Favourite Movie Sequels

[Guest John Hancock]

And how was Aliens shit?

 

As I said; pure horror sequels only. I wouldn't call Aliens a horror film, it was an action film. I would consider the horror sequel to Alien to be Alien 3, which is when the series became a horror series again, and instantly began sucking.

 

I'm sorry Johnny but Hellraiser 2 (uncut of course) was just as good as the first.

 

In relation to the first one, which I like an awful lot, I didn't care for it.

The asylum scene alone freaked me out pretty bad when I first saw it. The rest was cheese interlaced with flashes of brutality. The whole autistic puzzle master little girl was a fantastic concept but they didn't quite pull it off.

 

Halloween: Curse of Michal Myers was a great squeal and easily my favorite besides the original.

 

Do you think Devil's Rejects was better than House of a Thousand Corpses?

[Guest John Hancock]

Yeah, the Halloween series had it's up and downs, I wouldn't write it off as a series.

 

I prefer Thousand Corpses, but, to me, that question is like asking if I would prefer to have syphilis or AIDS. Sure, one's preferable to the other, but I'd be pretty bummed out about either.

[Maxximus 353]

I see where you're coming from. I can be very picky when it comes to horrors too.

 

Have you seen Cabin in the Woods and if so what did you think?

[Guest John Hancock]

Haven't seen it, but I want to, I hear it's really good.

[Maxximus 353]

It wasn't what I expected at all. The concept itself was pretty damn genius. Lots of twists and turns. I strongly recommend it. As a horror fan it's really hard to find something different and this was very different.

Back on topic!!

 

I always found the Crow sequels to be poor, until number 4 (I think, the one with the dude from Ugly Betty). That one actually worked really well, just a shame it had Kirsten Dunst in it.

Not a sequel to Goodfellas per say but had most of the original cast, and the same director, it felt like a sequel to me.

EDIT: Yeah that was a pretty good sequel. Shame the next one had Edward Furlong shitting things up. Didn't realize until I looked it up that there's been 5 Crow films (And another one on the way.)

Rebuild of Evangelion 2.xx is brilliant, can't wait for 3.xx to come out and see how much it diverges from the original series.

[King 277]

Young Guns II is another favourite of mine.

[Guest Jamster26]

Die Hard; the best action film(s) I've watched. Bruce Willis was amazing in this, especially 4.0. "Damn Hamster!" :lol

That is a fantastic shout. Used to love me some Young Guns as a nipper. :D

And how was Aliens shit?

 

Who said that?

 

Not necessarily direct sequels but I personally love the Revenge Trilogy (Park Chan-Wook) the second film in the series Oldboy is a masterpiece

So you're the guy who liked Die Hard 4. I heard there was one of you.

The Crow, The Crow2: City of Angels, The Crow: Salvation, The Crow: Wicked Prayer...5th one? Man I thought the Furlong one was the last one. That was so shit I can't even remember what happens.

[ViciousPrism 177]

If I recall correctly, Furlong & his girlfriend get killed by David Boreanaz, who's looking to become Satan. Yep. (Also I botched the fact that there were 5 Crow films. I should have said, 4 Crow films, one on the way and a TV series. Natch.)

 

EDIT: OH. And the crow gets injured (BIG SURPRISE!!) Danny Trejo does a Crow dance (!!!) to revive it.

That was the third one and it was a nice change of pace from the others (it was good to see The Crow having fun with his powers from the off). Besides, you can't ever totally hate a film that has Fred Ward in it.

 

I loved all four of the Crow films (the fourth was the poorest of the series, but I still enjoyed it) and the TV series (Stairway to Heaven) was actually pretty decent (it continues the story with Eric Draven).

 

If I recall correctly, Furlong & his girlfriend get killed by David Boreanaz, who's looking to become Satan. Yep. (Also I botched the fact that there were 5 Crow films. I should have said, 4 Crow films, one on the way and a TV series. Natch.)

There is a new film in the works which will be a reworking of the original story, although it's had a troubled pre-production.

 

Stephen Norrington (writer), Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (director), Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum have all been linked to the film and since left the project (or, in the case of the actors, were never genuinely on board to begin with).

 

The main issue I have (at present anyway - the film itself could surprise) is that the studio are hoping to drop the gothic stylings of Alex Proyas and "bring it up-to-date for the 21st Century with a realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary style".

 

I'm not sure how that style would work for a film about a guy who is killed and then brought back to life to avenge his death... but District 9 did a great job in the same vein, so here's hoping they can work some magic.
