Do you buy all the sequels to the original DVD movie?

[dvd-4-life]

I have avoided Highlander 3 and Halloween 6.

[ianholm]

I skipped Halloween 3

[Dean Kousoulas]

I'm skipping Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X

Also skipped Men in Black II, the Scream sequels and the NoES sequels,

[Tscott]

Off the top of my head I have Tremors, The Matrix and Die Hard, but none of the sequels. I'm sure I've got more examples if I thought about it hard enough. So no.

[lisadoris]

Nope - there are no Beverly Hills Cop, Highlander (except for Engame), Jaws, Major League, Robocop, Speed, Tremors, or direct to video Disney sequels in my collection.

[LasVegasMichael]

In very general terms, I consider myself a completist (especially when taling about TV on DVD season sets), but there are a few films I intentionally skipped:

Halloween 3 (for obvious reasons to anyone who saw it)
Jaws 3 & 4
Return to Oz

[fumanstan]

No Batman Forever or Batman & Robin

[mike45]

Depends on the sequel. But, the majority of the time never.

[Ginwen]

I hardly ever buy the sequel (although some of the worst movies I own, like Candyman 3, I only own because they're sequels).

[nemein]

Only when they come in sets and I have no choice (Alien 4 for example). When they are available individually I buy which ever ones I'm interested in.

[Dead Star]

I actually bought Terminator 3, so I guess I do, yeah.

[dvd-4-life]

Did anyone skip buying Childs Play(FF) because its not OAR but bought all the sequels?I bought Childs Play(R4).The same situation exists for Hellraiser 3 even though its now available in R2 in its proper OAR.

[Maxflier]

I have Speed (one of my favorite movies) but not Speed 2 since it pretty much sucked.

[cactusoly]

I didn't get any of the Child's Play DVDs because the first one is PS. I hope that it will be rereleased in WS because of Seed of Chucky, then I'll pick up the whole series

[littlefuzzy]

I like to pick up the sequels, if I liked the first movie, I want to see what happens next. Granted, many of the sequels aren't quite as good, but then there are the ones that are even better.

Of course, this doesn't include Disney sequels... I refuse to buy any of those.

Of the titles mentioned so far in this thread, I own or plan to purchase the following series:
Alien(s)
Batman
Beverly Hills Cop
Die Hard
Friday the 13th
Halloween
Hellraiser
Highlander
Major League
The Matrix
Men in Black
Nightmare on Elm Street
Robocop
Scream
Terminator
Tremors
Wizard of Oz

[Jackskeleton]

nope, I only buy the films I actually like. there are some sequels that just sucked.

Exactly, totally agree.

for example i loved the first lethal weapon yawned thru the second (so i don't own it) but loved the third version so i own that one, no need to mention the fourth total garbage.

[asianxcore]

have been avoiding:

Jaws 2/3
Halloween 3-Ressurection?
Nightmare on Elm Street (all but #3)

[calhoun07]

Only a few sequels are of acutal any worth. The list of what I won't buy is probably longer than what I would buy, but I don't feel the need to own bad sequels just to feel like I have a complet collection or anything like that.

[mzupeman2]

Well, it's yes and no. I mean, there's some stuff I have purchased the sequals to simply because they were in a box set at a decent price, such as the Batman and Scream boxed sets. I haven't purchased any sequals to Jaws since I find them to be complete garbage, yet I've purchased the sequals to the 'Scary Movie' films simply because I had not seen them in the theater. Halloween 3 doesn't count in my book as one of the 'Halloween' films, the entire series is focused on Michael Myers and I personally thought Halloween 3 sucked as it was anyways. Hated Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X, but I cared enough about the series to complete it in my collection. I won't purchase Disney straight to home video sequals, unless it's the Aladdin or Lion King ones. So, it all really depends on what I value enough to consider getting the sequals for. In a lot of cases I just go for it because of the great value, or because I haven't seen them... or hell, just to complete a collection if I care enough. But other times I don't consider things to be important enough to continue on.

[SunMonkey]

I only have Star Trek 1, 2, and all the NG entries (some of which are painfully bad). I also only have MI:2. Those are the only series I cherry picked (although I will be getting Spiderman 2 w/out the first).

