So I'm surfing the glory that is the 400+ channels I now have on my HD, DVR cable from Comcast up here in Beantown (god bless my pimp ass TV), and I came across what I consider the worst film sequel ever:
Caddyshack II
So I thought I'd like to get everyone's feedback - what do you think is the worst sequel ever? Here are the requirements: the original has to be universally accepted as a good film (so "Starship Troopers II" doesn't count, 'cause the first one sucked), and the second (or third) basically has to make you say "CHRIST, THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE!!!!!!"
I want to disqualify Godfather III right away. While it is nowhere near the quality of the first two, objectively it isn't THAT horrible. I used to think it was the worst, but upon further viewing, it can't hold a candle to this Randy Quaid, Jackie Gleason, Robert Stack, the chick from Wilson Phillips, Johnathan Silverman, Dan Akroyd, Chevy Chase, Dyanne Cannon and Marsha Warfield monstrosity. That poor gopher. Well, at least he gets the poodle in the end.
Discuss.

Caddyshack II is clearly in select company, along with Grease II, Speed II, Arthur II, and Exorcist II. Honorable mention goes to a very obscure movie which featured much of the cast of Hogan's Heroes, set in 1960's East Germany. Watching Hogan, Klink and Burkhalter try to locate an East German gymnast defecting to the US was about as weird as watching Gomer Pyle and Sgt. Carter if they were recast as New York street detectives. This blog item I found below has more bad sequels, including one oldie I long forgot: "Ensign Pulver", which was the sequel to Mr. Roberts (1955). None of the original cast was in it, which is a bad sign right there, and it was nine years after the original, another bad sign. Still, it's probably the only movie ever to pair up Jack Nicholson, Jerry Orbach, and Hollywood Squares game show host Peter Marshall in a single picture. Very weird... isfullofcrap.com/oldcrap/007082.html |

Dumb and Dumberer. Follow up to a little slice of crazy genius, that did away with all the cleverness and acting talent and substituted stupidity. Caddy Shack II is tough to beat in this category though.

this is nowhere near the worst sequel (really, not even close) but I was dissappointed in last year's Spider-Man 2 (which I saw at the Georgetown Loews.) What am I missing? I liked Spider-Man 1, but SM2 just didnt do it for me.

Ten more: 5. House Party III Can I take this to mean that DFW was down with "HouseParty2: The pajama jam"? Interesting (and, I have to confess, a little unexpected)... |

How is Slapshot 2 not on anyone's list?
Probably cause no one saw it.
Still, it tarnishes perhaps the greatest sports comedy of all time. Damn you Stephen Baldwin! ! ! I hope your new found relationship with Jesus will prevent you from doing anything that blasphemous ever again.
Others:
The Sting II
Pet Sematary II
Another 48 Hours (actually, pretty much ANY Eddie Murphy sequel)
Any Meatballs sequel (c'mon, admit it, you liked the first one)
Does the short-lived Animal House TV show count as a sequel to the movie?
Predator II -- just because no one should ever have to be subject to watching Danny Glover sweat that much
And the number one bad sequel of all time. . .
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo
OK, so the first Breakin' was not a good movie, but it had to be made for any number of reasons. The second one never had to exist for any reason whatsoever.
It did give us that great phrase though, which can now be used to refer to any lousy sequel. Try it, it works on anything. . .
Speed 2: Electric Boogaloo
Blade 2: Electric Boogaloo
Tremors 2: Electric Boogaloo
Citizen Kane 2: Electric Boogaloo
Its just that natural rhyme, works for all occasions.

technically, it doesn't count since it is literally the exact same movie as the original, but "teen wolf too" needs to be a part of this discussion.
