In 2 he did, but then gave it up. And in 3 and later he didn't. Gah. Aliens.  Alien 3 basically said that "oops, Aliens didn't end on a happy note like you thought, moments later, everyone died off screen." Grrrrr. Now I can't stand to watch Aliens and it used to be my favorite movie.T2 -  T3 pretty much did the same thing to T2 what Alien 3 did to Aliens.  Props to Linda Hamiliton for refusing to appear in it.Black Mask.  I don't even know where to begin with Black Mask 2. Wrestlers? Animal People? Tracy Lords? The Exorcist.  While not a bad movie, Exorcist II is again one of those sequels that largely rewrites what happens in the first movie, most notably killing off the survivors of the first who you think were saved.  Wasn't a bad movie, just sort of a downer. I did like the Exorcist III, though.Amityville is an interesting case. The first sequel, 2, actually was a prequel, telling the story of the kid who shot his parents and sisters.  The 3rd movie is a sequel, and IMHO, by far the best in the series, since it makes no attempt to be "true" or realistic, but is just a plain old horror/haunted house movie, which it does pretty well.  And it was in 3D (part of the short lived 3D craze of the  '80s) so it's got all those fantastic 3d shots like frisbees and swordfish flying into the camera.Similarly, I enjoyed Conan the Destroyer, but it's different than the original. The original movie tried to stick to Howard, at least in spirit, while the 2nd was basically a D&D movie.  As a Conan movie it's bad, but as a D&D movie it's good.</blockquote>
