So as I traveled the web I ran into something that caught my attention. The 25 worst movie sequels ever made, as picked by Moviefone. Now there is no question that there are many films that qualify for this selection. But the worst?
Moviefone starts their list with Bad Boys II at #25. While I agree this was a useless film, and that it was a big letdown, I still think it was better than say The Grudge 2 (or the original remake of the Japanese film for that matter). The list goes on to include Caddyshack 2 (one of the oldest films on the list – obviously they are targeting films people younger than me are familiar with), Star Wars Episode 1 – As they correctly state “Three words: Jar Jar Binks,†Jaws 3-D, Legally Blonde 2, Be Cool, Son of the Mask, Superman IV, Speed 2, Blues Brothers 2000, Dumb and Dumberer, and Basic Instinct 2.
While many films on the list fit, I disagree with The Matrix Revolutions which was a let down but did make some sense, they left out a few classic flops. The Fly 2 (either version – yes it was a sequel of a remake too), The Poseidon Adventure 2, The Prophecy 3, It Lives 2, Beware! The Blob, Cruel Intentions 2, and several other films of a stature so low our collective minds have probably blocked their memory from our minds.
But for those with total recall of such films I have to ask, what is the definitive list of horrible sequels? What is seriously horrendous. Double bonus if the film is a remake of a sequel.
Are you up to the task?
