Hollywood's clear lack of original ideas is a pestilence much bemoaned by movie buffs. We see sequel after remake after TV show-turned-movie after prequel after comic book adaptation after "reboot" after ... Hasbro toys and game boards?!

But unless you regularly scour the New Releases section of your local video store Blockbuster, you may not actually realize how severe The Sequel Pandemic -- as we'll call it -- has gotten.

For every sequel released theatrically, there are thrice that number released straight to DVD. Oftentimes they happen to really decent movies, movies that did nothing to deserve the embarrassing stigma of a horrendous, star-less straight-to-DVD sequel.

Warning: There were no special effects (or Photoshopping) involved in the making of this article. What you are about to see are ACTUAL DVD titles released into the world.

American Psycho 2 (2002)


http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/JamesGrec/AmericanPsycho.jpg


UPDATE: We attempted to cap ourselves at 15, but this just-discovered, absurdly-real DVD sequel (starring Mila Kunis and William Shatner?!) is too hard to pass up.


http://www.moviefone.com/insidemovies/2009/08/12/worst-straight-to-dvd-sequels/

I thought Mila Kunis was good in American Psycho 2. The movie wasn't great but she was good at playing a killer. I'm surprised the Bring It On series isn't on the list.

Looks like some real stinkers on that list! :lol:

When this first came out I was tempted to pick it up because I like Kunis. The video clerk said "Don't even bother." when I went to look at it so I never bothered with it.

I'm surprised S. Darko didn't make the list.

Oh yeah...

I knew a good chunck of these flicks but there was a few I never knew about.

I saw American Psycho 2 on Showtime and then later on I think Sci-Fi or USA showed it. I thought it was a little bit better than I expected. I read some bad reviews on S. Darko.

I rarely bother with direct-to-dvd sequels but being the huge Donnie Darko fan that I am I had to see what S. Darko was about. I wasn't impressed at all.

I haven't seen S. Darko yet. If it comes out on cable or maybe I'll watch it through netflix. I'm surprised that The Subsitutue sequels didn't end up on that list.

I also would have included The Butterfly Effect sequels, Urban Legends: Final Cut and I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.

I thought Urban Legends: Final Cut was awful. I haven't seen The Butterfly Effect sequels or I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.

Surprised Major League III didn't make the list. Simply PUTRID!! :eek:

Really, Back To The Minors was straight-to-video?

Oh yeah, Urban Legends: Final Cut was crap. Sometimes there is a reason why these flicks go straight-to-DVD... lol

I believe it was - I don't remember it being in the theaters.

I believe it was - I don't remember it being in the theaters.

Nope, this had a theatrical run.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=majorleague3.htm

I remember when it was in the theaters because my cousin saw it at the discount theater she worked at.

^ OK, thanks you guys for clarifying. It must not have been in the theaters very long. I didn't see the whole movie but what I did see stunk! :eek:

I remember seeing it on HBO or Cinemax and I thought it was awful. The only direct-to-video sequel that I have ever liked was The Sandlot:Heading Home.

If that wasn't bad enough, supposedly there is a Major League 4 in the works. Please, no!! :eek: :mad:

I noticed French Stewart was in more of these movies than any other actor. Doesn't say much for his career does it?

Couldn't have said it better myself!! :nod:

The only real direct-to-video sequels that I have bothered to see were the later sequels in the Hellraiser, Candyman, Phantasm, Wishmaster, and Leprechaun series.

Some of those were hit or miss. The best of the direct-to-video sequels to me would have to go to Hellraiser and Candyman.


One of my favorite direct-to-video franchises are the Puppet Master films. Some of the films in the series suck but for a direct-to-video independent series some of them are actually quite good.

Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002)

I remember seeing the previews on television for this when this was about to air; this was actually a television movie.

When I saw the preview I was thinking "What s*it." I heard that Daniel Stern was asked to reprise his role in this and he flat out refused calling it garbage.

I agree with on the Hellraiser and Candyman sequels. I wouldn't mind having those on DVD.

I've heard of a few of those, but Save the Last Dance 2 would be the only one I'd be interested in seeing. I'm sure it's not as good as the original, but I love movies about dancing, so you never know.

There was also a Dirty Dancing 2; Havana Nights, which was actually pretty good. I've seen it twice, I believe. Patrick Swayze has a small part in it as a dance instructor.

Havana Nights actually had a theatrical release. I remember I was still working at the movie theater at that time, and got a button of that movie to wear on my work shirt.

I haven't seen Havana Nights but I know people said it was pretty good.

