4_kidd_4 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Inspired by recently learning that “A Christmas Story 2” is a thing, what are or were some real stinkers that followed a pretty good to great original movie? Top of my head, I gotta say Caddyshack 2 was really awful, and just about a downright disservice to the original. The Clooney & Kilmer Batman flicks were pretty bad too, imo. Not sure if those are sequels or not. The newest Star Wars trilogy is a trainwreck. Godfather 3 is not a good movie. Everything after Rocky 4 is no good. What say youse??

Doc Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 A better topic would be: what good sequels were there? I'd say Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Empire Strikes Back. Outside of those, I'd be hard-pressed to name any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfather II As far as the bad ones, Blues Brothers 2000 was horrendous comedy wise, but music wise, it could have been better than the original.

Folks love to piss on Godfather III, and yes, it is not in the league of 1 and 2, both those are 2 of the best 5 films of all time. But Godfather III is not a bad movie. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Godfathers I and II set the bar incredibly high so III had the deck stacked against it from the get go. Personally I think GF III is OK. For me the gold standard of terrible sequels is Caddy shack II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Major League 2 was a dud. Slap Shot 2 was even worse than that. Speaking of Charlie Sheen, Hot Shots Part Deux was the first movie I ever walked out of. Not that the first one was a masterpiece by and stretch, but even teenage me knew when to cut my losses w part 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blows me away when you consider how great the original was. i have always thought Godfather II was better than Godfather I. Maybe the only time a sequel has actually bettered the original. by the way in terms of terrible sequels, as you all may have guessed I would say, “the next karate kid” starring Hillary Swank was terrible. I won’t even mention the Karate Kid re-boot starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, which I believe should be banned in the United States. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, man Kobra Kai series is some cringey stuff. Started off OK, has some moments, but about halfway thru season 1 wife and I were basically “hate watching” it, mostly to roll our eyes and groan haha. Not that we had high expectations, but comeon guys, we’re adults still hung up on high school??? Also, what happened to Ralph Macchio’s shoulders? Why are they missing?? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all the references (some very subtle) to the original movies have brought be down memory lane. by the way, if you think season 1 is over the top, you should see season 2. The end of season 2 is nuclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh we’ve already grimaced our way through season 2 😂 Don’t get me wrong, absolutely love the original movies, and for a minute Kobra Kai was definitely entertaining in regards to nostalgia. Johnny’s character is pretty good. But as a whole, it’s a teen drama with really bad acting. And on that note, of course we’ll watch season 3 haha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
