Sequels that DON'T suck
 

Thought this might be a more challenging thread- naming some follow up films that were as good if not better than the original.

Here are some that come to my mind:

Empire Strikes Back (watching the star wars documentry on History Channel right now)
Evil Dead 2
Devil's Rejects


if we want to go into 3 and 4 part series Mission Impossible 3 was really the only one out of that series I could get into. Shines like gold compared to the other two.

There are some movies that are sequels that you don't even think of as sequels, like Silence of the Lambs, that rock. I gotta try and rack my brain to see if I can remember any other gems.

I thought of those immediately. =]

X-Men
Mission Impossible
Kill Bill (though it's not really a sequel)

Godfather II

but Godfather III kinda sucks

The Rocky franchise held up pretty well. Rocky V- the one with Tommy Guns- is the only one that kinda falls flat

Gnaw- Food of the Gods 2

Bad Boys 2 - lol, not a great movie but way better than the first go round.

I don't know if remakes should factor in or not, but the remake of Dawn of the Dead was pretty good as far as remakes go.

Dupe thread- my bad : https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=979912

Godfather 2

nuff said

Cube 2 :winkwink:

Clerks 2

Quarantine 2 - thats right, i said it.

Fockers sequel... I see theyre coming out with another one involving babies. "Little Fockers" Should be another classic.

Always found these ones quite entertaining:

Halloween 2 (1981)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
WishMaster 2

Crank 2....

One of the scariest villains ever!

:glugglug :2 cents:

damn right Wishmaster 2!

alright, Devils Rejects didn't suck but it wasn't nearly as good as House Of 1000 Corpses.
[REC] 2
Evil Dead 2
2010
Dr. Caligari (yes this is the sequel to Cabinet of Dr. Caligari)
Dawn Of The Dead (both movies)
Bride Of Frankenstein
Leprechaun 2: Back 2 tha Hood heheh...definitely better than the first one.

These sequels rock in their own special way:

Puppet Master 2
Hills Have Eyes 2

Terminator II

Aliens owns this thread

Magnum Force


Terminator 2


The Godfather Part II


Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Oh come on. The original is a classic and the sequel was a 2 hour dick joke.

Since Terminator has already been mentioned I'll point out Dark Knight and Iron Man 2.

Also

Fletch Lives

for me... National Treasure...

Halloween 2 (original Halloween 2) is on par with the first, in some ways I like it better.


Wishmaster 2, that's where the guy fucks himself, right? :1orglaugh

Damn you...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Yeah! If you love genie jokes that's your movie...

Have you ever seen Sorority Babes and the Slimeball Bowlarama?

To me that movie is one of the kings of "be careful what you wish for". :2 cents: :thumbsup

squeakquels?

Today it's not the best day to make me feel defeated, Shelly...

I really liked toy story 3

mad max 2 followed the story from the first, but I thought beyond thunderdome was crap

Aliens is the easy answer !!

With Terminator for me it's:

T1: Classic
T2: Annoying, lame humor ruined the movie
T3: Good
T4: *yells at lighting guy for fucking up the movie*

the second Austin Powers movie

That's the only one that comes to mind.

And I agree the third part sucked.

Godfather is the greatest.
I also enjoyed Lethal Weapon, I'd still want to see Gibson and Glover in a final one.

Is this an outsourced post?

Thinking of a reply brings morning flowers to mind.

Couldn't remember the name of it, didn't love it, don' own it but thought it was worthy of a mention. I think it's called the Spy who Shagged me now that it's the AM and I have some coffee.

My mornings alwas smell like feet...

I was going to add "PHANTASM II" but if I recall well this one looks much more like a movie than "PHANTASM I", heh...

Great topic. Here are a few follow up movies that I really enjoyed.
Jaws 2
Ace Venture: When Nature Calls (your balls are showing....lol)
28 Weeks Later.

PREDATOR 2 was good...

Indisputable champs: Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum
Honorable Mention: Grumpier Old Men
Worst: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
