DBWI: The Worst Sequels Ever Made

Did anyone see Mel Gibson's sequel to "The Passion of the Christ", "Resurrection"?

If you haven't, picture the last ten minutes of 2001, the first minutes of A Clockwork Orange with the last two episodes of Evangelion and half of "The Passion"...

And in the Theather I Went, there were no subtitles! :rolleyes:
 
Scent of a Woman II

I think that the 1995 sequel to Scent of a Woman was a disappointment. Frank Slade and Charlie go to New York after Charlie graduates from the Baird School. They have some fun, and Charlie ends up spending an evening with Donna, but the movie becomes depressing after Frank goes to see his family, has an argument with them, and spends the rest of the time in their hotel room drinking and being depressed until he finally kills himself. They could have done a lot better with this movie.
 
Beverly Hills Cop III: Gigli.

(They put a completely different black guy as the lead and it becomes a sequel, the hell)
 
Bravehearrt II: The Triumph of Robert the Bruce. I love Scotswank as much as the next man, but really...

Varina's Tale: The somewhat hokey followup to Spartacus in which the kid grows up to be Vecingetorix, which means another doomed fight with the Romans.

The Godfather IV. Leo Dicaprio as a Corleone? Please...

The Sting III. The children of Gandorf and Hooker take down a corrupt US Senator in the Watergate era.
 
Ghostbusters III. Really, was there a point to simply remake the first movie, only to have it set in Britain? (though the scene where they go after the ghost of graham chapman was kind of funny)
 
How about "Harry Potter 5.5" - The Wizard Wars? They took a bad situation (Radcliffe's injury doing Equus) and made it worse by concocting a movie about Albus Dumbledore in WW II just to make sure the milk of the franchise did not run dry. No plot, ill-conceived cameos (Harry Melling as a cowering infantryman? Dame Maggie Smith in an awful makeup job as the "mother" of her McGonagall character?), and a "climactic duel" which might have been interesting had it not repeatedly and comically been interrupted by random German soldiers (the only thing they left out were CGI versions of Werner Klemperer and John Banner).

I thought that was so bad it was good.

Has it already been said that "President's Cabinet: Fat Albert goes to Washington" was very bad?

Now, I haven't seen it, but 2002: Odyssey II was about as bad as it gets. From the reviews that I've dug up, it's apparently in the category of "So Bad it's So Bad it's good."
 
The recent discovery of Ed Wood's "Plan 19 From Outer Space" made from cutting room rejects of the original has to take the cake. I mean the scenes with Bela after he dies and is in his coffin and they stop motion him sitting up is the ultimate in bad taste.
 
How about Richard III III. The Richard of the past, present, an future unite to defeat the ninja army.

Then there was Alien vs Predator vs E.T.. You knew the little guy didn't stand a chance.
 
Did anyone see Behind Enemy Lines: Ireland? Bassicly, a group of britsh soldiers get captured by the IRA. Terrible movie. You can tell that there faking the accents. The only thing that semi-saved the movie was the explsions and gunbattles. Which there was too many of. You could'nt really connect with the characters.
