Look around pal, NOBODY is laughing. I’ll give you and advice never mention that movie again, most of us have managed to forget it.
Back to the future II and III.
To go with Drunken Master II I nominate Armour of God Part II. The fights in that were sooo-ooo much asskickinger than the first.
I agree. The first movie was too much of the Addamses shut up in their own little world, without enough humorous contrast with “normal” people. I always like Joan Cusack too, and this may have been the best part she was ever given! It was great fun to see her play crazy/sexy/evil for a change.
Addams Family Values is also the only movie I can remember seeing that produced spontaneous applause in the theater. I’m not talking about applause at the end, I’ve heard that before. But during the summer camp sequence, when
Wednesday, Pugsly, and their misfit friends launched a rebellion in the middle of the Thanksgiving pageant
the whole theater started clapping and cheering! I’d guess such a reaction may be common at action movies when something Impressive or Cool happens, but it’s pretty rare in comedies.
I don’t even remember the first Addams Family movie, but I have a lot of lines from the second memorized.
(Plus the nerdy kid at camp was played by the same guy who stabbed Carter and Lucy on ER).
And I thought that A Very Brady Sequel was even funnier. The whole Greg/Marsha incest subplot. Heh.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the best of the series, at least so far.
The second Friday the 13th was pretty good. After that, the series degenerated into the typical slasher crap.
I guess Deep Throat II don’t count 
*Faraway, So Close! * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107209/
sequel to
*Wings of Desire * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093191/
The original was a highbrow, artsy-fartsy Work of Cinematic Art (Don’t get me wrong, I loved it. But you have to be in the mood for Great Art.)
The sequel had a plot, and even some action. I suspect the cineastes hated it, but to this uncultured Yank, it was better storytelling.
And then, of course, Hollywood had to go and make City of Angels. :mad:
- The Four Musketeers* was as good as The Three Musketeers (the Michael York/Raquel Welch one), although whether it qualifies as a sequel or just the second part of the movie depends on who you talk to.
These movies don’t get enough credit. They’re probably not as good as the original, but they’re still good movies. I’ve always thought that the sequels were a bit stretched, and they could have been cut a bit and combined into a great single movie.
I disagree, I thought Rocky 4 was terrible. It needed more patriotism.
The Chronicles of Riddick - I almost fell asleep watching Pitch Black, so I went to bed. I was pleasantly surprised by Riddick.
I liked El Mariachi more than Desperado. Desperado just felt flat to me. Once Upon A Time in Mexico, however, may turn out to be one of my all-time favorite films.
Call me sacrilegious, but Army of Darkness didn’t do it for me. I liked Evil Dead 2 a lot more. I’ve actually never seen the original Evil Dead. (I’ve heard that the first sequel more or less a remake. True?)
I didn’t like Back to the Future, Part II at all. I don’t know what it was - the direction or the script - but with all the trips back and forth in time, the film didn’t flow very smoothly, IMO. At least not for an enjoyable watch. I liked Part III though.
Some people consider the original Dawn of the Dead to be a better movie than Night of the Living Dead. :eek: I don’t know about that. NOTLD is, IMO, one of the best films of all time. However, I must admit that I’ve yet to see the original Dawn from beginning to end. And Day of the Dead is a very good film, if not as good as the first two.
The other branch of NOTLD sequels (Return of the Living Dead et al.) aren’t as highly rated, but they did tell us what part of the human body zombies really like to eat. 
What about The Color of Money?
Anyhoo…