I have many first entries into a series with none of the sequels.

[toccoa_winters]

im not a completist so no. why would i waste my money on a movie i dont like and probably would never watch when there are so many other things i want.

[marioxb]

Yeah, I have to buy them all. As a matter of fact, sometimes I won't buy any of the movies in a series because then it would mean I "gotta catch 'em all". I'm probably way in the minority when I say I liked Mission: Impossible 2, Die Hard 3, Lethal Weapon 4 and Vegas Vacation best out of their series'.

[Dabaomb]

I used to but not anymore. I mean, c'mon Jaws 4: The Revenge :hscratch:

[D-Ball]

I only get the ones I like. I'll even sell the ones that I don't like out of a box set such as Superman IV and Rocky V. And I would get rid of Friday the 13th Part 5 from the new boxset if Part 6 wasn't on the same disc.

[SunMonkey]

I like MI:2 much better than the first, too. :up:

[Scott716]

It seems like I often get the first 2 then the rest I can't stomach...I thought Jaws 1 & 2 were decent(because of Roy Scheider) so picked both up, Tremors 1 & 2(like Fred Ward, 2 is actually good as well). Halloween 1, 2 & 3..1 and 2 are a continuing plot so felt the need to pick both up..and thought 3 was actually better then anything after it. In a b-movie kind of way it's a appealing for trying to be different.

[zwuncki]

mostly: No

i even sold mission impossible 2 and batman&robin, which i had in a box!! because they are so incredible dumb and stupid movies that i just had to.

i have a few movies just so i have it complete (also some tvshows), but that's really just a few, no need to mention :D

[QuiGonJosh]

I own Species II...what does this tell you?

Complete series I own:

James Bond
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Matrix
Species (Though I won't get Species 3...I will not buy DTV)
Mummy
Lone Wolf and Cub
Romero's Dead Trilogy
Man with No Name
Hannibal Lecter
Robocop
Star Trek (I-VII 2 Disc SE's...I'm waiting for SE's of the rest, but I will buy them)
Superman
Terminator
X-Men

[steebo777]

I buy what I want, not what will complete a collection.

[MJKTool]

Thanks to Blockbuster I'm getting rid of some of these shitty sequals I have for some reason :up:

[The Exister]

No T2 or T3 for me!

[nightmaster]

I tend to but by no means always.
No Beverly Hills Cop III, Jaws III and IV, no denizens of Friday the 13th nor Nightmare On Elm Street, no Halloween sequels. No Arthur 2, no Superman III and IV, If it's a character I like I want to like the sequel and sometimes I do, but in these cases the sequel was drivel.
I'll be the first to admit that I can be overly forgiving when it comes to crummy movies, but even I can't handle some of this stuff. I mean, c'mon, sequels to remakes? I don't think I own one direct to video sequel, of which there are many.

[Snowmaker]

Actually just the opposite for me. I have Leonard, Part 6, but not the first 5. :D

Seriously, I only have the first: Godfather (which I still have not watched EVER), Robocop, Alien and Aliens only, Highlander, and I guess that's it for the bigger ones.

[TheKing]

I complete most film series, but not always.

I own Blair Witch 1 because I got it free, but I'll never add Blair Witch 2 since I hate the first one.

Sequels I don't own yet:

Blues Brothers 2000
Crocodile Dundee 2 & 3
Jaws 3 & 4
Hannibal & Red Dragon (Do own Manhunter)
More American Graffiti
Predator 2 (Will buy the SE)
Star Trek 8-10 (Will buy the SE's)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 & 4
Wild Things 2
Species 2 & 3
Return Of The Killer Tomatoes

Sequels I'd buy if they were made available on DVD:
Porky's Revenge
My Summer Story (sort of sequel to A Christmas Story)
Planet Of The Apes 2-5 (SE Versions)
History Of The World Part II (heh)

[visitor Q]

Yes and no

I finished:

Terminator
Matrix
Fletch
Alien
Jurassic Park
Die Hard
Predator
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars

I did not nor will I ever finish:

Jaws
Rocky
Men in Black
American Pie

[Mike Lowrey]

No offense to anyone, but I'm seeing a pattern here...most of you who say that you don't buy all the sequals usually mention horror series, such a Friday the 13th and Halloween. I can see why you wouldn't want to own all of them...I can't imagine why you'd want to own any of them, but that's besides the point. :D I rank those kinds of movies up there with American Pie and Austin Powers. In other words...those movies are just too silly for me.

