worst sequels?

[JaseSF]

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1989) which eventually turned into a sequel of sorts to ALIEN FROM L.A. although Journey started filming before Alien I do believe.

Actually, as "Howling" movies go, I definitely should have picked "New Moon Rising" if we are going for painful bad.  "Howling II" is terrible, but rather fun for being so impossible at times.

Kind of like Leprechaun in Space that way, eh?

Now there's a movie that needs a DVD release!

"Leprechaun 4" is available on DVD. I even have it.  Not a great quality DVD if I remember, but functional and better than a VHS.

Dumb and Dumberer was just made up from jokes from the first movie. VERY dissipointing.

Remember Temple of Doom is actually a prequel. But it is the weakest of the series IMO. But no where near bad enough for this topic really. People remember the grossout stuff more than the story, character interaction, or great moments. Which do you think of first when remembering the film: the witty banter of Ford and Kate Capshaw or "chilled monkey brains?"

Regarding Ramirez coming back in the second Highlander, Yep, he lives again, just long enough to die again in a silly sacrifice with stupid FX, kind of a waste of Connery for a paycheck. Then again, we should have took it as a sign of sucky films to come from him.

Edit:Came back to fix a post so badly spelled, if I didn't know better I'd think I was drunk when I wrote it.

I've got that DVD and I've watched it about 8 times

Hahahahahahaa.....

I've got to agree that  Howling II was terrible, terrible.   Although... images are drifting up from my subconscious.  Sybill Danning.  And the endless shirt-rip sequence at the end, set to that terrible "howl" song. 

One of the latter Death Stalker movies could go in this list.  As movies go, those were like photocopies of photocopies... they barely seemed to exist.

This thread seems to be more about going from a good movie to a really bad sequel.  As in, the first movie is the summit, and worst sequel would be, you  know, as far below sea level as possible.  So in that regard Jaws II is a strong front runner for worst sequel.  By comparison, then, "Child's Play 3" isn't such a bad sequel.

Caddyshack II, anyone?

[Zapranoth]

Oh.   "Alien vs Predator" was really tedious too. 

[Yaddo 42]

Has anyone here ever seen all the Witchcraft films? That has to be a one long series of suckiness, from the few I've seen. Then again, aren't the later ones just soft-core Skinamax type porn with some sorcery plot stuff thrown in to keep them in the legit film section of stores?

Of course the worst abomination was already named with Blues Brothers 2000, so

cruel intentions 2
the second ewok movie (as if the first was necessary)
every sequel to a Michael Dudikof Movie (and there were lots of them)
the Mask 2
and my favorites are the infinite numbers of Mortal Kombat Movies (although I really like the series for the fact that the evil ones won).

[Raffine]

The Exorcist II: The Heretic Highlights include a tap dancing Linda Blair, a mind-melding Louise Fletcher, Father Richard Burton, and lots of grasshoppers.

Godzilla's Revenge A much bullied Japanese kid (in those disturbing shorts) dreams he visits Monster Island. He meets a talking Minilla (Godzilla, Jr.) who teaches him to fight like a monster. Most of the monster footage is recycled from other films making this the Godzilla movie equivalent of a very special Facts of Life clip show.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Just what this franchise needed: a big screen remake of "The Way to Eden"! Too bad they couldn't work in a subplot with Spock's brain getting kidnapped. I wonder if the clip of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is on YouTube?

By the way, does anyone know if there ever really was a sequel to the Hilton Sisters (Violet & Daisy, not Paris & Nicky!) film Chained for Life called Torn by the Knife? I've seen it referenced in several older film books but have never seen anything else about it.

[Joe]

i have the leperechaun box set "pot of gore" collection and leprechaun back 2 tha hood which is worse than in space IMO.

as far as bad sequels go ( meaning the 2nd in a series) id have to go with Silent night deadly night part 2.

Nothing that I can find that I would call "responsible" for that sequel.  And, gosh darn, you gave me the name for a movie that I had pondered over time to time - just never actually looked for it.  This is the film with one twin convicted of a crime and the plight of the other that will have to server he cojoined twin's sentence too?
