Sequels that had no business being made
For every classic franchise, (Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Godfather,) there are countless films that spawned sequels that not only sucked but ruined the legacy of the original Movie. Here's some of mine:
The Sting II: Jackie Gleason rules but no Newman or Redford? What's the point? Slap Shot 2 and 3: WHY? Book of Shadows: Blair Witch II: The original was horribly made but it was scary as hell and original. This sequel was a rushjob slasher movie with the Blair Witch name on it. Possibly the worst studio movie ever made this side of Gigli. Odd Couple II: Lemmon and Mathau may have been one of the greatest comedy pairings of all time but this movie was pointless. (Especially since they were already making Grumpy Old Men movies at the same time that were funnier.) Anyone else wanna take a stab at this one? |

Rambo 2, 3, 4.......
First one wasn't great, but at least it was based on a book and had a message about the aftermath of war on the combatents. I remember an interview with the author. At one point he was talking about the negotiations over the rights to the book. His laywer told him to makes sure that he got the rights to any sequels. He said to his lawyer, don't be silly, the hero dies at the end so there can't be any sequels. Anything is possible in Hollywood. |

Terminator 3
Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and the Halloween franchises. Way too many sequels. Totally killing the original concepts and ideas. Under Siege 2. Come on, the first was bad enough. Crocodile Dundee 2 and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. Dreadful, had the potential to ruin a very funny and original first film. Scream 3. Stupid and insulting. Final Destination 2 & 3. Hostel 2, Mind numbingly dull. Bunch of idiots sat around a table devising new ways of portraying murder and death to the cinema going audience. Total crap. Jurassic Park 2 & 3. Some sequels that i think lived up to the first. Terminator 2 The Dark Night Toy Story 2 Mad Max 2 |

Jaws
The one with Michael Caine (Jaws 3D, maybe) contained the worst special effect in a Hollywood movie near the end the shark is in a tank with a window, it swims towards the window, makes contact with it and stops before it breaks through the glass. Just looked so cheap.

Sly also changed the name and tone of the entire franchise after the original First Blood. (Which is Stalone's best movie IMO.)

How about Blues Brothers 2000? An object lesson in how to make a dire sequel that no-one wanted in the first place. John Belushi must have been doing cartwheels in his grave...

It's quicker to list sequels that should have been made.