Now then, for myself, I've always been a completist even back to the VHS days. In fact, one of the reasons why I bought my first DVD player is because of The Mummy Returns.

I own or will be collecting the entire series of:
Alien quadrilogy
Civil War Trilogy (Gods & Generals, Gettysburg)
Bad Boys
Blade trilogy
Crow trilogy
Die Hard trilogy
El Mariachi trilogy
Fast & Furious
Highlander (is Highlander 3 anamorphic?)
Indiana Jones
Jack Ryan series
Jurassic Park
Lethal Weapon
Lonesome Dove
Lord of the Rings
Matrix
Mummy
Predator
Rambo
Resident Evil
Robocop (including Prime Directives mini-series)
Sniper
Spider-Man
Star Trek (I-VII CEs)
Star Wars
Terminator
Tomb Raider
X-Men

As you can see...no horror, whatsoever...how many stupid teen-agers do you have to see killed before you say, "Enough, already!!!"

[Ginwen]

This thread inspired me to get rid of Candyman 3, The Rage: Carrie 2 and Queen of the Damned (not exactly a sequel but only purchased due to being part of the series). So thanks!

Ahh, I rest my case....

[DonnachaOne]

Now Exorcist 2 here, and unless Paul Shrader can work miracles, there'll be no Exorcist 4...

[ClownFace666]

Mike Lowrey,

Ha Ha.

You should really take a good look at your collection before judging others. Because from what I can see, you own your own share of crap.

XXX, 2Fast2Furious, Robocop 3 among others. A collection devoted to Steven Segal? They were all mostly critical turkeys.

To each his own, but please dude. You have got to be kidding.

Halloween is silly, but Robocop 3 isnt? The film that had Robocop flying by jetpack and that theatrically destroyed the series?

Reviews:

Halloween: 100% Fresh

Robocop 3: 6% Rotten

Like I said, to each his own. But, before you start downing what others like, you should really take a nice, long look at what you like as well.

[DonnachaOne]

Clownface... it's his opinion, and has to do with the topic at hand. Maybe he has R3 because it's part of the Robocop SE set?

If you want to just criticize his collection or backward uber-conservative, xenophobic beliefs :D, well... that's what e-mail's for.

[Purrcey]

Generally speaking, no I don't buy sequels to complete a set unless I really like them

However I do have some box sets (and all the LOTR) where enough of the films were good enough IMHO to justify buying the whole set. My hubby's a huge film of silents so we have both the Douglas Fairbanks & both Chaplin box sets.

I don't have complete sets for
- The Matrix (just the first one)
- Die Hard (just the first one)
- Alien (just number 2 Aliens)
- Babe (just the first one)
- Buffy The Vampire Slayer-, we hated season 7 and season 6 wasn't very good either

I noticed "sequel-litous' seems to be more common with action films..

I do however have both Bill & Ted's movies :<...they belong to our daughter...

[ClownFace666]

DonnachaOne,

He was already criticizing collections before this by insulting others choices.

And my point also has to do with the topic.

Like I said to each his own. But, dont go insulting others taste if you cant take it back.

As for me. I only buy movies I like. If I hate a sequel, I dont buy it. Completion is a waste of money. It's why I still have it.

[GMLSKIS]

Originally posted by fumanstan

That's funny because those are the 2 I have and like, I can't stand the other 2.

I have both MIB
I have all the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and James Bond movies.
I have all the Die Hards and both Toy Storys

I'm missing the original Terminator but have and love the last 2.

[DonnachaOne]

Unlike GMLSKIS, I loathe the last Terminator... so I don't have that either.

GMLSKIS:

Likes the last two Batman movies.
Like fullscreen.

He's like the bizarro DVDTalker... :D

Resident Evil could be considered horror. It's a zombie film (although a poor one).

How many dumb action movies can you watch before you "Enough already!"?

[rich-y]

No way!

I skipped Starship Troopers 2 based only on the horrible reviews I read. And I think I'm better off for it!!

