Yeah I reckon all of them.
Billy Crystal was out here supposedly talking up the remake of "City Slickers".
He said it should have been called "Flogging a Dead Horse".

Ring 0
In the end it added nothing to the first 2 movies.

Ring-O aka Ring-U was actually the original Japanese version. The American movies were remakes.

"Piranha 2 - Flying Killers" should never have see the light of day. Actually that applies to the first one as well.
Perhaps Revenge of the Nerds 3 and 4 as well.

Breakthrough, the sequel to Cross Of Iron. CoI was a masterpiece in every way - casting, script, photography, score etc

Breakthrough has Richard Burton as Steiner, barely able to drag his drink-addled carcass from scene to scene. Robert Mitchum is in it, pre-face-lift, only Curt Jurgens makes an effort. There are no action scenes, the score consists of a few left-overs from The Eagle Has Landed and the script is dreadful.

One word - why?

The Bourne Identity was a first class mystery-action thriller, in the Hitchcock tradition. The Bourne Supremacy was OK, though the sentimentalist in me would have preferred Bourne and Marie to have a quiet happily ever after, renting scooters to tourists in the Greek Islands. But why did we need The Bourne Ultimatum? Now I learn that there's a fourth one in the pipeline somewhere.

I refuse to see any of the Pink Panther remakes.
There was only one Clouseau, and it was Peter Sellers.

I completely agree. I haven't seen any of the Steve martin versions, and have no plans to do so. Nothing against Martin, but Sellers made the role his own.

Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned Caddyshack II. Lord, what a stinker!

Any Highlander after the first one. They're pretty bad along with that spin off tv series!

Here's a tip for you budding Hollywood actors, if you're portraying a Scottish character, how's about using a good Scottish accent!??

(Mel Gibson take note too!)

But only do this if you actually can sustain a consistent and realistic accent over a whole film. Most film actors (unlike stage actors) have little or no training in this sort of technical skill. As a rule, they are not capable of a believable accent which is not their own. Sean Connery is always Scottish, even as the Lithuanian skipper of a Soviet submarine. Gwyneth Paltrow produced a very good genteel British upper class accent when she played Jane Austen's eponymous heroine in Emma and credit to her because it's no easy trick. But don't try it unless you're good enough to pull it off, as she was.
