The Sequel: Thankfully the scary-as-hell Michael Oliver was too old to return as Junior for this belated sequel, which is at least a small blessing. The first flick was apparently a surprise hit, but the real surprise is that they even bothered with a threequel.
Line this one up alongside Home Alone 4 (or 3, for that matter) and Beethoven’s 5th. So dreadful we couldn't even find a clip on YouTube other than this non-embeddable one.
What We Would Have Preferred Instead: Problem Child: Jason In Love. Jason Voorhees kills a cheerleader, only to discover her baby in a bassinette. Turning gooey, he decides to raise it as his own. But come Jason Jr’s fifth birthday, Jason discovers he’s raised a monster…

Rick Rosenthal directed Halloweens 2 and 8, not 9! Worst sequels in my opinion : Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever / Batman & Robin, The Howling 2 to 7, Basic Instinct 2, Blade Trinity, Candyman 3, The Rage : Carrie 2, The Crow Salvation, Fortress 2, More American Graffiti and the godawful An American Werewolf In Paris!

What the hell is going on in Exorcist 2???? Totally random. Ill tell you one franchise where the sequel totally rocked dudes...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Seceret of the Ooze was brilliant.

I thought the Mortal Kombat 2 clip was a London Boys video from the 80s what with all the loud keyboards and backflips...

I don't agree with Hadouken76 : Escape From L.A.'s got a lot of flaws : some horrible CGI from 1996 (the underwater sequence, the bike jump, the surfin scene), some truly terrible acting (George Corraface, Cliff Robertson, Peter Fonda, Valeria Golino), an uneven tone (is it supposed to be a parody of the original film?) but it is 100 % a John Carpenter film : the ending of Escape From L.A. is incredibly ballsy, one of the best endings ever made for a summer blockbuster. And you can't deny that the film is incredibly fun! Plus it has a great score! And as always, Kurt Russell rules!
