Movie Biggest Drop-Off in Quality between a movie and its sequel

[Xtreme]

Fair enough, i just wanted an excuse to post the JJ laughing gif, no malice intended

I was 8 when the original came out. The first two movies are great (i have not watched them for a few years, so perhaps my taste has changed... i should still get a slight chuckle from them). I sat through Home Alone 3 a few years ago and it was just wrong on many levels. I dread to think what would happen if they do a remake or attempt another sequel.

Well I think the target market for these films is certainly children (although the first Home Alone is a great family film and Christmas film).

I was too young to see the original when it came out, and was about 9 when 3 came out.

Speed - Speed 2
Under Siege - Under Siege 2
48 HRS - Another 48 HRS
Mission Impossible (Tom Cruise) - Mission Impossible 2 (I enjoyed the third one, haven't watched the 4th)
Beverly Hills Cop - Beverly Hills Cop 2
Porky's - the rest of them
Blazing Saddles - Lust In The Dust
all the Dirty Harry movies after Magnum Force weren't a patch on the first 2.

I like all the Terminator movies with 1 and 2 the obvious standouts, it's exciting to see they're doing another for release in '15.

The Omen - sequels

Good choice, esp. the first (love Don Siegel's work)

Austin Powers: Goldmember was disgusting compared to the first two.

Taken 2 was a deplorable cash grab.

Home Alone 3 just lost the vibe of the originals.

Rocky V, why?

 

[caveman72]

Nope, didn't happen.

there can be only one

I actually saw the Under Siege films recently, and they are both solid genre films. I don't think there is any real drop off in quality.

Yep, the only issue with the 2nd was that the storyline was a bit more ridiculous (which considering the story of the 1st movie is an achievement in itself). But both were made to a similar standard.

Cheech and Chong after Up In Smoke, although Nice Dreams had its moments.

 

[Kong]

Mortal Kombat: MKII.

They made the entire first film irrelevant within the first 5 minutes of the sequel, and killed off one of the main characters.

Speed 2. Why on earth did they pick a cruise liner!?!?

It was based on a dream the director had. Pretty poor imagination imo...

Taken then Taken 2.

God damn Taken 2 was god awful.

Worst ever IMO.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

You could nominate so many movies for this.

Some that havent been mentioned.
The Descent > 2

Good Pickup.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Watched this for the first time in years and it was better than I remembered, obviously nowhere near Once Were Warriors as a film but still one worthwhile making imo.

Think the Sequal suffered from very poor acting/Casting apart from Temuera Morrison(Jake).

The 40 Friday The 13th Sequals were entertaining in their own kinda scary way,The last 10 though have dropped off I must admit.

If they'd made a second Highlander movie, that would undoubtedly have sucked. But they didn't, so all's good.

Crocodile Dundee 2 & 3 were puss infected boils.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Zoolander. Big fan of the first with countless re-watches. Couldn't make it through number 2.

 

[HahnPremium]

Anerican Psycho 2.
Abomination

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The Blair Witch sequel is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. The original is grouse.

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Blair Witch 2, mega fail.

 

[Cleavy]

LEGO movie 2. Also the sequels to Look Who’s Talking and Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

 

[NSWCROW]

Cruel Intentions 2

Was one good scene...
