Some of these answers are ridiculous. The topic isn't "bad sequels", or "sequeals that suck". it's Sequels with NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER to part 1. For instance: - American Psycho 2: Main character killed the main character from part 1 and studies him as a hobby. I'd call that a connection. - Ninja Turtles III: WTF? It has the freaking Ninja Turtles, Splinter, April, and Casey Jones in it. How is that not connected? - Nightmare On Elm Street 2: It's a Freddy Krueger movie. - Predator 2: Absolutely a direct sequel. They even have a conversation about part 1. - Living Dead series: They're all about the Living Dead, and directed by the same guy. That's a connection. - Leprechaun: They all have the Leprechaun in them. - Bond films: They're all James Bond films. - Jason X: It was about Jason in the future. Sure, most people thought it sucked, but how is there no connection? - Mario games: They are all Mario games. There's even an argument to be made for Halloween 3 (btw, has anyone mentioned that yet?). During the film, they see an ad for part 1 on tv. Unless of course, we're referring only to linear plot connections. Even then, that only negates Bond and Halloween 3 from my list. So you had nothing to add, no examples of your own...you just needed to tell everyone that their answers were "ridiculous". Good for you. He's on point though.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Vin Diesel cameo does not count) Actually it kinda does. That's what made it in canon with the rest of the franchise, as later elaborated on in IV (which was actually considered III, but whatever, chronology is wacky for those movies).

Not in the least. I just find it strange to come into a thread specifically to tell everyone their answers are ridiculous, and then have no better examples to offer. I myself would feel strange about correcting peoples answers when I had none of my own. Further, he corrected something that didn't need to be corrected. Were you truly not aware that Mario is in the Mario games? Or that Freddy is in A Nightmare on Elm St. 2? Or that James Bond is in all the James Bond films? I specifically stated in my post that Mario and Freddy were connections to the previous entries, but that the stood out from a storyline perspective. And yet still, he needed to reiterate it. I guess I just didn't realize how important being right was...

The choices are kinda ridicuous though, as while some may be loosely connected, they do still have connections to the original movie.

It's obviously not a very common thing, these sequels with NO connection. So rather than try to participate in the thread, we should've just let it die after the first post?

Did people just skip over the first line of the opening post then? Or very little connection.

Troll 2 wins this one, guys. Legendarily awful, and completely unconnected to the first film. All three Troll movies aren't connected to one another. Troll 2 was originally named Goblins, than they did it what Italiens always did in the 80's: Rip-off american movies. Have you guys ever heard of Terminator 2? I bet you haven't. Terminator 2 was made in 1990 in Italy by Bruno Mattei and despite the title was more a copy of Aliens Troll 3 wasn't about trolls or goblins, but killer plants. Then there was another Troll 3, originally called Quest for the mighty sword and in some countries named Ator 3 A fine example would be Turkish Star Wars. The first one is legendary. Then they thought, they should make a sequel, except for a short cameo of Cuneyt Arkin "The son of the man who saved the world" aka Turkish Star Wars 2 has nothing really to do with the movie. A good example would be The Blair Witch Project 2: Book of Shadows. It hasn't anything really to do with the first movie. Black Belt Jones 2 had nothing to do with the Jim Kelly movie.

For instance: blah,blah,snip - Mario games: They are all Mario games. Except for Super Mario Bros. 2, which was a completely different title altogether before Nintendo of America pasted Mario's likeness all over it for the gaijin. It's not a Mario game. And Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land. Where you play as a villain, Wario, and not Mario. Which means it has nothing to do with 'Super Mario' (y'know, the first NES game) at all. And Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Where you play as Yoshi, and not Mario. Which means it has nothing to do with 'Super Mario (y'know, the first NES game) at all. And... well I can't imagine if you've ever heard of some random indie flick like Halloween 3 if you didn't even know about the basic Mario stuff, so nevermind...

I am almost ashamed to admit that I know that the following three movies are completely unrelated:
Dark Harvest Dark Harvest 2 Dark Harvest 3

Five pages. I went through five pages, and I can't believe I'm the first one to say Halloween III: Season of the Witch. For shame.

There was another connection to the first Nightmare on Elm Street in NOES 2: Freddy's Revenge: The main characters find Nancy Thompson's diary in a closet. Which is because he's living in Nancy's house. Also, over in Italy, Evil Dead and Evil Dead II were released as La Casa and La Casa 2. Then, some Italian filmmakers made La Casa 3, La Casa 4, and La Casa 5. The premise of people in a house of some kind dealing with demons is the same, but there's a distinct lack of Bruce Campbell or any of the Raimi's (though, to make up for it, La Casa 4 stars David Hasslehoff and Linda Blair).

Prom Night 2: Hello Mary Lou
No connection to the original outside of the Prom Night name.
The Return of Dr. X (1938)
The only thing it shared with the original Doctor X was the studio (First National/Warner Bros.)

Return to Sleepaway camp, kind of (the film is a direct sequel to the first one, ignoring 2&3, which WERE related to the first one as well,,confused yet?) House 3 (In America it was a shocker wannabee called The Horror Show, but overseas it was called House 3. However, this meant when they DID make a sequel to the first two house films, it had to be called House IV, despite the fact that there was no REAL House 3,,ARRGHH!)
