Time Cop 2...

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

What happened in Time Cop 2? Part 1 was pretty good.

Actually, isn't there a Time Cop 3 also starring Jason Scott Lee?

and to get totally confused about the film, the story of "Ripley's Game" was actually filmed in 1977 by Wim Wenders as "The American Friend" .

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.

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.

Wha? Really what happens? spoiler please of course. I thought the original was a horrid self involved pile of steaming dog poo. But of course that is just one opinion.















But it is mine so it counts more


*edit* oops didn't see the answer was already posted. shoulda finished reading first.

There were like...4 Universal Soldiers, one had Goldberg in it...

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.

there's also a Cannibal Holocaust 2

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

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 ).

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

Patrica is smoking hot in it though.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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."
