Movies that shouldn't have sequels, but do (and vice versa).

[Rackhir]

Conan the Barbarian. Destroyer was such a let-down.

It was a lousy sequel, but as a campy not-taking-its-self-seriously movie, I always found it to be quite funny and entertaining. The scene where the thief tries to explain sex to the princess was a classic.

The Hobbit

What about it?

 

[Crothian]

Cube didn't its two sequals
Tremors didn't need its 2 sequals and one prequal

Battle Royale
Ringu/Ring
Police Academy

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - Bogus Journey had it's moments, but it's hard to beat Napoleon on a water slide. Plus "Be excellent to each other! Party on dudes!" is my personal "I Ching".

Highlander - there can only be one

Matrix - Bleah.

Police Squad - the first was a decent enough teen comedy (even though the actors were adults), why they made more I'll never know.

.... Plus all the World War 2 movies. Sheesh. They even keep the Germans on as bad guys. Complete WW1 knockoff if you ask me. And the atomic bomb ending wasn't much of a twist, I totally saw that one coming.

 

[Mystery Man]

Zardoz needs a sequel, if only to get Sean Connery back into this suit.

You mean The Naked Gun. The TV show was Police Squad, which The Naked Gun is a sequel to.

Actually I meant Police Academy. My bad.

Highlander wins, hands-down. All films after the first ones were crap. Highlander 2 being the worst of the worst.
The Matthew Brodrick American version of Godzilla is worthless as a Godzilla film, it is however, a near perfect remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms!
The Thing is just crying out for a sequel.
Predator deserves better sequels.

I also see that they're making an Underworld sequel. Now, while I'm sure that there are plenty of people on these forums that enjoyed the first Underworld: I was not one of them. The first one, IMO, was awful and I cannot imagine why anyone would want a second one. *shudder*