[mxv]

I will only buy the sequels if I like them enough to warrant owning them, regardless of how high of a regard I hold the first film. Some examples of sequels that you couldn't pay me to own:

Halloween 3
the 2nd and 3rd Crow movies.
Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X (two steamy piles)
the last few Batman movies
Escape from LA

And I'm sure there are more. As much as I'm a completist when it comes to collecting records, a bad movie to me seems to rule out my need for completion (much to the delight of my wallet).

[WingKongExpress]

3 is better than 2 and 4 but it is still not worth buying. The only series that I have all of are Tremors and Harry Potter that is because I enjoy them. Oops, I forgot Indy, but that wasn't by choice.

Single movies in a series I have and don't plan on buy more

Jurassic Park
Jaws
Die Hard
Alien
Halloween
Escape From New York
Scream

[CaptGideon]

I'll usually skip sequels if I don't think they're worth owning. Off the top of my head, I don't have the sequels to Men in Black, A Better Tomorrow, and Austin Powers. I don't plan on picking up Spider-Man 2 either.

But sometimes my completist gene kicks in for longer series. For example, I bought the Star Trek V special edition.

The other way a bad sequel might end up in my collection is via a boxed set, such Superman IV.

Me too. And I won't get rid of it. I'm not usually a completest, but I hate having a hole right in the middle of a series of movies.

[Ginwen]

Originally posted by Mike Lowrey

[wolverine1028]

It depends on the titles but I have mostly bought sequels so I have a "complete" set, even for some titles I am not crazy about (ie, Matrix). I guess I am a sucker for sequels.

[Richard Malloy]

Hardly ever, though I'm differentiating trilogies like Lord of the Rings, Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy, Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy, von Trier's Golden Heart Trilogy, etc. I suspect something like the second two films in the Star Wars OT might count as sequels... I've got those.

Otherwise, the only sequels I own: Evil Dead II, Dawn of the Dead. I'll get Godfather II when it's released.

I didn't say that what I had *wasn't* crap, I'm just saying that a lot of people have large collections of horror series of which most IMO consist of mindless teen-agers running from axe-weilding mass murderers. Talk about repititious.

XXX, 2Fast2Furious, Robocop 3 among others. A collection devoted to Steven Segal? They were all mostly critical turkeys.

What? Belly of the Beast wasn't an award winner??? :D Besides, I've always had a soft-spot for Seagal, in-shape or not. Hey, at least I don't have a collection of JCVD movies. Just wait till I start my collection of Stallone flicks. ;)

To each his own, but please dude. You have got to be kidding.

Yeah, I am...sort of.

Halloween is silly, but Robocop 3 isnt? The film that had Robocop flying by jetpack and that theatrically destroyed the series?

I actually own the Robocop Trilogy, but split them up in the listing individually. But quite frankly, I find the whole Robocop film franchise silly for an entirely different reason...they're overly paranoid outlook on corporations.

Reviews:

Halloween: 100% Fresh

Robocop 3: 6% Rotten

Halloween, fresh? That's not the word I'd use.

Like I said, to each his own. But, before you start downing what others like, you should really take a nice, long look at what you like as well.

Hey, I admit, I generally like mainstream titles, but I just find that titles that like say, Criterion, typically does, I have absolutely zero interest in.

Hey man, can't get enough of them 'splosions!

[matome]

No Jaws sequels

Exorcist 1 & 3: no 2
Stepfather: 1 & 2 (no Terry O'Quinn, no sale)
Candyman 1 & 2 only

[Red Dog]

Heck no.

Bond: own 11/20
Star Trek: don't own V
Lethal Weapon: don't own III or IV
Superman: don't own III or IV
Batman: don't own Batman Returns nor Batman & Robin
Airplane: only own original
Naked Gun: only own original
Alien: only own the first 2

These are just the examples off the top of my head.

[Pressplay]

I'll NEVER buy the 2 Matrix sequels, they pretty much ruined the first movie for me. I've been trying to forget about them ever since, so that one day I'll be able to enjoy the original in the same way again. (sigh)

[Fok]

For most I do, but they're the one that usually only have 2-3 sequels.

