Worst sequel in movie history.

[Silver Moon]

Worthy entries one and all, and for fantasy and Sci-fi I'll agree with Highlander II. As for sequels in general, the absolute worst sequel had to be The Sting II. Made a full decade after the classic original, the character played by Paul Newman in the was recast with Jackie Gleason and the Robert Redford character was recast with singer Mac Davis. They also recast Robert Shaw's character, but since he had died I guess we can forgive them for that.

Batman & Robin, especially since Batgirl didn't have red hair.

Orbitalfreak, is that the worst thing you can say about that movie? I salute you, my friend. You are King Geek.

I gotta go with Batman and Robin. I've never talked in a crowded movie theater before, but I couldn't wait for the credits to start ripping on that hackjob. I found it telling that not one person shushed me.

I would have said Highlander II, but was it really that much worse than the first one? There's some fan adulation that I just don't get. To me, Highlander is right up there with Dr. Who in terms of sheer "People enjoy this crap?"-itude.

I feel Matrix reloaded was a big drop from the orginal. Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey was terrible. Blues Brother 2000!! Jaws 3 and 4; Caddyshack 2; Speed 2.

DING! DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!

Caddyshack 2 and Speed 2 probably tie for the title of worst sequel ever.

Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life

You must be joking. I thought Cradle of Life was better than the first Tombe Raider, and I liked both movies.

Batman 4.

I hate Joel Schumacher.

Preach on brother!

To this day and until the day I die, I will refuse to watch any movie directed by that man.

My vote goes to MK:A, god was it awful. Batman & Robin I didn't see, so I can't vote for it.

Speed 2? What's not to like about a film where a cruise ship full of yuppies crashes up on a beach? And any film with William Defoe as the bad guy can't be all wrong.

Blue Brothers 2000 was a waste of time and money. I do remember laughing during one scene, but forget what it was now, and would prefer to NOT think about that film in detail until I remember.

Exorcist 2. Definitely Exorcist 2.

Sequels like Speed 2, the follow up to Mortal Kombat, et cetera, don't count because the predecessors weren't worth the effort either.
