Two I can think of off the top of my head are:
Jewel of the Nile
Ghostbusters 2
Now all I've seen from Howling II was the clip shown here on Badmovies.org.
I know this is unfair but from that clip alone and from practically everyone saying it was bad, it looks to me like a bad sequel to great werewolf movie.
On the fair side I don't think Howling III was a good sequel either.
Highlander 2: The Sickening
All of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels (with the possible exception of TCM3), and the *bleeping* remake.
"The Last Don" was a great miniseries, but the straight-to-DVD sequel was absolutely unwatchable.
Jaws II
All the Star Wars movies after Star Wars (I know I'll get flamed for this...ESB is the pop favorite, but not mine), including "prequels"
They are not really sequels, perhaps, but I don't think Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger or Sum of All Fears ever captured the essence of The Hunt for Red October
US Marshalls (or whatever the name of the 'sequel' to The Fugitive was)
starship troopers 2
I liked the first one, but 2 just blew chunks.

I've heard that Russell Mulchahy's 'Renegade Version' of 'Highlander 2' is an absolutely radically different cut than the theatrical release. Has anyone seen it? Personally, I don't like the 'Highlander' movies because I think Christopher Lambert sucks big time.
Ya know, this reminds me of a story...
I had seen the original Highlander in the theaters and wasn't very impressed. Well, a few years later my friends and I were sitting in a theater waiting for some movie to start and of course we were being assaulted with the coming attractions. They showed the trailer for Highlander 2 and I yelled out "Like the first one was any good." and do you know, it felt like I had hundreds of eyes on me as people turned to stare? I think I struck a nerve on some fanboys that day.
Consider me a fanboy of the original Highlander. I don't care how many people hate it, but I absolutely love it. I don't know if it's the pure cheese of the film itself or the extremely cheesy soundtrack from Queen....it's just a film that I enjoy. The third one wasn't too bad either.
And now, as I watch Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter, I can't stop myself from thinking about Mr Krabs being the same person as The Kurgan from Highlander.
It might be shorter to list the good sequels to good movies.
Godfather Part II.

I would be too if Lambert wasn't in the movies, because I love the TV show! (Lambert only made say 2 appearances on the show.)
CONAN THE BARBARIAN is a great movie, but CONAN THE DESTOYER was a bummer only because I was expecting something close to CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Parts of CONAN THE DESTROYER were ok, but nothing like the original.

I really liked Hills Have Eyes but one time I was "lucky" enough to see it's sequel...I was sick.
RoboCop was quite a fun and entertaining movie but the movies that followed should never have been made.

LOL! My mom has worked on plays that one of the HHE2 cast members has been in - twice!
Bad sequels to good movies:
* FUTUREWORLD
* THE STING II
* MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI
* ALIEN 3
* ALIEN RESURRECTION
* EXORCIST II
* DAMIEN: OMEN II
* LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY (a damned made-for-TV movie!)
* HALLOWEEN 2 (through whatever number they are up to now)
And that is my SHORT list.

The biggest crime/sin of that movie was the killing off of Elgin (Michael Wincott) in the first half of it! He was one of the coolest characters! Plus Wincott is soooo awesome! Why couldn't have they of killed off some other character? Like some of the others being played by not as famous actors!
I'm going to have to disagree with you on 'Futureworld', 'Damien', and 'Halloween 2'. Sure they weren't great sequels, but IMHO they aren't bad movies either. They have their merits. Now as for 'Halloween 3' that was a fun, little harmless flick that shouldn't have been released under the 'Halloween' franchise.
Here's one...I was only thinking on the lines of a second movie but if we're looking at sequels to sequels then I have one that p**ses me off every time I think about it. Most of you know I am a huge Road Warrior fan. I had read there was going to be a Mad Max III released and for months I was practically drooling about it. I was first in line to see it and I could've killed everyone that had anything to do with that film. It was the most disgusting piece of trash I had ever seen. They took what made the first 2 movies so good and just tossed it out the window and pussified Max in hopes of making big money.
Rosemary's Baby had a squeal!?
Good god I never knew!
Has anyone mentioned Bambi 2? You know, I mean on principle?
I friend of mine rented it for his daughter (she just turned 5). She told him it was stupid, and I think that was a direct quote.
Yikes, don't get me started on Disney's many straight-to-video sequels of classic stories.
There should be some law against sullying an age-old children's favourite with crappy cash grabs like Cinderella 2, for example. Nothing is sacred to those people.

Olivia D'Abo's parts were great!
All of them! :)
Dave:
Yes, it's true . . . there was a terrible made-for-TV sequel to ROSEMARY'S BABY. It was made in the mid 1970s. Ruth Gordon was the only original cast member that returned for the sequel. Patty Duke replaced Mia Farrow as Rosemary and the baby was grown up. BAD, BAD, BAD and boring.
Definitely "Caddyshack Two".Here's An Idea For The Next "Stuart Little"Movie:James Stewart Little.The Star of "Winchester 73";"Anatomy of a Murder"and "The FBI Story"Comes Back As A Little Mouse That's Adopted By Hugh Laurie and Geena Davis!!OOOWWW!!FOR THE LUVVA GOD!!TURN OFF THE TASER!!PLEASE!!!!
