That isn't the same thing as something where the cast comes back and you expect the product to sort of live up to the original (or at least not tarnish the memory of the original so much).
I'll cast a vote for The Two Jakes. Chinatown is in my Top 10 All-Time and I was so stoked that this got made-- until I watched it once.. and only once. edit : And while I was writng that inri222 beat me to the punch. :lol: |

Smokey and the Bandit II.
Fucking horrible movie. Yes there is a ton of DTV sit but this was a big budget follow-up to a box office smash. |

Blues Brothers 2000, although in fairness I absolutely refuse to watch it.
Surprised nobody has tried to pull the latest SW Trilogy into this.... ;) |
Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
Splash Too. Straight to TV. Thank the Elder Gods that it hasn't shown up on video AFAIK. And if it did, please don't post a link. Think of the humanity!

Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
note to self: gotta watch Chinatown

Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
Most of the obvious ones have been mentioned already. I'll add
An American Werewolf in Paris (loose sequel) Basic Instinct 2 Also, pretty sure there's some level of agreement Temple of Doom should be in here somewhere. |
Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
Temple of Doom doesn't belong in this discussion. It wasn't as good as Raiders but few films are. ToD is still a solid movie.
|
Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
Temple of Doom has flaws, but is an excellent movie.
|
Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. No comparison to its masterpiece predecessor.
|
Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
Batman Begins to The Dark Knight. We go from a good Batman origin story based on the comic books to a low rent Heat rip off. Then it is topped off with the silliest movie ever made with Rises.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. This is only my opinion of course as I realize this sequel has many fans that regard it as a masterpiece. It just missed the mark for me.

This is what happens when you let the choreographer from the first film direct the sequel. |
Re: worst degradation in quality from original to sequel
I don't know if it's the WORST degradation in quality, but in terms of creative cast and crew being retained from the first film, and expectations being through the roof? Incredibles --> Incredibles 2.
The first film is IMO flawless and brilliant. The sequel is a perfunctory but mostly empty shell. |
