Films you wish there wasn't a sequel to

Well if it wasn't for ming mong's saying it isn't canon we wouldn't be having this argument.


It doesn't help that we're all in work on a week where the is generally nothing to do as well!
 
The Fly II was a horrible movie that is a needless follow up Cronenberg's classic.

Ditto The Exorcist II

Eddie Murphy classics Beverly Hills Cop and 48 Hrs had much lesser sequels,and probably should have been left alone in hinRABight.

I never really liked Silence of the Lambs sequel Hannibal even if it was intended to be a near black comedy.

Did we ever really need a Jaws 2,3,and 4?
 
Jaws 2. No blood, no Spielberg, no Dreyfuss, no Shaw, no point.



I've seen that Riddick film twice, and I still don't know either a) what was happening, or b) what was Judi Dench doing in it?

Pitch Black was a fine film though.
 
Artistic vision counts for a lot - but canonicity is not one of those things. Nobody is arguing that T3 wasn't a mess, but something being crap does not affect its place in canon - just ask any Star Wars fan.
 
Home Alone. One sequel was fine, but another TWO after that was just stupid, especially considering none of the main cast returned, half the family got cut, there wasn't any magic left, there was no "house gags" in the 4th and the kid was never "Home Alone" in the 4th.
 
Hey don't lump me in with the Who obsessives.

I only said T3 can be viewed as non-canon due to a reboot.

If other people want to recognise a flick starring a robot with inflatable teats that's their business. ;)
 
Totally. The second one I can just about stomach but the the rave scene in the third one still makes me feel ill when I think about it *shudder*



I actually prefer Another 48 hours to the first one. Probably in the minority tho :D

The sequels I absolutely despise and wish they hadn't made are the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films. Awful, and shameful compared with the original classic :(
 
Terminator 2 was predicated upon erasing the future timeline.

T3 missed this point spectacularly by depicting what should have remained paradox.
 
We don't want to, but it's simply wrong to suggest it isn't canon. The whole nature of what canon is doesn't allow the individual to choose - it is by it's nature objective

BTW, might I suggest checking out a fan-edit of T3? 'T3: The Coming Storm' removes many of the more jarring elements (the Elton John glasses, the boob-o-matic, the love story etc) and shifts the tone to be less incongruous with the first two films.
 
No Ahnuld, no Nick Stahl, no Claire Danes, no Jonathan Mostow.

If that doesn't suggest Hollywood wants to forget T3 ever happened I don't know what does.
 
Not sure no Edward Furlong, no Linda Hamilton and no James Cameron indicated that of T2. ;) You cannot decanonise them. Like it or not, the cinematic release of T3 is the canon version. The fan edit is just less shit and more fun to watch.
 
McG begs to differ: "Well there's no doubt that the beginning of T3, for example, begins with a bit of a punt. As to what happened at the end of T2, and there's some rejuggling of the timelines. We're largely treating it as though the bombs have gone off. I'm not going to share with you what the date is where the bombs go off, and we come into the picture in 2018."