I saw The Substitute part 2. I might've seen part 3, i don't remember. I liked part 2. Michael Michele's fine ass was in the 2nd one and she got beat up and killed by the asian guy who plays on Law And Order SVU. I felt bad for her during that scene because i don't like to see women getting beat up by men. Did ya'll know there are 2 sequels to Anaconda movie with Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez? I never seen any of them but i know Morris Chestnut and Salli Richardson are in the 2nd one and David Hasselhoff is in the 3rd one. I have seen so many straight to video movies on the shelf with actors i've never seen before hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Where does Hollywood find these people? LOL. A lot of straight to video movies are terrible but some of them are good. There was also a sequel to Single White Female movie with one of the girls who used to be in Destiny's Child singing group. Her name is Farrah Franklin. I was thinking about checking it out because i liked the first one with Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. There was also 2 sequels to Wild Things movie with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards and i've seen them and i liked them. The 2nd one had Leila Arcieri(this girl is so hot)and Isaiah Washington.

Havana Nights actually had a theatrical release. I remember I was still working at the movie theater at that time, and got a button of that movie to wear on my work shirt.

Home Alone 4 was actually a Fox made for TV movie! and UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!

I thought it aired on ABC. :confused:

No that was an ABC movie.


Two other flicks here were made-for-television:

- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure was for NBC.

- Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective was for Cartoon Network.

Doesn't matter it aired on ABC--still made by Fox :lol:

OK, you're right. But it still sucked. :lol:

Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002)

This time ... One of the robbers is a woman!

Actually, the first female bandit was in the third one.

One of the worst sequels EVER was Starship Troopers 2....Simply unwatchable.

That poster looks goofy and terrible.

Those words could probably sum up the movie, too. :lol:

I noticed French Stewart was in more of these movies than any other actor. Doesn't say much for his career does it?
I noticed that too.

How could I forget this masterpiece?

It played for one week in one movie theater so this is pretty much straight-to-DVD.

^I hated that one.

Almost anything Tara Reid's in is bound to be a dud. :eek:

I didn't even know they made a sequel to Starship Troopers. :eek: :lol:

There was even a Starship Troopers 3, which I didn't think was bad.

There have been some direct to DVD/VHS sequels I've enjoyed like the Tremors films.

Some of the worst straight to video sequels I have seen-

Return of the Boogeyman '94 Sequel to The Boogeyman '80, Boogeyman 2 was pretty bad also, but I think that got a theatrical release way back when.

Day of the Dead 2: Contagium

Creepshow III

House IV though technically it's House 3 since The Horror Show wasn't made as part of the franchise.



The Silent Night Deadly Night sequels were pretty bad, the later Howling sequels, the Children of the Corn sequels, Lake Placid 2, Alligator 2, The Beastmaster 3(part 2 was also bad, but that got out to the theaters), Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3, Prom Night 3 and 4, Pumkinhead sequels, The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting , Warlock 3...

Countless others, including theatrical released, and made for TV ones like Stepfather III and The Birds 2....

Wasn't there a direct to video sequel to Robocop, or am I crazy??

There was even a Starship Troopers 3, which I didn't think was bad.
Go figure. :lol:

Wasn't there a direct to video sequel to Robocop, or am I crazy??

No there was not.

The two sequels, RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3, both had theatrical releases.

The most recent "RoboCop" was a 2000 television mini-series called RoboCop: Prime Detectives.

Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3.

Did you ever see the latest one that came out last year Return to Sleepaway Camp?

No there was not.

Thanks. Did they ever do direct-to-video sequels for Hellraiser? If I overlooked it on this thread, forgive me.

The first four films had theatrical releases:
Hellraiser (1987)
Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)
Hellraiser IV: Bloodline (1996)


The last four films were straight-to-DVD:
Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)
Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002)
Hellraiser: Deader (2005)
Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)

There were EIGHT Hellraiser movies?? I only remembered 3. :eek: :lol: Thanks for letting me know.

There were EIGHT Hellraiser movies?? I only remembered 3. :eek: :lol: Thanks for letting me know.

Yes, and if the remake project that everyone's been buzzin' about the last few years comes through it will be nine.

I personally think this is one of the best horror series that went straight-to-video. A lot better compared to others that are out there.

OK, I'll take your word for it.

^I hated that one.

I don't know of anyone who liked this one. Wicked Prayer was horrible.

The third one, Salvation, was originally supposed to go theatrical but Dimension made the decision to put it straight-to-DVD after poor test screenings.

Here is a theatrical poster for it that never got used.

I didn't think The Crow:Salavation was that bad it was better than Wicked Prayer.

I didn't think The Crow:Salavation was that bad it was better than Wicked Prayer.

Watching me take a dump on the bowl would be better than The Crow: Wicked Prayer.

IMO, that movie doesn't deserve to have "The Crow" name on it.

Did you ever see the latest one that came out last year Return to Sleepaway Camp?

I forgot to list that one. I did see it and I was totally let down by it, I was eagerly awaiting it because Felissa Rose and some of the other cast members were returning. And Robert Hiltzik writing and directing it. Obnoxious kid who I couldn't decide if we were supposed to like him or hate him. Yes he's being picked on, but he deserved it. And really it was quite obvious who the cop was from the beginning, who were they trying to kid?

