I have avoided Highlander 3 and Halloween 6.

ianholm

I skipped Halloween 3

DeanoBKN

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.

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.

johnbook

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)

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
