KD in CA Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Depending on how you look at it, the Rocky movies were a pretty stunning fall; from an Oscar winner to whatever the !@#$ Rocky V was supposed to be (and beyond -- they might still be making them for all I know but V was the last one I saw). Of course, Sly was smart enough to make each one just a step worse than the one before so the decline was gradual enough that you kept getting sucked into the next one. For sheer movie to move drop off, I don't think it's possilbe to exceed Caddyshack vs. Caddyshack 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 What do people think of the two Harrison Ford Jack Ryan movies? I always like them, but I wonder if people would want to include them on a failed sequel list or not. Either way, the Ben Affleck one would definitely go on my list. The "Clear And Present Danger" one sucked. It could have been much better with a different writer making the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Of all the people who mentioned Slap Shot 2, have any of you actually seen it? There are some movies you just know not to ever waste your time with. Yes, I saw it. How else would I include it amongst the worst sequels of all time had I not? For a time, it was packaged with the original at no extra cost. I bought the set as a gift for my dad, and one day popper it in out of curiosity. My expectations were low, just hoping for a cheap laugh or two, some slapstick, maybe even gross out humor. Perhaps even a fleeting glance at breasts. It failed to meet even the lowest of expectations. Slapshot 2 makes Schindler's List look like Animal House. Way funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Some off the top of my head... Son of the Mask Airplane II Speed 2: Cruise Control Batman and Robin I like "Airplane II", yes it's not as good as the first, but nearly the entire cast of the original is in it, and the scenes with William Shatner are hilarious.

ajzepp Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 The Matrix 2 and 3. A-fuggin-men, brother...those movies don't even exist to me. I consider them the worst sequels given how far they fell relative to the original matrix film, which was absolute perfect sci-fi, IMO. I've seen the original probably 20 times and it still holds up to repeat viewings. One of my favorite films of all time. The sequels were cash grabs that became absolutely ABSURD by the time they were done screwing with the story. If the original wasn't such a stellar film, I wouldn't be this biased against the sequels, but I really thought they took a great thing and completely ruined it.

DC Tom Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I like "Airplane II", yes it's not as good as the first, but nearly the entire cast of the original is in it, and the scenes with William Shatner are hilarious. The whole movie was worth it just for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 There was a sucky Die Hard before the last one. The last one was, I thought, terrific. Magnificent 7 and Dirty Dozen had crummy sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 No one mentioned Oceans 12 yet? How could no one mention Oceans 12? That one was atrocious. Turns out the plot was totally irrelevant and just a setup for the shockingly asinine twist, then actors start impersonating themselves, and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, MMMAAAAAATTTTTT DAAAAAAMONNNNNN!!

shrader Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 No one mentioned Oceans 12 yet? How could no one mention Oceans 12? Your mentioning of US Marshals a few days back almost made me mention it. Releasing sequels of remakes (or movie versions of TV shows) just seems strange to me. And yes, that movie was awful. I hate that I paid money to see all those actors just sit back and have fun.

Mark Vader Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) The whole movie was worth it just for this. Great stuff. That's why I can not put this movie on a list of worst sequels. Edited May 17, 2013 by Mark Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the whole movie was irrelevant. Pitt and Clooney admitted that they made that movie only so the cast of 11 could spend a summer hanging out drinking at Clooney's Italian villa. Apparently, only Catherine Zeta-Jones was the only who thought they were making a real movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Predator 2- what was with that? Nope, can't list that either. It's covered by the Bill Paxton rule: no movie is truly bad where Bill Paxton dies. Seriously...if you had a "Bill Paxton Death Film Festival," it'd be a pretty awesome list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 There was a sucky Die Hard before the last one. The last one was, I thought, terrific. Magnificent 7 and Dirty Dozen had crummy sequels. The Die Hard series is a mixed bag of awesomness/suckitude IMO... 1988 - Die Hard - Awesome 1990 - Die Hard 2 - Sucked 1995 - Die Hard With a Vengance - Awesome 2007 - Live Free or Die Hard - Meh...it was okay. 2013 - A Good Day to Die Hard - Haven't seen it yet, but heard it was pretty bad. I will wait to form my own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
