Sometimes , you see a movie that opens up a whole universe of theory , leave you wondering where these characters will go next . So much risky venture waiting to happen ! And then … there are movies that really do n’t require a subsequence , but get one anyway . Here are 10 film sequels that it ’s really hard to trust actually subsist .
This sequel to Donnie Darko take place seven years afterward . Donnie ’s sister takes off on a cross - country road slip with a dude named Corey as she mourn her brother ’s death . The plot is fundamentally “ time travelling , blah blah blah , political party , whatever , dispossessed oldtimer is a link to a hole in space - metre , yadda yadda , final stage of the world . ” This movie was made for under $ 4 million in less than 25 days , to capitalise on the original film ’s cult position . Richard Kelly , author / theater director of the original Darko , announced : “ To set the record straight person , here ’s a few facts I ’d wish to share with you all – I have n’t read this script . I have absolutely no affair with this production , nor will I ever be involve … I have no control over the right from our original film , and neither I nor my producing spouse Sean McKittrick stand to make any money from this moving picture . ”
Zack Snyder made a huge impact with 300 , base on Frank Miller ’s graphic novel about 300 Spartans maintain a beach against the intrude on Iranian ground forces . But this film , produce and co - write by Snyder , is so unpointed they had to invent a novel term for it : “ Sidequel . ” It takes place before , during and after the original picture show , and thus features lots of scenes where returning co - star Lena Headey says “ Oh , Leonidas ? You just missed him . He was literally just here a moment ago . ” Where the first movie had a muscley , well - oiled game involve the clash of two fashion of war , this movie deputize sempiternal speeches about destitute Greeks and naval - battle - map - sexual urge . And now that this movie has made over $ 100 million , they ’re already talking about a third 300 .
You do it , we ’ll give you Scorpion King 2 . By all accounts , the first prequel , directed by Russell “ Highlander ” Mulcahy , was reasonably watchable . But there was only one way to go from there — down . The third movie stars Ron Perlman — find out out for his name on this leaning again — and Billy Zane . In SK3 , Dwayne “ The Rock ” Johnson is replace by Victor Webster , aka Carlos from Continuum , playing an older Mathyus who ’s lost his kingdom and become an bravo . He ’s hired by a king ( Perlman ) to vote out a magician ( Zane ) who direct to employ the Book of the Dead to “ elicit an evil army of UFC Fighters , ” according toIGN . If you attempt to link up the Scorpion King ’s appearances in the Mummy films to the theatrical movie , the lineal - to - videodisc prequel and this new subsequence , you ’ll end up needing a lot of Xanax . The in effect word ? Scorpio King 4 has already envelop take , and Rutger Hauer , Michael Biehn , and Lou Ferrigno are all in it .
This direct - to - videodisk sequel follows a woman who has newly - obtain psychical mightiness , after a serial sea wolf repeatedly kills her and revives her so that he can enjoy kill her longer . With these powers she can infiltrate the mind of her tormenter to track him down . Obviously if she dies while inside of the monstrosity , she dies … in real life . amazingly , none of the cast or gang from the original returned to help oneself make this unnecessary sequel . One reviewerproclaimed this subsequence to be “ an absolute piece of shit , ” adding , “ I ’ve seen better CGI in Spanish medicine video . ” Another reviewcompares it unfavourably to Syfy ’s original telecasting pic .
Long before Darren Aronofsky settle the story of Noah ’s Ark was film gold , Steve Carell starred in another film based on this Biblical fib . Evan Almighty was supposed to be a straight - up sequel to Bruce Almighty , but after Jim Carrey refused to return as Bruce , it was retool . Besides Carell returning as Evan , Morgan Freeman reprises his role as God . The outcome is one of the most expensive funniness films ever made , in which God torments Evan “ because I love you . ” And it ’s widely derided as one of the most unfunny clowning ever made as well , thanks to an surfeit of preachiness and a succession of dense gags .
It probably made a lot of common sense to make a sequel to the 1994 score The Mask . It probably even made signified when someone put up up the estimate that “ the only trouble with the first The Mask is that it did n’t have enough of The Mask , it just was n’t mask - y enough , kids love that Mask you know . ” So in this movie , which bank on the appearance of Ben Stein to reprise his role as a chronicle professor or something to carry on any sort of continuity from the first one , has a Jamie Kennedy Mask , a sister Mask , and a dog Mask . It ’s worth mentioning that the baby ’s mask - iness comes from the fact that Jamie Kennedy get it on with his wife while break the titular mask , and then pass on some sorting of Mask gene . Bob Hoskins and Alan Cumming co - lead as Odin and Loki , who are on a mission to find that bats Mask and probably a cant machine to cash whatever huge check they got to be in this $ 84 million washout .
Steven Spielberg made a movie based on one of the greatest works of lit of all time . And then this sequel was rushed out to ride whatever wave of excitement stay from watch Tom Cruise battle alien walkers . The Spielberg film , like the H.G. Wells novel , has a moderately close - end determination in which the Martian invaders fall victim to Earth bacteria and are wiped out — so it ’s difficult to see where a subsequence would have elbow room to go . Luckily , managing director / star C. Thomas Howell has a few ideas : This time , we take the engagement to them . Yes , that ’s right — the U.S. Air Force , somehow , after the near - stark destruction of the world two years prior , manages to make a fleet of jets that can travel to Mars , to attack the exotic homeworld . In the remnant , the main characters incur a space jet and fly back to Earth .
Paul W.S. Anderson orchestrate a serviceable victimization flick , based very broadly speaking on the mad cult - classic Death Race 2000 . But almost everybody jump ship after the first instalment , include genius Jason Statham , to make mode for a serial of lineal - to - DVD car - racing motion picture star Luke Goss as the ruthless racer Frankenstein . Byall account , Death Race 2 is a unequaled disaster , a prequel to a prequel to a remaking or something , but Death Race 3 actually has some fun car stunt and mayhem .
As far as persistence is concerned Lost boy : The Tribe beats all the rest on this list . It stars none other than Angus Sutherland , son of Donald Sutherland and , you guessed it — half brother to Kiefer Sutherland , champion of the original Lost Boys . Oh , and also Corey Feldman . In fact , Feldman manage to be the solitary joining between all three of these films , unless you count post - mortem footage of Corey Haim splice into the third installment , which was probably in somewhat bad gustation .
To be fair , all Uwe Boll sequels are unnecessary , because all Uwe Boll moving-picture show are unnecessary , full stay . But at least the original Name of the King was stagily released and had Jason Statham , Ron Perlman , Ray Liotta , Leelee Sobieski , Mathew Lillard , and Burt Fucking Reynolds . The 2d movie also directed by Uwe Boll , stars Dolph Lundgren , who famously explained , “ I was getting divorce at the prison term and I needed some cash quickly to compensate for a few things … lawyer . ” Which sounds about right . Name if the King III , again directed by Uwe Boll , stars Prison Break ’s Dominic Purcell — and this time , it ’s about a rabble hitman who ’s station back in time to the Middle Ages to rub out the royal family . Yeah .
