What was the best sequel to whatever franchise? [Archive]

I think Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 to the obvious Hellraiser franchise.
Nightmare on Elm Street 2 to the NOES franchise.
The Final Chapter for F13.
Halloween 2 for Halloween (followed by four and five).

Total toss-away thread, just seems like there aren't many new discussions coming up.

And don't feel the need to stick only to these franchises, go on to Ginger Snaps or Tremors or Romero's Dead series, whatever...

Nightmare 3 IMO is a better NOES sequel

i think f13 part 3 is the best in that franchise

Tremors 2 was a decent follow up to the first, but the third and prequal were greatly unnecessary.

Return of the living dead part 2 showed respect to the first, though many would say it ends there with its quality sequals.

Blade 2 was a great follow up.

Aliens was the perfect follow up to Alien, though 3 and resurrection were greatly lacking.

28 Weeks later was a fantastic follow up to 28 days.

Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are legends of their time.

Critters 2 was a quality follow up, but it fades after that.

Creepshow 2 was a fitting sequal to the first, the third was lacking... but still partly entertaining.

The Grudge 2 rocked...only cause Buffy the vampire slayer dies in the first 10 mins. :haht:

Hellraiser 2 was picture perfect, even the third was fitting and somewhat well done... series sort of reaches after this, but still worth the watch.

Howling 4 returned life to the series, even if briefly.

I completely agree with you on Tremors 2, Blade 2, Aliens, and Hellraiser 2; but I think Evil Dead was the best of the Evil Dead trilogy. I think the second one is so popular because of it's humor and feel, the whole darker ambiance of it, it wasn't as campy. Had Evil Dead had the feel and tone of Evil Dead 2, it would be even more admired than it is now.

Aliens....game over man game over

NOES = 3, Dream Warriors
28 Weeks Later for sure.
Child's Play = Bride of Chucky. Was actually what the films were supposed to be. A nice mix of horror and humor.
Hellraiser = 3, Hell on Earth

Dawn of the Dead seconded

Friday the 13th - Final Chapter with Jason Lives a close second
Halloween - Halloween 6 Producers Cut with Halloween 3 behind that
NOES - Nightmare 3 followed by New Nightmare
Childs Play - Childs Play 3
ROTLD - Return of the Living Dead 3 simply because it had something different to offer than a weaker ROTLD 2 which was a watered down ROTLD

Ehh thats it

DOTD,Phantasm 2 and Aliens are my fav. sequels,and the best for their Franchises.

Night of the Demons 2 and Sleepaway Camp 2 were also good.

Those of you who picked "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth"...for SHAME. :nono:

Anyway, here are mine.

ALIENS
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
Bride of Chucky
Halloween II
Tremors 2: Aftershocks

I'm curious. Why hasn't anybody mentioned their beloved "Saw" sequels?

Toxic Voorhees

Aliens is definitely the best of the franchise. Bill Paxton owned that fucking movie

And thanks for bringing it to my attention: Saw 2.

Of the Scream trilogy, they all went downhill fast, but I guess the second was the best of the two sequels.

Scream is overall just bad unless your into soaps.

Because they are decent flicks but no where near my 'top ten' sequals list... not even top 50.

Aliens for sure, Evil Dead 2 is my favorite of the trilogy. TCM 2 also my favorite out of all of em. Hellbound especially. This movie was such an enormous step forward from the first one and imo its rivaled in the series only by Bloodline. 28 weeks later was awesome. Saw 3, although unpopular, is my favorite so far. The Ring 2.

steelba

11-28-2007, 12:27 PM

Maniac Cop 2 (the best of the whole seies)
Phantasm 2
Friday the 13th 4
Hallween 4
28 Weeks Later
Inferno (sequel to Suspiria)
Watchers2
Saw 2
Final Destination 2 (the best of the series)

ASoron0424

Final Destination 2 (the best of the series)

Forgot about the Final Destination movies; and I would agree with you that the second one is more entertaining, but I think the first was definitely a better movie (not as gory or as stimulating though).

Toxic Voorhees

11-28-2007, 05:16 PM

Final Destination 2 ups it on everything imo.
Halloween 4 is probably my favorite sequel to that franchise.

Agreed with Jaws 2 despite the fact that it was ass boring.

If Dreyfuss had returned to go with Scheider and a script that didnt involve a bunch of underdeveloped, cardboard kids. It probably would've been a great sequel. Instead it was pretty mediocre for its time but still better than most stuff put out today despite being hella boring.

Dead or Alive 2 was better than the first
The eye 2 was better than the first
Oldboy was better than sympathy for mr vengeance.

Empire strikes back was better than ANH
Aliens was better than Alien
T2 was better than T1
And uhh
i liked Saw 3 more than Saw 1 since people are harping on that.
Also i would say elm street 3 is awesome.

"Whichever franchise" in th realm of horror. But that's cool; and I agree on Empire and T2.

It is a decent addition to the Hellraiser series... but some might get confused if they want to see Inferno and rent a Hellraiser flick by mistake. :drunks:

I didn't like it. It's just like Hellraiseer Inferno, but it's not as good imo. But everyon here likes it more than part 5 so...

RustedChainsaw

12-01-2007, 02:07 AM

Oh, forgot to mention MY favorite "Hellraiser" sequels.

Again, if you thought "Hell on Earth" was the best one, you clearly didn't capture the essence of what the first was about.

I'd say "Hellbound", "Bloodline", and "Hellseeker". The fifth seemed to have a lot of random s**t in it. Ninja cowboys? What the hell?

TacK

12-01-2007, 02:11 AM

I quit liking them really after part 3

12-01-2007, 02:29 AM

It's the only other sequel I like besides Hellbound. Seriously. Ashley Laurence is great in it too. A lot of people say her character is too much of a stretch after the second one, but I can't see it. After going to hell, you can only be so much of a person.

And I can't believe you all forgot the gem that is Leprechaun: In da Hood. Come on people.

Lep In Da Hood was horrible, can't believe they made a Back to Da Hood, wait yes I can.

Sleepaway Camp 2 was great. Was funny as hell and a Pamela Springsteen was badass in it.

Bloodline was pretty good, I thought. Not even in the same realm as Hellraiser or Hellbound, but definitely worth renting.

Well, that and the first are the only ones that kind of keep any element of mystery throughout; so in terms of I guess weaving a story with suspense and everything, that's probably one of the best.

I agree. Hellraiser Inferno was a very decent movie. I am definately a hellraiser fan, I wish they would stop though, deader, endgame or whatever it was called. dumb. I loved Suspiria and i didnt know about this Inferno sequel. Im checking that out for sure.

I loved Suspiria and i didnt know about this Inferno sequel. Im checking that out for sure.
It's very different but i like it alot more than Suspiria. Ofcoarse I own them both..

Dawn of the Dead was probably 'the' best horror sequel ever!
