Predator 2 is another, but that series never could/can measure up without Schwarzenegger. The same with Universal Soldier... at least not until Van Damme came back.

I thought the idea was to name a sequel that was so poorly received, they didn't make any more. Like:

Speed 2
Caddyshack 2
Arthur 2: On the Rocks

But if the concept is movies that harmed the perception of the series as a whole, I think you'd have to throw in Star Wars: Episode I, right? (Technically it's not a sequel, but, eh.)

. . .I thought the idea was to name a sequel that would have been so much better if Michael Biehn was in it. . .then, use as many ellipses as possible in stating that opinion. . .

... my bad.
Drex1, the concept is both... any sequel, irregardless of subsequent sequels, that you believed tanked, or could have tanked the entire series. The scope is broad, perhaps I should have used the wording in this post to describe it instead of periodic examples but when thinking of what next to post my mind wandered to my discontent with the Alien series and I just rolled with it and so again... my bad... I hope this helps clear up any confusion... you can consider this the auxiliary opener.

What is this thread about?

1) Sequels that are better than the originals

2) Actors whose careers "torpedoed" after a single film and never had that momentum again

3) Michael Biehn's career

4) All of the above

5) None of the above

I've read the original post five times and I can't figure it out. However, throwing it into Google translate, translating it to Chinese, and then back to English makes it far more comprehensible:


One of, if not the best time for foreigners and science fiction horror film is hard, because it is a parallel to the original sequel, the creators of foreigners having a successful challenge, and then have the opportunity to open the Helms with Michael Biehn (Terminator) and a budding science fiction stage actor. Producers ignored, therefore, the greatest series, and the promising young actor in Hollywood is one of the professional caliber of destruction (yes, I said they had never good in the second and foreigners, except for a few, the average films, namely "the abyss" and "Art of War", the latest Biehn and not because of a good movie).
You can think of any breach of its series of other complications? Fifth Black Friday is another thought.

I just took it to mean sequels that more or less the ruined the franchise. When I responded with Jaws 2, I meant that movie was so much worse than the original and the following 2 sequels were even worse than the first sequel. It's possible that Jaws could have been a good franchise had the second movie been better.

However, another poster took it to mean than the sequel was so bad that no other sequels were made and therefore ended the franchise. Caddyshack II and Speed 2 for example.

It's kind of an open ended up question that could be answered a number of ways.

Beverly Hills Cop 3 was bad enough to not warrant any other further sequels.

I think the OP is pretty clear, he is asking about something like "Alien3" that completely derails the series with some sort of massively-unpopular game-changer.

That said, it will quickly become a "sequels that suck" thread.

That's why I'm always amazed when I see these bizarrely-specific discussions on message boards.

Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble (1944)

The rest of the series was never the same for me knowing that Andy got a STD from a hooker.
