yeah EVIL DEAD 2 definitely crossed my mind...  I think I find it just a bit too crazy, to the point where it detracts from my enjoyment of it (ditto GREMLINS 2)

SILENCE OF THE LAMBS


was not aware this was a sequel, what's the original. MANHUNTER? I thought that was just a different interpretation of the same novel, but I don't really know. I only saw SOTL for the first time last year! definitely better than I expected. I was ready to be totally underwhelmed by it for some reason

I see it as a sequel because Lambs repeats many of the same characters as Manhunter and Will Graham is referred to in Lambs the book several times.

^ MANIAC COP 2 was much better than the first one, IMHO. It was where the crazy cop teamed up with a Manson type guy and broke into a prison to set all the convicts free.

just snagged a copy, not too pricey... forgot it was robert zdar (rip)... legend for SAMURAI COP alone!

oh yeah and I remember the 3rd one being dull as dishwater

Fun bad sequels? HIGHLANDER 2, EXORCIST: THE HERETIC come to mind.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

zombie no.one

some of sean connery's lines in HIGHLANDER 2, just... yikes

oh damn... no mention of TROLL 2 yet, somehow?! it wouldn't quite make my top 10, not due to lack of entertainment factor, just I've never had the urge to rewatch it
please do not mock my potato.

Never been able to think of Troll 2 as an actual sequel despite its name. Then again, I also expected Troll to be rereleased during the whole Harry Potter craze to try and cash in on that in some way.
Your kisses turn princes into frogs and passion plays into monologues.

zombie no.one

you're right it's not a proper sequel is it... there's another unrelated  film whose name escapes me which is  apparently dubbed  'TROLL 3'

yeah the harry potter thing. bizarre coincidence. almost surprised there wasn't some kind of desperate money-grabbing lawsuit attempt
please do not mock my potato.

in no real order, and using "sequel" as the 2nd movie in a franchise and not something beyond that in a film franchise/ cinematic universe

The Dark Knight (2008)
The Godfather Part 2 (1974)
Aliens (1986)
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Superman 2 - The Donner Cut (2006)
Kill Bill Volume 2 (2005)
Police Story 2 (1988)
From Russia with Love (1963)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Three Colors: White (1994)

Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

FUTUREWORLD gets a bad rep... I enjoy it

SLEEPAWAY CAMP 2 (and 3), real departure from the first. very tongue in cheek, but not quite to the point of being an obvious parody


any love for PSYCHO 2 here? I quite enjoyed it but nothing can touch the original
