Re: Worst Movie Trilogies
When I read the subject line, I was thinking the worst set of three movies. You seem to be going with good movies that have terrible sequels.
Was there more than one Caddyshack sequel? Or does Caddyshack II simply contain so much awfulness that it counts as two horrible movies? (I wouldn't argue that point).
The Smokey and the Bandit sequels were awful. No argument there.
How about The Punisher? Three movies. Three actors. Two reboots. All ****. To be fair, I thought Thomas Jane was good in the role, but his was so bad Mrs. OOP and I nearly walked out. I wanted to, but she hates to do that.
Funny thing is Jane loves playing the character so much, that he made this. http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/07/16/punisher-comic-con-thomas-jane/
It's a little slow at first, but I actually thought it was better than all three movies.

No. The worst ever is the alleged Highlander movies made after the original.

Re: Worst Movie Trilogies
Oh, come on. How can you not like a sci-fi/fantasy series in which each sequel (and the television show) so consistently pisses on the continuity of the original. The best part was that the first sequel was so bad that they just act like it never happened in the movies and the TV show.
And yes, I admit it. I liked the show. Hey, somebody had to be watching. It lasted a few years and even produced a spin-off.

In an interview in the new GQ, Keanu Reeves talks about the script for Bill & Ted III. Please reserve a spot in your worst trilogy list in case it gets made.

Disagree. Bill and Ted I was great, and II was very funny.UIt would have to be a really sucky III to bring it all down.

Maybe not the worst, but the Star Wars prequels would win the "most disappointing" award.

Ishtar or Heaven's Gate is the worst movie trilogy.
Oh wait ... it has to be three movies and not just one?
Never mind.

Yeah, I think some people need the word "trilogy" explained to them...

Re: Worst Movie Trilogies
That was not directed at you. At least there were three Highlander movies... Caddyshack is somehow mentioned and it only has one sequel...
Highlander 2 isn't far below the Star Wars prequels as most disappointed I've been at the theater. I was dying to see that movie and holy **** did it suck...

Slap Shot is an all-time classic. Slap Shot II and III are horrific, a complete abomination. I have never seen them but don't need to to stand by my opinion which I am sure our boy JJ will back up.

Re: Worst Movie Trilogies
Is TKO getting back together?! I own Breakin' and Breakin' II in the original, oversized VHS boxes. Only ebay purchase I ever made, and it was because I loved the movies as a kid and they were out of print back around 2000. A few months after I bought them on ebay, both movies were re-released on DVD. If I ever happen to get two dogs, I might just name them Turbo and Ozone.

Re: Worst Movie Trilogies
When did that ever seem like a good idea?
I'll throw the Transformers trilogy in the mix. I finally got around to watching Dark Side of the Moon this week and wasn't impressed –– not that I was expecting much in the first place. Those movies have taken a quick plunge since the first. And there's supposed to be a fourth movie released in 2014.

I remember years and years ago I read a story about Caddyshack 2 and Harold Ramis was going to write it and then Rodney backed out and then Ramis dropped out and the whole thing went to ****...

I think he's made more than that. I saw one of them and it was among the worst things I've ever seen. But his audience loves him, so more power to him...

When that came out I was working for a small movie mag and was supposed to write a feature on it. got invited to a screener but blew it off to go drink somewhere and ended up pounding out something using canned, made up press-kit quotes from Jackie Mason. I figured nobody would care that I never actually saw the movie and I was right.
