What were they thinking? 10 Sequels no one asked for.
Sequels have been a part of literature and film since their inception. Every so often Hollywood decides to cash in on a big movie, or an unexpected hit. Instead of filling my list with strait to video dud sequels to movies that weren't even that inspired in the first place, I tried to make a list comprised of those movies that a lot of people decided to spend a lot of money on, and they had no real reason to other than to cash in on a hot commodity. I could list all the BAD sequels till I'm blue in the face. There are movies that are suited for a second or third helping but just didn't cut it, that's not what this list is about though. Trying to avoid the obvious pit-falls in the action, horror (especially horror), and sci-fi realms (note: No Star Wars Prequels), television movie sequels, comedy, or sequels to already bad movies. There are also a lot of family films that get rancid sequels, but those are just too easy and I have a place for the worst offenders of them all on this list (5).
I tried to find movies that were just totally uncalled for. We're talking about movies that stretch the ideals of sequels in general. A few on the list may fall into one of those categories above that I'm trying to avoid, and you may think they do not belong, but they are here because they tried to reinvent themselves in this try (Take 8 and 9 for example). The list could be a bit longer, so I will just give honorable mentions to a few that didn't make it, ones that stink so bad I haven't even bothered to see them-(Staying Alive, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and The Sting II to name a few.) Here is my list of sequels that no one asked for, well, I didn't, did you?
