Worst Threequels

In Honor of MI: III and the upcoming X-MEN 3, I wanted to take a look at threequels.

Today are the worst. Here is the rule: the original film had to be pretty good. (Who cares if there is a bad sequel of a bad film to start with?)

THE TOP TEN WORST THREEQUELS

#10 ALIEN 3 – Perhaps there was nowhere to go but down, but this far?

#9 JURASSIC PARK III – I actually liked LOST WORLD, but almost walked out of this.

#8 ALIEN vs. PREDATOR – I’ve never seen this, but Ajax vouches for the bad, and I’m putting it under the third Predator film

#7 SUPER MAN III – For Gene Hackman’s hair and Richard Pryor alone

#6 FRIDAY THE 13^TH PART 3 – The first two were generally creepy. After that they lost me. (Also available in 3-D.)

#5 KARATE KID 3 – Not as bad as 4 (with Hillary Swank!), but pretty bad, and the gimmick at the end was basically yoga!

#4 HALLOWEEN 3 – I’ll make this simple: there was no Michael Myers

#3 JAWS III (IN 3-D!) - Schrödinger tells me she can’t see in 3-D. I envy her.

#2 AUSTIN POWERS GOLDMEMBER – Foxy Cleopatra sucked, Goldmember sucked, the car sucked and the brother thing sucked. I loathed this movie.

And the number on threequel of all time…..

#1 They never actually made this movie. It was a mistake. Those of you who think you’ve seen it, you haven’t. You know what I’m talking about, and let’s never speak of it again.
