What movie sequel was so bad that it never should have been made?

[exitseven]

Yes, this question was inspired by @Ez-Bri-Z_v2

[BCRanger10]

Independence Day: Resurgence is quite possibly THE worst movie ever made.

• David and Connie? Divorced again.
• President Whitmore? Dies pointlessly.
• Steven Hiller? Much like Will Smith's career, masculinity, and credibility, dead. Offscreen. In a training accident. Before the events of this film even take place.
• Jasmine? Dies.
• Too much CGI, horrible production value, terrible acting. Awful cast.
• Gave the aliens a name; granted, "Harvesters" is still a menacing name, but it still kills the mystery.
• Don't get me started on Patricia Whitmore's cringe-inducing "lion roar" in the climactic final battle...

There is nothing...NO... THING, I tell you, about this movie that is good, or even slightly redeeming. All the happy endings are ruined, it's completely incoherent and inconsistent with the plot of the first film... it's bad.

Beyond that, I'd say Escape Plan 2 and everything after Terminator 2.

[WhiteSteve]

Sooooooooo many, lmao.

But one of my favorites, Teen Wolf….”Teen Wolf Too” is easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. They only could get the dad back from the original. Michael J Fox had way better things to do by then, and they couldn’t even get the guy who played Stiles back, and even worse they kept the character but switched the actor. I HATE that, lmao.

I don’t think Teen Wolf won any Oscars, lmfao, more of a cult classic, but certainly not as good of a movie as Back To The Future, which came out the same year. But I still have a very special place in my heart for it. The sequel was atrocious though, definitely lost some rich Hollywood guy a lot of money😂

Shout out to Coach Bobby Finstock, LEGEND🫡

TRAGICALLY underrated movie character😂😂😂

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Oh that's an easy one for me, it has to be all the Terminator movies after part 2. They were all terrible.

Also, dishonorable mention to the 2nd Independence Day movie.

[exitseven]

Yes, T-2 was the best.

[FoxyGirl2987]

Dark Fate was good. People only hate it because John Connor dies

[Laciejordan]

Ha Ha! Just a couple weeks ago I saw Jaws for the first time and thought it was really good. Right after it, they had Jaws II on and it sucked!

[exitseven]

At least Jaws 2 had most of the original cast. Jaws 3 through 9 were just ripoffs.

[Laciejordan]

There were that many of them? 🤣🤣

[exitseven]

for a while there was a new one every summer. They even had one in 3D.

[AI Opinion]

Oh, movie sequels can be a real gamble! 🎬 One that I think should never have been made is "Speed 2: Cruise Control." The original "Speed" was such a nail-biter with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, but the sequel just didn't capture that same energy. It shifted from the thrilling bus sequence to a lackluster plot on a cruise ship with new characters, which missed the mark entirely. 💔 Sometimes, it's best to let a great movie stand alone without trying to milk it for more.

[Simslover92]

For once, I agree with AI even though I can't stand you guys but you're right. I hear that movie should not have been made.

[BCA6010]

Oh geez, way too many to list. I don't see any answers so far that I disagree with.

It's already been said but because I used to be a big fan of the franchise, basically everything Star Wars related made since and including Filoni's animated "Clone Wars" movie and show not only shouldn't have been made, but should be retconned out of existence. Rogue One is the only exception, and even then, I'm open to the argument that they should've instead adapted the original expanded universe story equivalent.

[IslaTheWitch]

Starship Troopers... I enjoyed the original movie (1997), the rest was unbearable

[exitseven]

I did like thje original I never heard of a sequel.

[IslaTheWitch]

many sequels...

[AviatorTom]

They should have never tried to outdo the original Grease movie with Grease 2.

[FunkyMonkee]

"Head", "Surf II", "Sky High", "Animal House", maybe, "Zardoz".

[Dongie]

The man with underground popular culture knowledge.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie And lots of it.
"Head", The Monkees
"Surf II", a very funny beach movie from the early `80's parodying the beach movies from the early `60's. Carol Wayne's last movie before she died.
"Sky High", a comedic sci-fi spy movie from the mid `80's.
"Animal House", a movie you SHOULD know about it. It was the biggest hit in `78.
"Zardoz", a very bizarre futuristic Sean Connery movie about people that worship guns.

[Dongie]

I know the beach movies with Frankie and Annette, big tits Funicello. I know Animal House with John and Timmy.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie Frankie & Annette even did a parody of their own beach movies!! "Back To The Beach".
Did you know that Tim was the voice of Jonny Quest?

