Which Movie Sequel Had the Biggest Drop in Quality?

[Syt]

Inspired by this I had a look at various "worst sequel" lists. I didn't remember that there was a Basic Instinct II

The one I listed!

I'm sorry, I overlooked it.

Big-tit College Cheerleaders really declined after Volume 77.

Except that there is now a *huge* discrepancy between this image shaped by Animal House and its long-lasting impact, and the reality of "the College Experience" today in the US. The rift between what their parents told them (who, themselves are approaching the age of not having really experienced it) and what they see is gigantic. It might as well be Charlie Chaplin's Gold Rush for these kids.

Yeah it isn't the 70s anymore.

The Byzantine Empire.

How dare you!

Specially since Animal House took place in the '60s.

Asked a follow up survey question tonight.

"Which high school movie can you relate to the most."

A preponderance of Ferris Bueller from the guys, Mean Girls had a pluarality  with the girls, but not dominant.  Quite a few Breakfast Clubs on both sides.

Kes.

None of those movies felt very realistic to me.

For decades, my only contact with the FerrisBuellerse was the TV show, which was shown in Spain.

In retrospect, Parker Lewis Can't Lose was probably a better version of the concept for TV.

Ken Loach, at last!

I would also suggest limiting it to second movies in the series. There are many long running franchises where you could pick part 7 or 12 or whatever, or series that really lost it at #3 after one successful sequel (like Smokey and the Bandit).

Yes. Such as Michael Caine's Jaws 4: The Revenge

Speed 2 is very very bad which is a shame because the first film is great. In terms of biggest disappointments I really remember how bad Men in Black 2 was after the first one - same with Jurassic Park: Lost World.

I agree with you on Men in Black as I haven't watched much of the sequels. I found them just lame or uninteresting. But I've liked all of the Jurassic Park movies, even though some were subpar from earlier versions. I just like those type stories.

The Okampa played by Jennifer Lien in the first seasons of Star Trek Voyager.

That was a TV show I really quite enjoyed at the time (probably because I was in high school at the time it aired) but has shockingly almost zero pop culture impact since then.

It was pretty big when I was in high school, but yeah completely forgotten since then.
