Is it technically a sequel? I was under the impression is was just more of a separate story based on the same character.

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.

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

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?

There's a third and the fourth one might be coming out this summer (we'll have to see ).

Patrica is smoking hot in it though.

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.

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.

It's not too bad. The music is better, but the story is weak.
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.

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."
