Star Trek.
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.

 

[User removed 4]

100 great palace throw-ins 2

 

[Cpt. Spavil]

crank 2 was a bit better than the first one

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Solaris Часть вторая

 

[RexCathedra]

The Odyssey. The Iliad is short on monsters, and is too much like Tarantino.

Firstly I'm gonna agree with Terminator 2 & Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and I'm going to be slightly controversial and add Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom, IMO much better than Raiders but not as good as Last Crusade.

 

[Zamora For England]

Spiderman 2, not so much 3

Doom was indeed an excellent romp but not as good as Raiders. Hopeever I will agree with you in that the Last Crusade is the best of the 4.

Mad Max II

IMO The temple of Doom is the worse film of the series. Raiders is a classic boys own adventure, Temple of Doom is a Camp, faintly racist b movie.

Terminator 2
SAW

Grease two is better than Grease one FACT.

I am straight by the way, honest guvnor!

 

[John Bumlick]

Aliens
Batman Begins and Batman Forever
Terminator 2
Ice Age 2
Transformers 2
Evil Dead 2

let me guess...all these sequels have higher scores than the originals at imdb?

You make a good point. The worst ever sequel HAS to be 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'. Compared to The Last Crusade and Raiders it is completely turd, and it even makes Temple of Doom look like a quality piece of film making.

 

[Easy 10]

Top Gun 2: Goose Gets Cooked was pretty decent.
The cremation scene was handled with great sensitivity.
