Indiana Jones 4.
I loved it as well. It went to hell with the slapstick ending, but until that point it had some amazing bits. The little doggie with paralyzed rear legs in a cart visiting “Doggie Heaven” was deeply moving. I’m not alone in my love for it, as Gene Siskel had it as his #1 film of 1998
Mike: Bambi, Bambi, my main man! So good to see you. You’re looking good. Albeit you’ve lost a little fur since I’ve last seen you, and you’re walking on two legs now I see…But still the same old Bambi!
Rick: Shut up, Neil, shut up! What’s the matter?
Neil: I’m sorry, everybody. I’m sorry, Bambi. I’m just remembering, like, that bit when you got lost in the snow, and the rabbit found you, it was so beautiful…
Vyvyan: Yeah, I liked the bit where you shoved the drill in the virgin otter’s face.
Neil: That wasn’t in “Bambi”, Vyvyan!
Vyvyan: It was in the sequel, Neil. “Bambi Goes Crazy Ape Bonkers with His Drill and Set”.
Neil: Is that true, Bambi? Did you do a Disney nasty?
Bambi: So what if I did? I’m not apologizing. My life collapsed after “Bambi”. I was a lovable faun alright, unusable for anything else. I took the Babycham stuff, sure, thanks to Mike here, but I was finished. When the porn “Bambi” came along, well, I thought, this is where I get something back…If it hadn’t been for the chance to present University Challenge and start a new life, I’d be giving executive relief to woodland creatures to this very day.
Throwin’ flag on Matrix(1999,2003,2003) and Pirates of the Caribbean(2003,2006,2007) sequels. Those were made within a reasonable time frame.
Bachelor Party (1984) - Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation (2008)
Tom Hanks > Harland Williams
“The Parent Trap” - the Hayley Mills version, not the horrid re-make with what’sherface before she was a crack ho. A good movie.
“Parent Trap II” - Hayley Mills 25 years later. Keeps the basic premise (twins trade places) while losing everything that made the first one good - the humor, the elegance, the expertly deployed feminine wiles, Catherine O’Hara.
Halloween III. WTF?
Caddyshack II. Double WTF?
I haven’t seen The Jerk 2 (Too?), but it can’t possibly hold a candle to the original.
Still waiting for Doctor Detroit II: The Wrath of Mom.
Fuck me! I had to look that one up on IMDB to be sure you weren’t just kidding. That’s unbelievable.
That is my opinion as well. I watched two of the sequels with a 12 year old and they LOVED them. There was also the fact that big Sci-Fi SFX heavy movies weren’t two a penny back them so it was a much smaller market for them to compete in.
The sequels, especially the 2nd and 3rd had their moments even for this 38 year old.
There was and is a lot of this going on. 
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Cartoon with a happy ending”.
29 replies and no one mentions the abomination that was Godfather III?
Not exactly a sequel but when I learned that they were bringing the four lead actors of A Fish Called Wanda, one of my all-time favorite comedies, back for another go-round—not in sequel form but a completely different movie, different characters, etc. I couldn’t wait.
Was at the theater the day it opened and didn’t want to know anything about the film so I didn’t read any reviews and have to say that Fierce Creatures represents my most thoroughly disappointing movie experience.
An absolute wretched piece of crap that fortunately doesn’t diminish the brilliance of Wanda. But still, yeesh.
Ghostbusters II. Feel good goo, dancing Statue of Liberty, the kid factor, Bobby Brown, and a friendly Slimer. Not exactly a recipe for success.
And sadly, those bastards have not learned their lesson – they are now making a Ghostbusters 3. It will probably be directed by McG and feature CGI actors and real ghosts.
They’re not too bad, if you don’t have high expectations. A bit better than the cheapo TV series they made of Aladdin (and Tarzan, etc), and sometimes genuinely hilarious.
This is actually quite sweet, they tried really hard with this one. It was, however, ultimately unnecessary, and is an interquel, so doesn’t have much of an ending. Plus they should’ve kept the original title, which was “Bambi: Prince Of The Forest”.
Someone got whooshed, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t DrDeth.
Does anyone remember The Sting II (1983), starring Jackie Gleason and . . . Mac Davis? No, I thought not.
The Howling had numerous sequels, but only the first really was a sequel (the others were completely unrelated) – and it sucked, despite the presence of Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning’s special effects. The only part worth watching were the credits (except when they run them on TV)
Highlander: The Source came out last year and once again I must say:
They should have made only one.
Rosemary’s Baby and Son of Rosemary.
The first was an excellently written masterpiece, the second was poorly written drivel.
Oh good, I’m not the only one who didn’t like it. I finally saw it (from Netflix) last weekend. I want to watch the other 3 just to see if maybe it’s just that my taste has changed and the other movies were just as bad.