[aintnosin]

Matrix: Just the first.
Die Hard: Just the first.
Lethal Weapon: 1 & 2 only.
Star Trek: Will probably not get Insurrection.
Star Wars: Probably will.
Jack Ryan movies: Not unless, like me, you don't consider that Ben Affleck abomination to be a real Jack Ryan movie.

And I only have Branaugh's Henry V. I haven't been able to find the first four.

Sorry. Old joke, I know....

[Legolas]

I had U.S. Marshals to go along with The Fugitive, but have since gotten rid of it. I never got Men In Black II, Under Siege 2 and will definitely not be buying Wild Things 2 or 3. Won't get Blade II or III either.

[deadpool24]

right now i have blade 1/2, robocop trilogy, back to the future trilogy, spiderman 1/2, ghostbusters set, noes boxset. some i skipped the first movie like exorcist 3, return to oz.

[james2025a]

I guess it all depends on the movies. I bought the first 2 highlander movies, but gave the rest a miss. I still think that Highlander 2 is better than people make it out to be. I also did get Halloween 3 and that along with the original Halloween are the only ones i have from that series. The rest are terrible. I actually liked Halloween 3 because it was so different from the normal films and i liked the idea behind it. I wish they had gone along with the original idea of realeasing the Halloween films as completey different stories once a year as was first intended instead of having to put up with the endless Michael Myer films.

I have gotten to sequels to films that have been difficult for me to purchase. Probably the most notable are the Matrix sequels which i found to be pretty pretentious.....but i felt like i should get them for what they were. I am also a sucker for comic book movies, so any release of those i tend to buy...with the exception of shit like Man Thing and Swamp Thing. So unfortunately i will be getting the Batman Box set next month. The only truly great Batman film made was Batman Begins. But i quite liked the Burton films and even ddn't mind Batman Forever. But B and R just sucks.

[cbtaber]

I used to be a completist. I have a minor case of OCD, and use to feel the need to own the Ultimate edition of every movie and all of it's sequels. But thanks to Miramax and Universal I think I'm cured. Many of the DTV sequels are so bad that I wouldn't pick them up for free...but I will at least watch them. I loved the Crow, The Crow 2 was good to look at, The Crow three is a mess, and The Crow: Wicked Prayer is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. So I will never completely own that series.

I own all of the From Dusk til Dawn movies even though 2 is pretty bad, but 3 is good.

Universal will effectively kill off the American Pie Franchise with American Pie: Band Camp when it hits video in December. There is nothing to suggest that movie will be any good.

Anyone seen Carlito's Way: Rise to Power to further this argument?

[darkhawk]

Only have Nightmare on Elm Street 1. Don't care about the rest.

[cajun_junky]

I usually do buy the sequels since I am a completist. But as others have mentioned...there are a few I skip on.

[critterdvd]

I like halloween 6 and the rage: carrie 2.... :(

[joltman]

I'm somewhat of a completist, but not as much anymore since I have something else that's gonna be eating the money out of my wallet (a baby :))
Anyway, I bought the whole Nightmare on Elm St collection, I got the Leprechaun collection and blind-bought Leprechaun Back to the Hood for completism. I've had Bride of Chucky for awhile, and then got Seed of Chucky, and I just recently got the others for completism. Then there's stuff like From Dusk Til Dawn where I have 2 and 3 on video and am waiting for special editions (a long wait for those probably, and if I didn't have the first one already, I probably would have gotten the set at some point)
One interesting one that goes the other way for me is that I have Blair Witch 2 but not the first one. The first one didn't do anything for me, but I really like the second one.

[Mr. Cinema]

I have these franchises complete:

Indiana Jones
Amityville Horror (box set)
Matrix
Terminator
Jurassic Park
Nightmare on Elm Street (box set)
Scream (box set)
Charlie's Angels
Bad Boys
Bourne movies
Jeepers Creepers
Tomb Raider
LOTR
Mission: Impossible
Shrek
Star Wars
X-Men
Rush Hour
Kill Bill

I will own these complete:

Friday the 13th
Alien series
Austin Powers
Blade
Lethal Weapon
Star Trek

Probably not:

Batman (I don't think I can make myself purchase Batman & Robin)

[MovieExchange]

Let's see...

