Name a good movie with a bad sequel/sequels...

[edisonprime]

I'm not counting the 2021 remake as a sequel because I actually found it much better than the original but I think the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie was great but it had a horrible sequel (and yes I know that a remake is not a sequel, but some people are weird that way). Another movie I loved that had horrible sequels was Highlander.

Christmas Vacation. The first one was an instant classic. The second was just plain bad (IMHO).

 

[Juan]

Superman with Christopher Reeve..1st was good..second ok then blah

 

[Bruce]

Matrix.

 

[primestar31]

Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This was by far the best one of all of them.

Pretty much all the following movies were just bad.

 

[Mr Tony]

Smokey and the Bandit

 

[harshness]

Ghostbusters

As in, never waste money on an odd numbered Star Trek.

My favorite is actually the first one!

When I found out about the fifth part, I remember I didn’t even want to watch the trailer.

I think my grammar was poor here so I'm going to clarify. I'm saying that the 2021 remake was superior to the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie, but the 1995 movie was still awesome but its 1997 sequel "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" was downright awful!

 

[mphca]

American Graffiti
The Fly (1958 ...."Help me, Help me")

 

["MysteryMan"]

"The Magnificent Seven" (1960)

 

[TRG]

All of them except for Alian. The sequel, Alians was better than the first.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Men In Black. 1st and 3rd were great, 2nd and 4th stank up the place...

I liked both Alien and Aliens, but #3 and #4 never happened in my universe.
