Did I miss Alien3 in that list? Completely undoing the rewarding ending of Aliens?
-
That's the reason why I only believe that there are 2 Terminator Movies.
-
biggest proof that Hollywood is out of ideas...Terminator 3 came out, and they made THREE MORE TERMINATOR MOVIES
-
You forgot Emperor Palpatine survives in Rise of Skywalker
-
Friday the 13th part 6 is the best of the Friday sequels. He comes back like Frankenstein, flips an RV, twists a woman's head off, folds a cop in half backwards and horror legend Thom Matthews is superb as Tommy Jarvis. Plus you get a Ron "Horseshack" Pollilo (R.I.P.) , and Tony Goldwyn cameos at the beginning. What's not to love?
-
I don't know if I should be relieved or insulted that you left out the one that keeps coming up and I had totally expected to be #1 on the list - that is, "Alien 3".
-
After the emotional scene of Jacob having his memories wiped for his own protection in "Fantastic Beasts", he's able to remember everything magical by the sequel, undoing the powerful ending. Not to mention that Queenie straight up drugs him.
-
Jason was NOT killed by Tommy Jarvis "impaling him, with a fence post!" Tommy bisected his head with a machete, which he then fell onto, sliding all the way down the blade! GET IT STRAIGHT, WhatCulture!
-
Austin Powers should not be mentioned here. I NEVER look for plot points (or a plot at all) in screwball comedies.
-
HOW is Alien 3 not number 1 on this list?
Oh wait.... it's not on the list at all.... -
You forgot "It was all pointless" - Alien3 kills off all the survivors, most of them before the opening credits are even done. One of the worst direct sequels of all time, and an insult to those who loved Aliens.
-
But isn't Bond being out of shape and weary a sign of how injured and disenfranchised he was with M and MI6?
-
Your Friday the 13th entry was factually incorrect.
Jason dies after his machete through his head & Tommy hacking him up with it (that you showed).
He was dead.
Adult Tommy dug his corpse up to "make sure" he was dead, THEN impaled him with the fence post, and the lightning strike resurrected him, making him an unkillable zombie (as another commenter pointed out).
Tell me you never saw either movie without saying you never saw either movie... 🙄 -
Disagree with Terminator 3 being on this list simply because Terminator: Dark Fate exists. IF that is supposed to be a direct sequel to T2, then having John Connor killed off shortly after preventing Judgement Day totally undermines the entire point of T2.
-
sequels aren't hard to get right. Just don't forsake the original movie and don't go off the rails in an extreme way.
-
They aren't from another planet in the Director's Cut for Highlander II: the Quickening. They are time travelers, which isn't much better.
-
You forgot to mention the very important plot point, that in 'Friday the 13th A New Beginning', the sheriff says that Jason's body was cremated [with witnesses] which makes the opening sequence of part 6 even MORE stupid. And in 'Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me,' i always thought that the real Vanessa had been REPLACED by a fembot and that the REAL Vanessa was still being held captive. [Which one line of dialogue would have simply cleaned up the mess.

Whenever someone asks, "Why don't/didn't they--" the answer is almost always "Money." - Robert Anson Heinlein
-
The whole Disney sequel trilogy to the original Star Wars trilogy should be included here. What happened in that made almost everything Luke, Leia, and Han achieved in the OT mostly meaningless.
-
Vanessa being a Fembot didn't ruin the original film's ending, it made it's parody of James Bond even more hilarious.
