[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9239542, member: 7035894"] As a grad student I was doing work on William Gibson, and I got my hands on his unused script for Alien 3. When he was hired to write it, it looked like Sigourney Weaver was done with the franchise, so Hicks and Bishop are the main characters, Newt has a significant role, and it is much more in the vein of Aliens. It would have been way more fun than the Alien 3 we got, which is not a terrible film in many respects...considered in its own right. I mean, it's Fincher. But it's an [I]appalling[/I] sequel to Aliens (my favourite film with the possible exception of this next one...). To the OP, I think I gotta go with Jaws 2. Yes, Jaws 3 is worse, but it was Jaws 2 that took a near perfect film and attempted to turn it into a formulaic franchise. Edit, also, Halloween 3. Halloween 2 is not as good as the original, an almost impossible act to follow. But it does a capable job of maintaining the continuity set up at the end of the first film. But Halloween 3...WTF?
