Baffling sequels

Grease 2
Godfather 3
Home alone has about five movies
Jaws the revenge
Battle for the planet of the apes
Breakin 2: electric boogaloo (though the name is awesome)

 

Another 48 Hours?

 

When does Deadspin put out a sequel to its Super Bowl commercial?

 

What do you recommend as the next scene? That first one was nowhere close to becoming a money shot.

 

Fletch Lives is one of only maybe three movies I started to watch and shut off before it was over. So yeah, I agree.

 

Ball-gag, and she fumbles at the goal line.

 

Wouldn't this fall under the "made money" category?

 

Yeah, I guess. The second and third books were pretty bad, too.

 

Superman III and IV (Get drunk in one, try to get rid of nukes in another, fail in both)

Karate Kid III (Just fought for your life, now you fight for another trophy because some millionaire can't tell his buddy to sack up)

Rocky V (A streetfight?)

The Next Karate Kid (but this time, the kid has a vagina!)

 

Back to the OP of this thread, "Eddie and the Cruisers II" is actually IMO about as good/interesting as the original.

That's not a very lofty level to clear, but I'll watch EATC II off and on if it's on cable.

The premise of the original basically is, "what if Springsteen came along 10 years earlier, recorded 'Born to Run," and then vanished?"

The sequel is kinda more like "what if Buddy Holly faked his death, lived in obscurity for 25 years, then reappeared?"

On. "Godfather III," there was most certainly a reason to make it: the groundwork had been laid at the end of GF II -- but it sure as hell wasn't the movie Puzo/Copolla ended up making.