Matrix - only the original. I will never own the other two unless someone gives them to me, and even then I'd probably put them up for sale in my store rather than have them pollute my shelf.

Highlander - I currently have 1, 2 and 4. I'm not a big fan of 2, but I don't hate it either. I really liked 4. I won't go out of my way to get 3, but if it were given to me or I needed one more for a B2G1F deal and that was the only title available, I'd take it.

Jaws - I have the first one, that's all I need.

Halloween - I have no plans to get part 3. There's a few others I don't have, but I'll get them eventually.

Lion King - I have 1 and 1/1/2, didn't bother with part 2.

Hellraiser - I have 1 and 2, might get 3. Don't care for the rest.

Other movies series that I only have the first one of, and no plans for any more:
Aladdin
Blair Witch
Blues Brothers
Predator
The Crow
Escape From New York

Major League

[AllHallowsEve]

I skip alot. There is too much I want to own to buy things I dont care for and wont watch.

Here are several I didnt buy and dont intend to:

Jason Goes to Hell
Jason X
No Amityville's after Number 2
Any Hellraiser after number 2 (I liked number 3 as a kid, but watching it now I realize this is where the downfall of this series began)
Most of the later Elm Streets
Half the Halloween's including ressurrection (the worst yet)
Scream 3
Jaws 4
Freddy vs Jason
Rocky 5
Beverly Hills Cop 3
Robocop 3
Seed of Chucky (one of the worst movies ever)
Cinderella 2 and the majority of other DTV Disney sequels

There are many other examples.

[L Chabert Lover]

I usually buy most of the sequels, if they're good that is.

A few horror examples

A Nightmare on Elm Street - I have the 8-Disc Box Set Collection and Freddy vs Jason. For me, parts 2 and 5 are the weakest, but I'm glad I have them all because I can't say any of them are 100% shit.

Friday the 13th - I've got the Part 1-8 Box Set, Jason Goes To Hell, and Freddy vs Jason. Parts 1-6 are my absolute favorites. The quality really started to drop with part 7 and just continued going downhill with each sequel. Parts 7-9 are bad, no question, but they're nowhere near the uber shit stink of Jason X. Jason X is a disgrace. Jason looked uber retarded. What was with that el-cheapo hockey mask? Why did he have a full head of hair? Jason is supposed to be bald. Why wasn't he rotted/rotten? Yeah, I've heard that whole "regeneration" bunk, but I still smell bullshit. And then, at the very end, he turns into RoboJason. :rolleyes:

Halloween - I've got all of them except # 3. No Michael Myers, no sale. And to all that disagree....Would you like to see an Elm Street film without Freddy Krueger too?

Jaws - I've got 1 and 2. 3 and 4 are shit.

Exorcist - I've got 1 (both editions) and 3. Part 2 is awful. No suspense at all. Part 4, I don't care to see regardless of which cut it is. Both cuts sound shitty.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre - I've got the 1974 original and the 2003 remake. Tobe Hooper's film will always be tops with me by a long shot, but I love the remake too. I also have a fondness for part 2, but I don't own that one at the moment. I have no intentions of ever owning parts 3 and 4. Awful, horrible films.

Psycho - I've got Hitchcock's film as well as parts 2 and 3. I would own part 4 if Universal would ever release it on DVD. Psycho '98 and Bates Motel can both rot. No Anthony Perkins, no sale.

Amityville Horror - I own the 4-Disc Box Set with parts 1-3. Part 2 is my favorite. Damn, that film is creepy. Part 1 is kind of mediocre, but it does have some suspenseful scenes. Part 3 is pretty bland, much more so than the original, but it was part of the set so what the hell. I seriously doubt I would have bought it individually. I have no desire to see parts 4-whatever. I loved the 2005 remake of the 1979 original. This is one of the extreme rare times where I think the remake is better than the original. It's much more suspenseful and not quite as slow as the original. And isn't Melissa George gorgeous?

Scream - Got the 4-Disc Box Set with parts 1-3. All are good.

I Know What You Did Last Summer - Got 'em both. I love Jennifer Love Hewitt. First one's excellent. Second one takes a dip, but is still enjoyable.

Blair Witch Project - I have the awesome original. Don't want that piece of crap part 2.

