Forgotten Sequels to Great Movies

The Two Jakes.

Texasville deserves to be forgotten.

Return to Lonesome Dove was awful. Replacing Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones was the first mistake.

The Evening Star, forgotten sequel to Terms of Endearment

Staying Alive

The Evening Star follow up to Terms of Endearment

The Odd Couple II, which is actually a great Saturday afternoon movie. Lemmon & Matthau on a road trip with supporting “love interest” roles by Jean Smart & DL fave Christine Baranski as two biker sluts. Love it!

I love The Evening Star, it’s better than ToE.

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure, which funnily enough, turned out being Sally Field's follow-up to Norma Rae. It wasn't so much forgotten, though, as it's often cited as one of the worst sequels of all time.

Grease 2

The "Splash" predecessor "Miranda" (1948) , with Glynis Johns as a mermaid, had a sequel called "Mad about Men" (1954), which was like a extended sit-com, with Johns playing two roles now, much more farcical than the original but silly fun. "Splash" got its own sequel, a TV movie called "Sllash Too" (1988), without Hanks or Hannah.

Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights

R10 Grease 2 was actually pretty popular and hardly forgotten, (although more of a cult following).

Mama Mia! Here We Go Again

It would've been pretty hard to recapture the magic of [italic]the Last Picture Show[/italic], the sense of melancholy mixed with beautiful young actors and talented older actors. When I read [italic]Texasville[/italic], I mostly felt sorry for Duane's character; the women all seemed to be picking on him unfairly. I didn't expect much from the movie, so I wasn't disappointed.

Is The Last Picture Show a DL fav? Short of Cloris Leachman throwing the coffee pot and Ben “Big Daddy” Johnson, what would the draw be? Texas twinks touching and crying?

I may have answered my own question....

Mannequin 2 On the move.

Replaced Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall with William Ragsdale and everybody's favorite Republicunt Kristy Swanson.

Well at least they kept Mesach Taylor as Hollywood.

Mary Poppins Returns

Return to the Blue Lagoon - PG-13 rating killed it

An American Werewolf in Paris - crappy CGI wolf

Basic Instinct 2 - too much Sharon

Oliver's Story - Who cares

R16 The draw of Last Picture Show for me was Clu Gulager. Yes, he fucked Cybil and her mother but he made me moist.

Return of the Living Dead

Shock Treatment the horrible non-musical sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

R22 You have never seen it, have you?

Every sequel to Hellraiser after part 3. And they're still making them as of a few years ago.

Cruel Intentions 2 was some straight to video schlock. I think pre fame Amy Adams was in it, actually.

^ Barker is also working on a new version, going back to the novella.

All of the 'Psycho' sequels, though they're all guilty pleasures for me.

Now that I'm old enough I decided to watch Basic Instinct. It really was a fun, well-acted/well-cast, campy, suspensful film. I was surprised to learn there's a Basic Instinct II, but like everything else Sharon Stone has done in the past 20 years, it was a box office bomb.

Babe: Pig In the City

The Director’s Cut of “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” – featuring the intact, unedited Helen Lawson nude scenes. She sings “He’ll Plant His Own Tree,” while being fucked by Forrest Tucker.

Carrie 2, the one where "Carrie" made people die with flying CDs and the one where Mena Suvari played the bullied "ugly" girl. I think the only person who enjoyed that shitfest of a film was Steven Spielberg, because it gave him a rare opportunity to see a spear go through Amy Irving's head.

R31, How very dare you!

R11, What happens in "Sllash Too"? Does the mermaid get chopped up and served as sushi?

It seems like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't talked about as much, but it's a much more fun movie.

Deuce Bigalow, European Gigolo

Caddyshack II

Dumb and Dumberer

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2

Fright Night Part 2

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

Short Circuit 2

Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold

Sequel to “East is East”

Yes! R35, [italic]Anything[/italic] with Eleanor Parker, Mary Astor, AND Tuesday Weld!

Such fun!

From Shock Treatment...

"Curse Of the Cat People" is definitely a sequel to "Cat People". The three leads are the same, playing the same characters. But the new film had absolutely nothing to do with curses or cats.

The Sting 2 starring Jackie Gleason and Mac Davis! (I guess Newman and Redford were unavailable).

The Porpoises of September

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo

Godfather 3. The one nobody talks about. Ever.

Fletch Lives.

Another 48 Hours.

The God-awful `Whatever Happened to Rosemary's Baby?'

r47 Maybe to YOU,

but nobody forgets Breakin' 2, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO!

I prefer Fletch Lives, especially since moving to the South.
