All the PULSE movies
That's all I got.
There's more than one Pulse movie ?

Yes, not talking about the 80's film.
CHILDREN OF THE CORN II.
Eight years after the first mediocre movie, somebody decided to release this horrible sequel. (It was the rise of direct-to-video sequels in the early '90s.) The worst part is that it opened the door for five more sequels. That's right, there are seven Children of the Corn movies, plus one remake.
They are all awful.
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR also has a lot of horrible sequels, but at least the original sequel had a reason for being, even if it wasn't very good.
Quote from: Trekkie313 on December 05, 2010, 02:50:24 PM
RoboCop 3
That truly was God awful. I will have to add in The Ring 2 and any of the Grudges. Can the American remake be enough?
From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money
I liked the third, but this was awful.
Police Academy, although I can't quite decide where to draw the line. Definitely Police Academy 4 and higher. Police Academy 2 and 3 were nowhere near as good as the first, but watchable. If we're talking worst and most unwarranted, I'd say 4 and higher.
Smokey and the Bandit 3. I think Part 2 did a lot of things wrong, not the least of which was taking a sharp turn toward the cartoonish, but 3 was a whole order of magnitude worse. It lost all connection to reality and had no star, just the supporting characters doing their schtick. Very similar to what happened to Police Academy, come to think of it.
Blues Brothers 2000 and Ghost Busters 2.
I remember how lame Dan Akroyd looked out promoting both of those blasphemous stinkers.
I mean, the originals were classics that were filled with memorable moments and great one liners and to have them turned into such crap was just sad.

I couldn't stand GB2. Sorry yall. Peter Mcnichol made me want to throw my pro-keds at the TV.
As an aside, was I the only one who liked Meatballs 3? Shannon Tweed and Sally Kellerman...with McDreamy looking like a fool....bad movie gold!
CINDERELLA 2.
Or any of the other crappy, direct-to-video sequels Disney cranked out for awhile there when they ran out of good ideas.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!
IF A MOVIE HAS GONE MORE THAN 40 YEARS WITHOUT A SEQUEL, IT DOES NOT NEED ONE!!
HELLO . . . . DISNEY??? HELLO???
Grease 2!
Well, there's Aliens 3.
It's like, "Hey, let's take the happy ending of the second film and completely p**s on it! And replace the cool story we had in that one with a crappier story with only ONE alien and a completely uninteresting cast. Oh, and we'll make everyone BALD! Yeah, that's the ticket!"
Battle Royale 2
It's like, "Hey, let's pull a sequel out of our ass that, among other things, throws out a lot of criticism at American politics (even though said politics have NOTHING to do with the plot), rips off Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, tack on about three endings, and violia! Another movie!"
Thw HIDDEN 2. The first was classic. The second...awful.
AIRPLANE 2 was a bad rehash of the first classic.
The SATANIC RITES of DRACULA was lousy.Awfula! (Sorry,Chris...a sad farewell for the screens second best Dracula.)
The FLY 2. Bad.....really bad. Not inna good way. :buggedout:

And the Howling 2 was just hilarious in every way. If I were teaching a Bad Movies 101 class, that would definitely be in the syllabus.
Nonsensical sequel connection to original movie? Check.
Scotch-tape-and-aluminum-sheeting-caliber special effects? Check.
Complete lack of any logical carryover? Check.
Complete lack of any logic from point to point within the same movie? Check.
Christopher Lee? Check.
The very worst actors alive to drag Christopher Lee down into the wolf-jobbing, blouse-tearing, eye-exploding muck? Check.
Massive, comical amounts of gratuitous wolf nudity? Check.
Terrible 80's theme music, including multiple appearances by the terrible 80's band themselves? Check.
Etc.
What a great movie.