[gutwrencher]

I'll complete the sequel series if they don't suck. Like why would I buy Howling 2? It's pure garbage.

It all depends man....it all depends. I may buy a few milkduds if I really want to complete a directors work. Take Argento...I do own Phantom of the Opera....but it sucks less than Howling 2.:D

I just have to own all Argento, Fulci and Bava...even though they all have their share of crapola.

[ShallowHal]

Not always, it depends on the movie. American Pie 1 & 2 are good, A. Wedding isn't something I need to own. I skipped Dumb & Dumberer, Miss Congeniality 2, Matrix II/III, Species III, The Skulls II/III, Speed 2, NIMH 2, Wayne's World 2. I only have the first Scream, but all three Scary Movies. :lol: I've seen Shrek II enough on HBO to not miss it.

I have both Bournes, Riddicks, Rush Hours, Fast/Furious, Grumpy/ier Old Men, Legally Blondes, Meet The Parents/Fockers, MIBs, Mission Impossibles, Blade I-III, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set (3). Someone left both Agent Cody Banks here, too.. :lies:

If it's anything like the first, I know I'll buy Underworld: Evolution when it comes out. Kate's new boobies will be in it! :eyebrow:

[DVDChris]

I just thought of another series that I didn't see mentioned. I love the first Cannonball Run and bought the sequel just to be complete. Man the second one is a pile of crap. The first one had so many fun laughs and I thoroughly enjoy it every time I watch it. Even the outtakes during the credits never get old. The second one was just horrible.

[SINGLE104]

Of the titles mentioned so far in this thread, I own or plan to purchase the following series:

Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz does not have a sequel. There are other versions from the original movie, but are not continuations.

[Linko]

I pretty much have to get the sequels if they feature the same characters played by the same actors. A movie like Speed 2 doesn't count because it was completely different and it sucked. In all but just a few cases I enjoy the sequels almost as much as the original but I did buy RoboCop 3, Godfather 3, and I plan to get Matrix Revolutions just for the sake of being sequels.

I have:
48 Hrs./Another 48 Hrs.
Ace Ventura 1 and 2
American Pie Trilogy
Analyze This/Analyze That
Austin Powers Trilogy
Back to the Future Trilogy
Bad Boys 1 and 2
Batman/Batman Returns/Batman Forever/Batman and Robin
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Blade Trilogy
Bourne Identity/Bourne Supremacy
City Slickers 1 and 2
Conan the Barbarian/Conan the Destroyer
Death Wish 1-5 (1st was the only good one but they were cheap)
Die Hard Trilogy
Escape from New York/Escape from L.A.
Evil Dead Trilogy
Final Destination 1 and 2
George A. Romero's Dead Series (don't have Land yet)
Godfather Trilogy
Ghostbusters 1 and 2
Gremlins 1 and 2
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Jack Ryan series (all 4)
Jurassic Park Trilogy
Karate Kid 1-4
Lethal Weapon 1-4

Under Siege 1 and 2
Whole Nine Yards/Whole Ten Yards
X-Men 1 and 2

Not complete but plan to complete:
The Addams Family but don't have Addams Family Values yet
Crocodile Dundee, but I don't have 2 or 3 yet.
Jaws 1, 2 and 4 - just haven't found Jaws 3 yet
Halloween 1 and 2 - might get the rest if they're cheap enough

I'd like to get all 10 of the Star Trek and all 20 of the James Bond movies also but don't own any yet.


Also own Home Alone 1 and 2 with no intention of getting 3 and 4. Own Honey, I Shrunk the Kids but I won't buy the others. Same with Starship Troopers, Wild Things and the Sandlot with their straight to video sequels.

[The Monkees]

I do for the most part. Especially if I liked all of the movies except for one.

I didn't like Friday the 13th Part V but I bought all of them
Same with Nightmare on Elm Street 2

But when it came to the Halloween movies I only bought 1, 2, 7 and 8...I hate all the other ones.

[illennium]

I own or plan to own:

The Indiana Jones box set
The Godfather box set
In the Mood for Love / 2046 (when released in R1)

The last of these are the only films where I've bought the original and the sequel separately.

I also own Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, but plan to sell these after I watch them.
