Sequels that you didn't even know existed

[rice4kidsinasia]

I was looking at that best buy ad for this week and noticed Wild Things 2...I can't believe there's even a sequel let alone make someone pay more than $5.50 for it.

[TheDude]

The Skulls 3 (saw at BB the other day). I turned to my wife and said "When the hell did they make #2?"

[Brain Stew]

I was surprised when I heard about the sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show a while ago; I think it's called Shock Treatment.

[jeffkjoe]

I heard somewhere they actually made a sequel to ROCKY.

[BBEANLPHIE]

Lawnmower man 2.

[Groucho]

I lot of people are surprised that there's a More American Graffiti, even big fans of the film.

I was surprised when I heard about the sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show a while ago; I think it's called Shock Treatment.
When I first saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show as apart of VH1's 20th Anniversary of the film in 1995, one of the people they interviewed who were at the "celebration" dressed up like one of the characters from Shock Treatment. From that on, I knew I had to find a copy of the film.

I never found a copy of the film until 1998 when I saw a copy at Suncoast on VHS, and of course I bought it.

Then I bought the soundtrack weeks later at Virgin Megastore.

[RyoHazuki]

I didn't know about the other movies about the kid from Christmas Story.

[EvilConradBain]

I noticed Cuel Intention 2 and American Psycho 2 at Best Buy no desire to buy though.

[cruzness]

Cruel Intentions 2 and The Skulls 3

[cliffzig]

American Psycho 2 was surprisingly good IMHO

[GuessWho]

If I don't know something exists, I can't post about it.....

I remember the ads for this movie. It was released to theaters.

I never knew there were two Ralphie Parker movies made in the 1970s and 80s (Made for TV movies) until I looked on the IMDB (I knew there were two movies made after A Christmas Story).

[Mike]

Anyone ever see the sequel to "The Jerk"?

[Giantrobo]

Bells on their Feet...sequel to Cheaper By the Dozen(50's)

The HELLRAISER movies after BLOODLINES

Sniper 3 is filming right now. As is Vampires 3 (not to be confused with Vampires 2 with Jon Bon Jovi)

[nemein]

Do you have anything on Sniper 3 (I actually kind of liked the first 2, nothing great but enjoyable). I checked IMDB but didn't see anything on it...

"Return of the King" (third LOTR movie).

WTF? :hscratch:

[scott1598]

there was a 3rd "From Dusk Till Dawn". Don't know the name though or what it's about..but have a feeling it was about vampires and it wasn't too good.

Actually, it was a made for tv, think they hoped to turn into a series.

From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter wasn't too good, although compared to the second one, it was a virtual masterpiece. The most notable aspect of the film is that Michael Parks gives a great performance as Ambrose Bierce.

[LasVegasMichael]

Omen IV

It was Made for TV, and is only available when you buy the boxed set of the franchise on DVD (bargain srt anyway).

Not that bad of a film, with a girl in the role.

[matome]

Stepfather 3

Dracula II: Ascension (sequel to Dracula 2000)

:lol: I read this and started thinking about Jay talking about people eating his shit. I love that movie!

"All you ************s are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna **** your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax ****s who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you mother****s are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob."

[Giantrobo]

<b>"Vampires: Los Muertos "</b> starring Jon "living on a prayer" Bon-Jovi sequel to the great Jon Carpenter flick <b>"Vampires"</b> starring James Woods.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Ripley's Game.

Straight to DVD.

[Jericho]

I'll never really understand the appeal of making endless sequels to mediocre movies that no one saw (i.e. The Substitute, From Dusk til Dawn, The Skulls, Turbulence, etc...)

I'm not saying all those movies listed above suck, but they take the brand name, change all (or virtually all) of the people and put out a direct to video movie. Why? Will that really sell more than the average non-brand name movie?

[iggystar]

That reminds me of when I worked at a BBV about 8 years ago. I was new and someone asked me to point out Children of the Corn IV. I very condescendingly told that person there was no such movie, there was only one sequel to Children of the Corn and sent them on their way! :) Not realizing the whole straight-to-video sequel market that's all the rage. I remember stocking movies like Witchcraft VII and wondering when did Witchcraft I come out on the big screen?

What about Inspector Gadget II? Horrible sequel to tepid big screen release, my kid loves it.

[Tarantino]

There was Turbulance 2 and 3...

Jack Frost 2 - Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman

true, ripley's game is a remake of a movie that cameout in 1977. so not really a sequal.

i didnt know there was a sequal to the jerk.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0087499/

starred mark blankfield. who was on fridays and was pretty funny.
think the blind guy in robin hood men in tights.

oddly enough he was in another sequali bet no one new existed.

Just like someone posted above, I too will never really understand all these sequels to movies no one saw in the first place.

