    Sequels and or Remakes that should've never been made.

    Rocky 3 and above....Rocky 5 arguably one of the worst movies ever made.

    Any of the Blade sequels.

    Lethal Weapon sequels

    Superman sequels (Chris. Reeves)

    One of my favorite Sci-Fi movies MIMIC completely ruined by garbage sequels.

    Remake of Phsyco with Anne Heche always puzzled me. I mean WTF?

    The second Blair witch (though that had nothing to do with the original team)

    The second and third of the Matrix series.

    the first instalments of both were amongmy favourite movies of all time.

    A Nightmare on Elm Street 2-6, the original is an absolute classic. Same goes for Hellraiser, can't remember how many sequels there are but the original and the first sequel were amazing. Transporter - the first film was utter shite, so why bother with making a sequel?

    WHAT???!!!!!! I thought the first one was good!

    Oh, I just remembered, the Die Hard sequels... The first Die Hard was great... It was all formulas and gags after that.

    Blade 2 wasn't bad. Probably on a par with the first movie. Lethal Weapon 2 was brilliant fun. Likewise Superman 2.

    I watched The Assassin the other day on cable. Now that movie really did exemplify everything that is wrong with Hollywood remakes. The original was classy and sophisticated while the remake was gaudy, poorly acted and lazily directed.

    I think the worst sequels or remakes are those that fuck about with the legacy of the originals. With that in mind I don't think any movies did more to besmirch the brilliance of the original movies more than the Star Wars prequels. They essentially raped the trilogy. Much like Spielberg and Lucas then went on to rape Indiana Jones this year. Rape rape rapety rape.

    Yeah. Even Scorcese is doing it now. And winning an Oscar for it! Yeah, the American remakes of all those were weak. Pointless and weak. Even The Departed was pointless. It was just a flabbier, often shot for shot remake of the original and bereft of the tension.

    To be fair, there was probably one Hollywood remake which stands out as one of the all time greats - the remake of Kurusawa's Seven Samurai....The Magnificent Seven.

    I enjoyed the original Vacation, but then they came out with Christmas Vacation and then European Vacation. I think the word "PANTS" best describes these two crap flicks.

    Caddyshack 2 and Airplane II also come to mind.

    ^ looks like you beat me to it, Franny.
