Worst sequel in movie history.

[Someone]

I'm not sure they really count since they were ALL so bad, but only in a kind of bland generic stupid kind of way. I guess if someone is just trying to shove out a film to make some money it's not quite the same level of awfulness that can only be achieved when someone was trying to make a good movie or what ever it was some people were trying to do.

Well, you are going to stone me, but the first american ninja film was even watchable (or was when I was a kid). The sequels, I agree, were made with the "why making an effort to do anything but crap, martial arts fans are stupid anyway and will eat it with gusto".

I never watched anything of Direstalker, but I heard that it´s a good way to commit suicide.

I'm probably dating myself but I'd have to vote for Smokey and the Bandit 3 "Smokey is the Bandit". It's 29 on the IMDB worst movies list: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0086325/
Granted Smokey and the Bandit 2 was horrible but the third one takes bad to a whole new level.

This is a little off-topic, but I just looked at the IMDB Bottom 100 list, and I find it incredibly amusing that Gigli was ranked the absolute worst movie of all time by IMDB voters.

Never saw the movie myself, but from what I hear it was pure exploitive crap designed to show off J.Lo's body and Affleck's "talent."

....That was a bit Harsh !

.......were made with the "why making an effort to do anything but crap, martial arts fans are stupid anyway and will eat it with gusto"

I think that statement was a bit harsh towards Martial Arts Fans, claiming that they are "Stupid" is a very negative generalization and should really be kept to ones self, not put on a public board. Bet you wouldn't say that out load at your nearest Martial Arts Academy....Ouch !!!

Mortal Kombat Annihilation also holds a hated place in my heart, my friends went to see it the day before I went to see it, they told me it was pretty good. They were waiting for me when the movie got out so they could laugh at me, I didn't find it that funny myself.

Was that the last time you ever talked to any of them?

I still hold a grudge against the people who talking me into going to se it.

You do realise he wasn't throwing that out there as his own personal opinion, right?

I´m sorry. After the last quote in my last post should be the word "attitude"; I forgot to type it. However, I´ll maintain that the series I mention there are meant to martial arts fans that will eat it (with gusto) simply because in it people bash other people. I tend to think of that as rather stupid, if only because I fell in the trap sometimes and thought myself as a moron afterwards.

OK - so it's not a sequel, but it must be mentioned anytime the words worst film come up.

For a sequel I have to go with Caddy Shack II - I still have not forgiven Dan Ackroyd.

Caddyshack II was pretty much destined to fail. The original Caddyshack was a classic, combining the comedic genius of Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, and Rodney Dangerfield. It's held up remarkably well over the years, and can still elicit laughter.

Caddyshack II came out nearly a decade after the original. Gone were Ted Knight, Bill Murray, and (most importantly) Rodney Dangerfield. Instead, they were replaced by Jackie Mason, Dan Ackroyd, and Randy Quaid, none of whom managed to give out their best performances. It also suffered from a bad script that was a butchered clone of the original (In Caddyshack, Rodney Dangerfield played a wealthy Real Estate Owner whose boorish antics enraged the uptight members of Bushwood Country Club. In Caddyshack II, Jackie Mason plays a wealthy Real Estate Owner whose boorish antics enraged the uptight members of Bushwood Country Club), and an attempt to make the movie more family friendly by making it PG instead of R. What resulted was a sequel that had virtually nothing in common with its predecessor except for the title, Chevy Chase's character, and the fact that they were both set on a golf course.

This is someting I've noticed about bad (though not necessarily horrible) sequels to great (or at least wildly popular) movies, like Ghostbusters 2, MIB II etc... Is a tendancy to essentially "reset" things back to the state they were at the start of the first movie only switching around one or two elements (J being the experienced agent and K being the rookie, Or the Ghostbusters being poor and obscure again). I think it's part of Hollywood's general timidity in wanting something "different, but not too different."

No Worries !!!

It's ok, no harm done....just thought your comment was a bit OTT. But I do appreciate your point more now.
