Yeah I thought Evil Dead 3 was the best of the lot too - although the other two did have that nice reek of 'cheap' - and the story lines were too good to miss - I mean, just the whole concept of "evil has taken over my hand so I have to cut it off with a chainsaw and then shoot it with my shotgun" must be the work of a genius.

But while you're talking about Army of Darkness, which ending was the best? My favourite was the one where Ash returns to Housewares.

GUYS!!! LIVE A LITTLE!!!!!!

"Ace Ventura, Pet Detective"

followed by:

"Ace Ventura II, When Nature Calls"

For soundtracks, I want each of you to rent "Dumb and Dumber" and listen to the music there.

Hell, I'm 35 and I love those songs!

Who knows, maybe it's only because I have kids!

Temple of Doom? Please, that film was just a series of gross outs that did not impress anyone.

Austin Powers 2? Same thing, just gross out jokes. The first is better.

Empire strikes back. Definately. It was superior to the original.

Star Trek 2. Its a sequel that isnt a sequel. The first film was originally to be a tv show. It was horrible, and Harve Bennet was called in to create a new film that pretended that the first one really didnt happen.

My vote for best sequel... Aliens, directors cut. Very good film.

I have to say I think Apollo 13 was much better than the first 12...

well lets see better sequels.
Young Guns 2
Rocky 2
Mission Impossible 2
Hellraiser 2
Another 48 hours
Beverly Hills Cop 2
Addams Family 2 (maybe)
Creepshow 2
well that's what I can come up with for now. the true test is think to yourself would you buy the sequel first or not buy the original at all.

Jurassic Park was stupid. The Lost World was great -- it singlehandedly brought back the monster movie!

Robocop 2
Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Irvin Kershner has a knack mimicking the original director and then making the movie even darker yet make the movie seem more polished and brighter in photography. I did find Robocop 2 more tongue-in-cheek than original, but is what it made it so fun to watch. It seemed to be self aware...
