Was it necessary to add interludes done with flash animation? And yest, it's absolute crap.

4 of those American Pies were theatrical films.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

I really tried hard to like it but it was awful

It was like they were fucking it up on purpose. Even the handful of good fight scenes were diminished by bad editing.

Any Adkins fans tempted to see this should watch the far superior Eliminators instead.

Yep. but at work. Too busy to look for separate pictures of the direct to video ones.

 

[Boney]

Ok

This can't be real. Right?

 

[Stallion Dan]

American Psycho 2. How they roped Mila Kunis into staring in it is beyond me. Truly putrid assdribble.

Aladdin 2 was a massive disappointment to me as a child. I adored the first and the second was just a soulless zombie dragging it's rotting corpse through my childhood.

Aladdin sequels actually went to theatres, unlike most of the other Disney animated sequels to 90s films.

I didn't realise it had actually been released lol

 

[RipperGrim]

Those Jarhead sequels make me laugh. It was made by people who just so completely missed the point of the original movie.

Did the people behind the first one have anything at all do with the sequels? I would be very surprised if they did.

Came to Post about the Cell 2. Happy it already got posted!

The Jarhead sequels wilfully miss the point. They're just bog-standard military action movies that trade on the name recognition of the original. The people making them know exactly what they're doing.

This thread makes me sick.

There's a good Grantland article that looked into why the Jarhead 2 was made. It also gives some insight into the modern day straight to DVD sequel business.

Universal Soldier got several series of different continuity sequels.

These two came first, many years after the original and with Van Damme recast. BUT! The same year as III released Van Damme also did a sequel to the first movie, in a different continuity.

But wait! There is more, about 10 years after the Van Damme sequel was another Van Damme sequel to the first film, again in a new continuity.

This one actually got a sequel in same continuity.

Every one of them is dogshit.

Some may have theatrical releases in US but they all straight to video in UK so I'm counting them.

Regeneration is, and I mean this sincerely, the best DTV action movie ever made.

 

[Jasper]

Can't believe I forgot this...

Oh and Urban Legend...

 

[Patryn]

Can't believe I forgot this...

Theatrical release.

Holy shit there were EIGHT American pie movies? I think I saw the first and maybe the second.

Judging by the flute on the cover of the 4th one, it looks like they recycled a lot of the same jokes.

I only saw one that takes place in college, with the father being the only remaining original character. It's pretty much a copypasta of Revenge of The nerds, Animal House, and similar ones to the point that you could practically swap the scenes.

Pretty sure the 4th one (the first of the "Stifler's cousins" spin-offs) is called "Band Camp" so...

 

[Subway Diet]

The "ultraviolent action movie about clones meets student art film" vibe was certainly interesting, to say the least.

I kind of enjoyed it. Kind of.

Thanks so much for posting this. I've always wanted to know more about these shit-quels. This article was what I hoped "How did this get made" would be.

 

[Slayven]

 

[gforguava]

Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Day of Reckoning are both great and in Regeneration's case it is arguably the best DTV sequel ever made.

 

[AlexBasch]

Gonna hop in the "Universal Soldier sequels are" awesome train.

The way the bad dude punched the fuck out of his opponent's skulls in the ground was brutal.

Also

Spoiler

...wait.

 

[disappeared]

"Medium Level Sex Scenes"

I need to remember that line.

 

[HyperZone<3]

Highlander 5 The Source.

considering how many L's the Highlander series had taken to this point, it was kind of astonishing to see how things were able to get even worse.

Guyver 2

I must disagree, its a dead-serious American made tokusatsu film with awesome fights and hard violence. This movie kind of rocks. Also, its the only leading role that not a voice over that David Hayter ever got, hearing his Solid Snake voice affixed to an actual person delighted me.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

The Rage: Carrie 2.

 

[Linkura]

The Mummy 3 is horrible. Really hate it.

It was in theaters. I remember because I actually walked out midway through because it was so shit.

 

[FoneBone]

The Rage: Carrie 2.

Not straight-to-DVD.

 

[caliph95]

Only watched the spoony reviews but i feel sorry for highlander fans

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Tarzan and Jane, Tarzan 2, Lion King 2 (Lion 1 1/2 is better), Mulan 2, Brother Bear 2...
Seriously can someone name a GOOD direct to dvd Disney sequel?

Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Who the hell is that guy in scoripian king 4v big country Nelson lmao.

 

[Schlorgan]

Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

Seconded.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

Oh yeah that was good, much better than Return of Jafar which was gutter quality but it's a threequel...DOES IT COUNT?

 

[pikablu]

Someone should make a thread for best straight to dvd sequels because I actually really like:

Lion king 2
Lion king 1/2
Brother Bear 2 (this one is better than the original imo)

 

[RustyNails]

This is the most depressing thread of 2017 yet lol

 

[Rival]

Holy shit! I just googled this because I didn't believe it could possibly be real.

 

[TheGamingBox]

well from what i understand return of jafar was just originally going to be the beginning of the tv series, but thy decided to turn it into a movie, so they cut the episodes into a single movie, king of thieves was always going to be a movie so probably had a bigger budget, they also got robin williams back to the play the genie in king of thieves

 

[Lijik]

There are 3 terrible sequels to Open Season that went direct to video and I know too much about them. They replace the voice actors for the main characters with each entry. joel mchale voices the deer in the second one. david feiss of Cow and Chicken fame directed the fourth one, some of the new characters are clearly in his artstyle and it does not translate well to budget cg.

It's all Jarhead 2's fault.

Ohh yeah! The first one was decent at best and my then gf rented the second one and boy it was so damn awful. Caught some glimpses of 3 and couldn't believe how bad it was. Then there was a fourth? Jesus have mercy.
