It might not have been horrible but it was forgettable.
There was also a tv show that lasted one season that I have not seen one minute of.
More than 50 posts in and I’m the first to mention Phantasm? 
Don Coscarelli dropped the original on us in 1979, giving us an iconic villain in The Tall Man, a bunch of weird creepy dwarf zombies and the franchise-defining imagery of the lethal flying silver orbs.
Universal Studios gave him 3 million bucks to make a sequel which he finally produced in 1988.
Universal Studios went home with their money but Coscarelli dropped the 3rd installment, Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead in 1994, 15 freaking years after the original.
Four years later, in 1998, came Phantasm IV: Oblivion.
Every movie had been written, directed and produced by Coscarelli.
Then, after an 18 year gap, and 37 years after the original film was released, Coscarelli released Phantasm V: Ravager (for the first time he shared writing credits and gave up directing duties entirely).
Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
She was also Samara in The Ring!
For sure, it couldn’t compete against the likes of Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon, William Powell, and Jimmy Cagney, but I enjoyed it then and have since. Interestingly, it was both directed and co-written by Joshua Logan.
According to Wiki, it came out in November 1964, so I must have seen over Thanksgiving or Christmas (or maybe even the following year).
I remember the Mr Roberts TV series with Roger Smith (1965–66), but no Ensign Pulver series.
Many people don’t know that there have been several sequels and spin-off movies to Star Wars, none as good as the original.
Although give all of the manipulations and changes in directoral vision, only on sequel can be considered a canonical representation of the original intent. I speak of none other than The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby - a TV movie. It was NOT based on Ira Levin’s own sequel to his novel, nor was Mia Farrow involved.
For me, Daveigh Chase will always and forever be Roman Grant’s child-wife Rhonda.