I know sequels are big business in the mainstream Hollywood market, but those movies (Spiderman 2 and Zorro 2) are sequels to films that were actually hugely popular and made money.

What exactly is the rationale behind making various sequels to movies like "The Skulls" and "Bring It On" ? So maybe "The Skulls" made it's budget plus a small profit, but so does virtually every film out there eventually. Why would producers sit there and say, gee "I wanna spend 15 million on a sequel to a movie nobody liked in the first place." You mine as well be throwing the money away, because the only chance it has at being rented is if its the last thing on the shelf on a Friday night at Blockbuster. Maybe television rights? I don't know.

to the best of my knowledge, the distribution company makes their money by selling the dvd/vhs to the video store, not on rentals. i'm sure some of the budget is secured providing a home video distribution deal is already in place.

[Original Desmond]

there's also a Cannibal Holocaust 2

[AGuyNamedMike]

BTW, Starship Troopers 2 is premiering on the Action Channel Saturday, April 24, 10pm est/pst...

[Bandit03]

Leprechaun: Back in Da Hood was a pretty shocking sequel. I almost died of laughter when I saw this on the shelf. Have yet to see it though, I think I will wait til it premieres on Sci-Fi

[Doughboy]

Someone told me there were 2 more Alien movies after the 2nd one, but I refuse to believe it. I'm still trying to figure out why the box set I have is called the "Alien Quadrilogy". Aren't there only 2 of them? :)

Isn't Corman's company responsible for all this direct to video shit?

[Rockmjd23]

some made for tv sequels that u may not know...It Came From outer space II(1996, some 43 years after the original), and Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus (1996)

Mimic: Sentinel (aka Mimic 3) was the first movie that came to mind when I saw this thread.

[Chad]

Just saw 100 Women (aka Girl Fever) on HBO, and apparently it's a sequel to 100 Girls ...directed by the same person and it's virtually the same movie again.

[fryinpan1]

I recently found out there was a sequel to the Wizard of Oz - Return to Oz (1985).

[spoon81]

Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat (2002)

From the same director (Herschell Gordon Lewis) that did the 1963 original classic.

Leprechaun

According to IMDB, they are up to #6 (Back 2 tha Hood)!!

And Birds 2 was a good call.

That's actually an awesome movie. I haven't read them, but I've heard it's much more in tune with the books.

[Matthew Chmiel]

I like the music better (I love Rocky Horror's soundtrack, but Shock Treatment outdoes it), but I still think the film is way ahead of it's time. If the film didn't get it's budget cut due to the impending SAG strike at the time, the film could've been pulled off in spades.

Now why do I believe the film is ahead of it's time? Look at the film and it's parodying of television by showing Brad and Janet's problems in front of a live studio audience (basically the entire town of Denton) with manipulation from the people "involved" with the show that they're on.

Now look at reality television today.

Richard O'Brien is one smart ****er. :)

Yeah, while I enjoy 100 Women, the film is really not a sequel to 100 Girls. Sure it contains the same exact crew that 100 Girls had and the same exact storyline, but so did Michael Davis' first teen-sex comedy Eight Days a Week. Hell, it's a ****in' trilogy right there of guys wanting to get the girl of their dreams. :)

100 Girls had heart and didn't rely on gross-out humor (but the dialog was quite explicit).

100 Women lacks heart and goes out to include gross-out humor (yet the dialog is nowhere near as explicit).

I love 100 Girls, moderatly like 100 Women, but 100 Women contains a brilliant exchange of dialog in one scene.

"It's a finger puzzle. The more I try and pull to get out, the more stuck I become."
"Yeah, the same thing happened to me before. Just that it wasn't with a finger puzzle and was with an Asian chick."

Maybe the idea is good, but the outcome is ****. Even with the killer soundtrack, it's hard to watch. Although with scenes like Shock Treatment (A way better version of this song is on the soundtrack), the good night song, and Thank God I'm a Man...it could have been really good.

Psycho II
Psycho III
Psycho IV: The Beginning...

Also, I can't believe they made a sequel to Splash! God, why? And with Amy Yasbeck too.

Neither are remakes, they're just based on the same books. "Ripley's Game", however is a sequel as a book.

This came on Starz last week. It was extemely painful to watch it, but I couldn't look away. Say what you want about the boneheads that run network TV, but at least they didn't commit this pilot to a full series.

If anyone is curious about this steaming load, it'll be on Starz Family on 4/30 (2:15 pm) and 5/1 (7:15 am).

Not even close. And they only had 2 (extremely pathetic) "commercials in the film as well, with a different narrator. It is only 1:20, which adds to the low production sci-fi channel tv show feel, in fact I would not be surprised to see this airing 5 times a day on Sci-Fi chalnnel very soon.