Yeah, I didn't actually like that one too much either. I was eager to see it since some of the originals were returning but I thought it was a let down.

You're right about the cop. :lol:

Another note is that this was Isaac Hayes' last movie.



I'm sure you know about this but have you seen the footage from Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor?

The original fourth film was being made in the early 90s but production and filming stopped due to the company financing it going bankrupt.

The 34 minutes of footage that was made was put on to the 2002 Sleepaway Camp box set.

I've seen the trailer but I haven't seen the full footage.

And really it was quite obvious who the cop was from the beginning, who were they trying to kid?

I had to get a picture of this.

You mean you weren't fooled? :lol: :crazy:

I haven't seen Sleepaway Camp The Survivor yet, I didn't buy the Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit because I only wanted the first film.

I saw Return to Sleepaway Camp a couple of months ago and it was pretty bad. The only part I liked was Felissa Rose laughing at the end. I did read about what happened to The Lone Survivor. I liked Sleepaway Camp 2. I'll probably but that Sleepaway Camp box set someday.

I Spit On Your Grave 2: Savage Vengeance 1993

I had to get a picture of this.

You mean you weren't fooled? :lol: :crazy:

:lol:

And they should have at least had her wear gloves...it was so obvious those were a woman's hands.

I haven't seen Sleepaway Camp The Survivor yet, I didn't buy the Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit because I only wanted the first film.

Yeah 2 and 3 were pretty bad.
I have to say of the two that I like 2 a bit more as Teenage Wasteland was awful.

:lol:

And they should have at least had her wear gloves...it was so obvious those were a woman's hands.

I don't think they were trying to hide it.
If they were and we were supposed to be really surprised it's beyond laughable.

^ I agree the hands were a giveaway. Her using the electrolarynx was also stupid.

I was looking around and I didn't realize that Children of the Corn had so many direct-to-videos:

The first two were theatrical:
Children of the Corn (1984)
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1993)


The rest were direct-to-video:
Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)
Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996)
Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror (1998)
Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return (1999)
Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001)

Someone should make a thread called "Movie Franchises That Don't Know When to Quit". :eek: :lol:

I just saw an ad for the fifth Bring It On that just came out.

Yeah, I knew that Corn had sequels but I never bothered to see them all and see how many they had all together.

I also didn't realize how many famous people appeared in the series throughout the years:

- Nicholas Brendon
- Charlize Theron
- Nancy Lee Grahn
- Naomi Watts
- Karen Black
- Alexis Arquette
- Eva Mendes
- Greg Vaughan
- David Carradine

I saw the movie that Eva Mendes was in and it was awful.

That was the fifth one; also with Alexis Arquette and David Carradine.

That was the fifth one; also with Alexis Arquette and David Carradine.
David Carradine was in a Children of the Corn movie? Once again, you learn something new every day.

I forgot about Alexis and David being it. I remebered Eva's acting a lot from that movie.

I forgot about Alexis and David being it. I remebered Eva's acting a lot from that movie.

It's odd looking back at Alexis when she was a man.

She is the one with the goatee.

She pretty much looks the same. I don't think she has much feminization plastic surgery on her face.

She pretty much looks the same. I don't think she has much feminization plastic surgery on her face.

Yeah, the facial features are still pretty much the same. I still find it odd since we'll never see her look like that again.

Yeah, the facial features are still pretty much the same. I still find it odd since we'll never see her look like that again.
I'll still never forget Alexis as the Boy George wannabe in The Wedding Singer. :rofl:

House of the Dead II (2006); sequel to the 2003 Uwe Boll film House of the Dead.

It's pretty much a given that when the theatrical film is a stinker that the straight-to-dvd movie is going to be worse.

It also doesn't help that a character who was killed off in the first one comes back in the sequel with no explanation.

I saw The Substitute part 2. I might've seen part 3, i don't remember. I liked part 2. Michael Michele's fine ass was in the 2nd one and she got beat up and killed by the asian guy who plays on Law And Order SVU. I felt bad for her during that scene because i don't like to see women getting beat up by men.

I found myself bored a few nights ago so I decided to browse YouTube's free movies to see what they had and they have The Substitute 2: School's Out there.

It's one of those so-bad-it's-good type of films. It's a typical low budget action flick from the late 90s.

I love how the school has a huge war going on inside with machine guns and gas explosions and then they are open the next day.

The asian guy who is the villain is B.D. Wong; most known as the priest from OZ.


I wasn't aware that Treat Williams did two more Substitute films after this. I may track them down.

I love those movies they are fun to watch sometimes. I have seen the other two sequels. One takes place at a college were Treat's character investigates a steroid ring that effects the school's football program. That movie was ok. I really didn't like the other sequel which takes place at a military school.

I would say...Any Disney Direct-to-Video Sequel!

I read up on the two sequels; I might see them soon.