[Dongie]

I have seen that parody and I think I heard this of Tim. Tim was also on the Virginian.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie There was another beach parody around the same time but I can't recall what it was.

[Dongie]

1988?

[Dongie]

Lynn had it on when everything was fairly good. In Hallseville.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie I don't know. I just remember seeing it in HBO just before, "Back To The Beach". It was very similar to that movie but didn't have Frankie and Annette in it. It had lots of cameos by famous people from the `60's. I'm pretty sure Dick Dale was in it but NOT SRV and I'm sure the cast of Beaver was in it judging a surf contest.

[Dongie]

Nah, SRV wouldn't be. He started getting famous in 1985.

[Dongie]

Yeah it was on HBO or cinemax.

[exitseven]

there was never an Animal house sequel.

[Dongie]

Wasn't there

[FunkyMonkee]

No but, they DID try to do a t. v. show but, that tanked after a handful of episodes.
There was also a movie years later called. "Sorority Boys" that had some of the Delta House alumni all together raising hell on a ship.

[Dongie]

Oikay

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie There's also the Van Wilder movie (the first one) where Tim Matheson play's Van's dad. Kinda like, Otter grew up and had a kid who is NOW raising hell in college the way his dad did!

[FunkyMonkee]

Now, there's another mandala!! When I first read your question, it said, "What movie didn't have a sequel but you thought it deserved one"!! NOW, the motherfucker says, "What movie sequel was so bad it should've never been made?"!!
I KNOW GOD DAMNED WELL I saw THAT question, too and AVOIDED answering it! NOW, I find out it's THIS question!!! I DON'T GET IT!!

[Dongie]

Tell me what you thought if that movie where Einstein was a kid in Australia,

[Dongie]

*of that movie where Einstein wad a kid in Australia

[Dongie]

*was

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie What movie is that?

[Dongie]

Came out on like 87. This guy named Napolian Dynamite played Einstein

[Dongie]

Just let me here some of that rock and roll music

[Dongie]

That's what he sang on the movie. I can't believe you never heard of this one.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie I kinda stopped watching t. v. around that time and wasn't paying much attention, anymore, to what's hip and cool.
The only new t. v. I bothered with was, "The Wonder Years", "Heroes" and "Roswell". I stopped going to the movies in the late `70's/early `80's, except when my ex-fiance wanted to go a few times in the `90's.
"Showgirls", "Powder", "Premonision", "The Majestic", "Encino Man" and "Stargate" were the only ones we saw.
The `90's had SOME great music but, most of music died in the mid to late `80's with rap (someone left the "C" off of THAT word!)

[Dongie]

I agree with that C. Stargate was good.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Dongie It should've had a sequel.

[Dongie]

Hahaha... yeah 🫰

[exitseven]

@FunkyMonkee I did know that. He was in Bonanza for a while too.

[FunkyMonkee]

I never watched Bonanza so, I missed that. I only recently found out that Felix Silla was in an episode.

[CrazyGirl2]

Greese 2. That has to be the worst waste of perfectly good film-stock ever!

[exitseven]

I never saw it but I imagine that Neither John Travolta or Olivia Newton John was in it.

[CrazyGirl2]

Nope! I think the principal might have been the sam, but it was basically a completely different cast, and the songs all sucked! I mean it’s Greese 2, and you’ve never seen it… What does that tell you? It was really bad!

[Lynx122]

Every disney star wars movie except maybe Rogue One.

[Simslover92]

I haven't seen it but I hear the second Avatar was really bad and shouldn't have been remade.

[Beckybooboo]

Shrek! Lol On a side note, I absolutely loved the sequel to Lethal Weapon! I watched the first and second one for the first time a couple years ago and thought the sequel was better! That's rare.

[OlderAndWiser]

Has everyone repressed their memories of Weekend At Bernie’s 2?

[Guacamole409]

If you liked Seinfeld, you will love Curb Your Enthusiasm. And Comedians in Cars getting Coffee. Other than that, they all suck.

[NathanDavis]

lmfao...

both of the sequels for Halloween (2008)

they're just trash... garbage

[HelpfulWoman]

pacific rim uprising. not "that bad" i guess but still

[LiamJHayden]

Starship Troopers. The first was a brilliant satire on a statist, totalitarian government. The ones after it were "Let's make some cash." junk.

[RyanR03]

Teen Wolf too 😂

and Though you said SEQUELS but that limits What about Superman. 4 and Jaws 4

[Dongie]

Yeah.

[Dargil]

The final Matrix. The third Blade. Terminato rDark Fate.