I actually own it on VHS and I can't remember anything except that Telly Savalas was trying to steal something from the ship...I think. It had Telly Savalas in it. That much I know.
As a follow-up to The Poseidon Adventure, it fell far short. In this case, there did not have to be a morning after.
On the subject of 70s disaster movies, I was watching The Concorde: Airport '79 on TV last weekend, and Rowan took an interest. Normally, I would turn something like that off, but it was almost over. It was at the point where the plane had just been damaged by the hatch opening in midair, and all that was left was the belly landing in the alps. She was interested, and there was nothing really bad left (well one thing), so we watched it together. She was on the edge of her seat the whole time, and kept asking if something scary was going to happen. I told her it would be exciting, but not really scary. Really, the scariest thing in the movie is the George Kennedy sex scene, and that was over. Anyway, she loved the movie, or at least what she saw of it. And fortunately, I had some recollection of how it ended, and had paused the PVR earlier, so when it came time for Robert Wagner to blow his brains out, I just jumped ahead a couple of seconds.
Ro is at that age where I'm just itching to introduce her to some of the movies I liked as a kid. There are still a few ideas she needs to understand better to really appreciate them, and some still have maybe a little too much violence and death (Star Wars, for example), but I think there are a few she might get a kick out of if I was there to answer questions. I'm thinking she might be ready for Fantastic Voyage.

How old is she again?
My children have been watching STAR WARS since they could watch movies. Rightly or wrongly...it did not freak them out, even when they were very young.
We've also watched IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA and other similar era films, to great entertainment. I was careful to emphasize the 'make-believe' part. They both love stuff like that, and my daughter and I got into doing stop motion (and other camera trickery) with the cam corder, just to show her 'what you see is not necessarily real.'
My son, now 5, constantly asks, 'is that real' when we watch stuff. He's busy sorting it out for himself that people pretending to be mean, or fx that look scary are just part of the fun of movies. Still, though, he anthropomorphizes just about everything, even animations. It's pretty fun.
I'm not trying to 'preach' to you at all; I'm just saying my little ones have shared the joy of fx movies with me for several years and it seems to neither unduly harm them long term or lessen their participation in the fantasy aspects. My daughter self-regulates when something is scary to her - she either covers her eyes or runs out of the room and meekly asks, "is it over yet?" :smile:

Ro is five. I'm mostly concerned because she is kind of a sensitive kid, and tends to empathize a lot with the characters. She's been very reluctant to watch anything that might have "scary" parts, meaning basically any conflict, tension, danger, etc. Lately, the thing we have to keep explaining is that all movies are going to have situations where characters are in danger, in conflict or facing some kind of difficulty, and there is usually going to be a bad guy, because that is what drives the story.
She's moved up to more action-oriented kids' movies, and loved How to Train Your Dragon, which is why I think she might be ready to try something more mature. That, and she's reading well enough to start asking questions about the movie posters on the walls. She still needs to get a handle on the idea of actors playing parts, but she has a pretty good grasp of make-believe. She's watched parts of Godzilla movies since she was about 3, and can tell you it's people in rubber suits stomping on tiny buildings.
The main thing is that I want to show her something she can understand and follow without being too distracted by concern for the characters or questions about details that don't relate to the story. Mind you, when I saw Star Wars at six years old, I don't think I knew what the hell was going on, but it was fun to watch.

Okay, then I reiterate my suggestion of Harryhausen films - IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA being a good one. Also, DINOSAURUS! was pretty good (complete with a kid riding a dinosaur), but she may feel sorry for the dino's that get killed.
I'm wondering how much The Uncanny Valley plays into her empathy - if it's "off" enough, she's okay? My daughter, when very young, had a VERY hard time with things that were 'almost' real, but not quite (angel figurines in a store that had no faces painted on them sent her into screaming fits) - but as you say, something like Godzilla was okey-dokey.
My son is 5, and we had an absolute ball watching ASTRO ZOMBIES with him...all on his own, he gave a very MST3K-esque riff track to it the whole time. It was hilarious. The movie was just so goofy even a 5 year old could tell it, and this from one who wants to believe everything is 'real.'
I guess the common thread in what I'm saying is stick to stuff that the fx are 'easy' to explain away as 'make-believe.' I love Harryhausen's work and am not trying to downplay his art, but a giant octopus that does some of what that one does is pretty easy to say, "see, it's not real...a man made it LOOK real with a camera trick."
You could introduce this idea, too (if you have not done already) with some digital stills using forced perception and other trick photography, and let her do it to. Exploring how the movies were made and the fx were done is a BIG part of what I personally enjoy about b-movies, and for me that started when I was about your daughter's age.
Also, if you feel more ambitious, one could do some photoshop stuff (put her in front of the Taj Mahal or some such), etc.
Good luck and have fun with it...the visual art of special effects is yet another way a child can explore the world. :cheers:
