WEBVTT - Sequels That Shouldn’t Exist + Movie Review: Challengers + Trailer Park: Transformers One 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.800 Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:04.520 am your host Movie Mike. Today, I want to share 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.680 with you a list of sequels that should not exist 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.080 because Ben Stiller was out recently saying he didn't expect 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.040 all the backlash and hate that he ended up getting 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.400 for Zoolander two, to which I say, really in the 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.040 movie review, we'll be talking about Zendaya in Challengers. Was 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.680 it as steamy as the trailer led on? And in 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.639 the trailer park? Why I am sad after watching the 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.920 new Transformers one trailer, even though the story looks pretty interesting. 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.200 So thank you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.240 Shout out to the Monday Morning movie crew. He now, 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:37.440 let's talk movies. 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.920 In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.320 one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.360 never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.920 much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with 0:00:54.200 --> 0:01:01.200 glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike's movie. 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.080 Ben Steller was blindsided by the hate and the fact 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.440 that Zulander too flop. He said, whenever it came out, 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.920 he was convinced it was going to be a hit, 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.600 and when it flopped it blindsided him. First, Zulander came 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.800 out back in two thousand and one, and when you 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:21.679 break down legacy comedies, oh that one's I was making 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.800 a list of my top fifty favorite comedy. I don't 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.160 even think Zulander would be on that list, maybe if 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.200 it was specific to the two thousands or cult comedy hits. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.520 But he said this on the David Ducoveny Fail Better 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.800 podcast and quote, I thought everybody wanted this, which I 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.400 think that is the part of a statement that makes 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.440 me see that sometimes even though to me, movies like 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.320 this seem like cash grabs, but whenever you have somebody 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.760 like Ben Steller heavily involved, I feel like that carries 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.400 a little bit more way to it. And I assume 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.920 having a movie like that in his filmography, that is 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.480 probably a question. He was asked a lot of interviews, 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.360 when are you going to make another Zoolander? When are 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.880 you going to make another Zoolander? So much so that 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.079 you start to believe, like he said that people wanted this, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.160 and then he said when the movie came out and 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.359 it flopped, it really hurt him, but it allowed him 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.360 to go and do other things and focus on things 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.519 that he kind of had in the back burner, one 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.960 of those being Severance, which came out on Apple TV 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:25.000 Plus and dominated and people loved that show waiting for 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.880 season two right now. So it kind of goes to 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.680 show you how good things can come out of bad things. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.480 I think if you do make a sequel to a comedy, 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.679 it should come out within five years of that original one. Otherwise, 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:43.360 once you start making comedies in different decades, that is 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.920 where you set yourself up for failure. And why do 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.760 I think that is is because comedy is a reflection 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.240 of that time period. And when you start making movies 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.840 in the two thousands and then wait another decade to 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.200 follow up with that, the humor is not going to 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.000 match up. What was funny in two thousand and one 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.880 with Zoolander is not going to be funny in twenty sixteen. 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.640 So I think that is a recipe for disaster. And 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.280 also when it comes to comedies, more so than any 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.880 other genre, they are very nostalgic, and what we are 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.400 really asking for when we want a sequel to a 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.480 comedy movie, we don't really want it. We just want 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.400 to be transported into a time where we found that 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.239 movie funny. I would love to go back to two 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.840 thousand and one being ten years old, all the things 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.000 I found hilarious. Then that is really what I want. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.680 I've never seen a sequel come out fifteen years after 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.760 that is better than the original one. Can it still 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.000 have its moments? Can it still be fun and quirky 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.200 like Bill and Teded coming out with one in twenty twenty. Yes, 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.080 that can happen, but it's never listened to me. What 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.400 I say is it's never going to match that original 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.160 one because what we want is that nostalgic factor. With 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.760 that being said, I have come up with the list 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.280 of sequels that should have never been made. Some of 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:03.040 these are outright offence because not only are they bad movies, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.680 but they tarnished the legacy of the original movie. So 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.520 for this list, it is all sequels that I believe 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.080 have not only been worse than its predecessor, but should 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.400 be burned into the ground because they were either cash 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.960 grabs or nostalgia base. Starting with the worst offender, the 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.000 movie I bring up so much because I hate it 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.920 with a burning passion. It is Dumb and Dumber two, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.560 and that is to that came out back in twenty fourteen, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.080 and this is where I learned. What I've just been 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.800 talking about is as much as you want to see 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.000 your favorite actors come back and portray the characters that 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.040 made you laugh, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are incredible together, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.080 and this was one. I was on that bandwagon. I 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.760 was on Reddit, following every storyline, with every script update. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.880 I was all in on the Dumb and Dumber sequel. Now, 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.720 technically it's not a direct sequel because they came out 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.280 with the prequel Dumb and Dumber or in two thousand 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.160 and three, which is even worse because they aren't even 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.839 associated with that movie. That's another one that should have 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:08.960 been made. But this is the sequel to Dumb and 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.760 Dumber that came out in ninety four and I remember 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.680 seeing that first image of them back in the Harry 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.200 and Lloyd costumes and being so excited. And I've never 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.200 been so disappointed in a sequel because none of the 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.239 jokes landed, and all the movie was was poking fun 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.240 and reminding audiences of what they did in the original one, 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.960 and that is not what we want. It's hard to 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.400 do a sequel because you need to advance what you 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.160 did in the first one and not just remind people 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.039 why that one was great and dumb and Dumber two 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.200 is the biggest offender of that Along those same lines, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.119 will stick to Jim carrey movies Son of the Mask 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.680 in two thousand and five with Jamie Kennedy. Oh, this 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.840 movie does tarnish the legacy of the Mask, which is 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.080 also a nineteen ninety four movie when Jim Carrey was 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.279 really on his run of dominance. Son of the Mask 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.560 was nothing more than a cash grab because in the 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.840 first one it's so quirky and funny, but what it 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.200 does well is all of the little side gags, and 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.760 really you need Jim Carrey in that mask to make 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.400 it funny. Son of the Mask is one of the 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.960 most brutal experiences I've ever had watching a movie, even 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.800 in two thousand and five, where you could throw anything 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.760 on the screen and my fourteen year old self would 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.600 probably laugh at it. But this one was straight awful, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:38.039 mostly due to the mask looking like a rubbery playto 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.919 piece of crap. So that is my second big offender. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.000 My third biggest offender is one that came out pretty recently, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.560 Hocus Pocus two is a movie that I just hate 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.520 that it exists because hocus Pocus won. The original has 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.200 been one of my go to Halloween movies since I 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.320 can remember. It was always Halloween time for me. When ever, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.360 I'd go to school and we'd throw on hocus Pocus 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.719 Great Memories with this movie, I'd watch it every single year, 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.600 And to me, this movie is perfect. It should not 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.440 have been touched and right now, Disney isn't a weird 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.600 place of movies that come out on Disney Plus and 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.800 movies that come out in theaters, And what they have 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.280 really done is kind of replaced their straight to VHS 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.240 straight to DVD movies and made those Disney Plus exclusives. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.560 Hocus Pocus two fell victim to that. The movie just 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.200 looks terrible. It looks like it had zero budget. You 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.000 bring back all the originals and completely waste them to 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.840 make a movie that looks like a Saturday Morning special. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.440 And Disney has done this a lot, so much so 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.600 that I almost don't count some of these sequels that 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.960 they have done because they are pretty bad. It really 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.200 shows me how much Disney has changed and has suffered 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.800 at the box office as of late, because they used 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.720 to be so dominant that they would only put out 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.920 their biggest movies in theaters, and all the sequels would 0:07:59.920 --> 0:08:02.920 go straight to VHS, which they also crushed in because 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.280 they would sell so many of them, so they would 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:10.080 create classics, and then they would have cheaply made sequels 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.120 with less money spent on animation. You wouldn't have the 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.320 same caliber of voice actors. You would rarely have people 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.160 from the original ones be on these sequels. But all 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.280 these movies I would consider should not have been remade. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.760 And I bet they regret some of these because they 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.840 could have made sequels now instead of remaking the original ones, 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.800 which we are seeing an influx up still. But Lion 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.360 King two, Cinderella to Little Mermaid two, Hunchback of Notre 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.320 Dame to move on to Bamby two, some of these 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.120 you probably forgot even happened because they were really just 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.959 a way for them to sell more DVDs and Bhs's 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.160 the only one of these movies that I liked, and 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.640 I remember going to the flea market in Dallas to 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.280 get a copy of this. Out of all these movies, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.000 this is the only one I was excited for as 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.400 a kid, and it was Lion King one and a half, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.560 which is a great movie. I haven't watch it in 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.480 a very long time. I'm not sure if it's still 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:07.120 available on Disney Plus, but it was Lion King from 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.839 the perspective of Timone and Poomba, which as a kid, 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.720 that is what I love the most from Lion King 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.640 because Poomba and Timone are hilarious. They were the best 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.760 part of that movie. They were the comedic relief. So 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.880 what you had in Lion King one and a half 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.720 was their storyline from before they meet Simba, because they 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.800 really don't encounter him until about the start of the 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.160 second act of the movie, so you get to see 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.439 all of their life before that, and then you get 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.920 to see their perspective from the final battle, which is great. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.800 So all the other ones should not have happened. Just 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.000 give me Lion King one and a half. Another more 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.120 recent offender is Aquaman two, which is one of the 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.200 worst superhero movies I've ever seen. I was quite honestly 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:54.120 surprised how big of a hit Aquaman one was. And 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.120 this one also came at a weird time of Warner 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.360 Brothers kind of closing the chapter on this DC era, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.280 and I feel like this movie was dead on arrival. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.320 It had no real chance of success. But even that 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.360 being said, I was not prepared for the annihilation on 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.960 my eyes from watching such a weak performance from Jason Momoa, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.760 but also the worst visual effects in the last decade 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.439 when it comes to superhero movies, I thought we were 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.040 past making superhero movies this bad at a time where 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.240 people are starting to be fatigued with these movies. Really 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.280 good to put this one out. They should have shelled 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.440 this movie. So I think a lot of people right 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.080 now would say any sequel to any superhero movie is 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.880 one that should not be made. Even though there's so 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.719 much hype around the latest Deadpool and Wolverine trailer in 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.560 that franchise, I actually think Deadpool two is a pretty 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.000 weak spot, and I think it brings up a great 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.360 point of in Deadpool. The first one was so successful 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.480 because it was made on a fifty eight million dollar 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.360 budget and went on to make seven hundred and eighty 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.400 two million dollars at the box office. So then you 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.800 get the sequel of Deadpool two, which I feel is 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.600 really forgettable because the charm of the first one was 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.600 due to the fact that they were working with a 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.160 smaller budget. A lot of the comedy comes from that. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.640 In the final act, whenever Deadpool is going to that 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.800 final battle, they were running out of money. They had 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.760 to cut a big amount of the budget. That's why 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.960 he forgets his guns, which leads to a much funnier 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.920 sequence of events to close out that movie and became 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.839 quintessential Deadpool. Then in the second one, they went from 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.400 fifty eight million dollars to one hundred and ten million 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.960 dollar budget, but it didn't really change much because you 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.920 have more room to breathe with a visual aspect, and 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.320 it did not really translate to much more box office 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.200 success because I think it only made four or five 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.079 more million dollars worldwide, even though they spent so much 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.720 more money on it. But in this case, sometimes I 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.600 believe a bad sequel is the bridge to a third 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.280 batter movie. So I think Deadpool two I could probably 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.080 do without. But now we get Deadpool and Wolverine, which 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.400 looks fantastic in the new trailer, which they aren't calling 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.200 this movie Deadpool three. That is what the director said. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.080 He said, this is kind of its own thing. And 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.680 I remember giving the suit so much grief whenever we 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.920 had that first look at it because I thought it 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.600 looked like a motocross suit and didn't really feel like 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.400 the comic book accurate version that I was promised, And 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.920 even though the colors are pretty similar, I just felt 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.559 like that is not what I had in my head. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.760 I wanted him to look like the iconic nineties Wolverine 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.120 that we all fell in love with back in the day. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.000 But after watching the trailer and seeing that they ripped 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.240 off the sleeves, I have to say it does look 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.520 a lot better. I still wish he had the pointy boots, 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.760 and I hope at some point he has the mask on, 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.240 even if it's a quick joke. I think with that 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.120 I would be satisfied. We have had some looks at 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.959 the posters. Maybe we are gonna get Wolverine in a mask. 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.240 I also think we're gonna get that Hulk cameo in 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.360 Dead Pull and Wolverine. There's been a lot of little 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.000 Easter eggs put out some new posters wherever you see 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.520 the reflection of Deadpool and the reflection of Wolverine in 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.079 each of their blades, which I believe is in homage 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.440 to an iconic, Incredible Hulk comic book cover. Wherever you 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.760 see Wolverine with this blades out and you see the 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.880 Hulk's reflection in the blades, one of the best comic 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.040 book covers of all time. Also, in the first trailer 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.480 we had from Deadpool and Wolverine, you see Wolverine sitting 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.120 at a table in an all white tux, which is 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.720 another reference to a comic book cover with him and 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.360 the Incredible Hulk. So I'm hoping we get that cameo. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.280 But anyway, all that to say, sometimes you need a 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.960 bad sequel to get to a better third movie. Another 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.640 instance in that is The Hangover two, which I don't 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.400 think that movie needed to be made. It is the 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.760 exact same thing as the first one, but in Bangkok. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.719 And I remember being disappointed with The Hangover two in 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.400 twenty eleven because I love The Hangover Part one, one 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.000 of my favorite comedies of all time, And even though 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.560 I didn't love the sequel, they should have done without that. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.280 I actually really enjoy The Hangover three because it goes 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.480 back to Vegas, because it goes back to what made 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.160 the first one great. But the only reason I love 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.360 that one is because we have that bad sequel in 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.280 the middle. You couldn't have gone from the Hangover one 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.160 to the Hangover three, because even more so than the 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.880 jump from one to two, it would have felt like 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.720 the exact same movie. So you get that part three 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.600 and it almost feels, even though they weren't that far apart, 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.040 kind of nostalgic for going back and reliving their days 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.280 of going to Vegas and having more and reliving some 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.320 moments from that Vegas trip. I know, on paper, it's 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.080 probably not a great movie and probably would go on 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.440 the list of trilogies that should not exist, but for me, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.240 I like it. I also think sometimes you can make 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:51.080 a movie that is so iconic that studios feel pressure 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.560 to make a sequel, movies like Jaws. You got a 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.560 sequel to it in nineteen seventy eight. You didn't have 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:02.680 Steven Spielberg directing this movie, and it paled in comparison 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.440 to that original one. Didn't have any great characters, didn't 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.960 have any excitement, and somehow, with a better budget, managed 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.600 to make Jaws look worse. And at one point, whenever 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:19.120 they finally kill Jaws again, for some reason, they made 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:25.640 Jaws roar. Here's that moment. If you haven't seen this movie, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:35.600 smile your this whole movie was chaotic, but for some 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:39.520 reason Jaws roaring like a lion and then flashing back 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.160 to the first one, the movie made no sense. So 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.600 not only is it hard to recapture what makes a 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.680 comedy great, it's also hard to recapture what makes a 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.120 thriller or horror movie great. Another case of this is 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.880 Speed to Cruise Control, which came out in nineteen ninety seven. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.000 So in the first one, they can't slow down on 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.400 the bus because there's a bomb on board and if 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.280 they slow down, it's going to explode and kill everybody 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.320 in it. They took that exact same concept and moved 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.120 it to a boat. Who thought audiences wanted to see 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.920 Speed again, but on a boat terrible. I also wanted 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:20.080 to include on this list sequels you probably forgot even happened. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:25.119 In some of these cases, people are still demanding sequels 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.400 to these movies, even though they already came out. I'm 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.000 talking about Mean Girls two came out in twenty eleven. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.400 Nobody made a peep about this, even with the musical 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.720 version coming out earlier this year. I feel most people 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.600 wanted it to be a direct sequel to the Lindsay 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.480 Lohan version, not knowing we actually got this over fifteen 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.400 years ago. Or movies like The Sandlot two, which came 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.400 out in two thousand and five, and not only did 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.360 they do this movie, but they followed it up in 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.520 two thousand and seven with The Sandlot three. So again, 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.200 you can create a movie that is so iconic that 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.480 there will always be a demand there, but just because 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.320 you could doesn't mean you should in the cases of 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:09.240 these movies. We also fairly recently got a Christmas story Christmas, 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.560 which I feel also applies to this list, But before 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.719 that we did have a direct sequel to a Christmas story. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.600 We got a Christmas Story too, which again is a 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.840 case where I feel like people forgot that that movie 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.240 happened in the middle of that. There are also some 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.159 cases of sequels that I appreciated as a kid but 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.960 now are a chore and a pain to watch, one 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:34.800 of those being Mortal Kombat Annihilation. I loved the Mortal 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.520 Kombat movies in the nineties as a kid, and I 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.439 remember when Annihilation came out. I thought it was a 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.800 pretty good movie because I loved the first one so much, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.159 played the video game so much, and I was a 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.439 big fan of the character Raptor who just looks like 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.560 sub Zero and Scorpion, but his suit is green. I 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.840 thought that was so cool. I don't know why green 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.320 was such a cool color in the nineties. It also 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.920 reminds me of the Green Ranger from Mighty morphin Power Rangers. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.000 But I thought that movie was good as a kid. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.320 Rewatching it as an adult, it is so so painful. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.000 And they are making another Mortal Kombat now, which is 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.720 a sequel to the one that came out in twenty 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.840 twenty one, which I actually thought was pretty good because 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:16.919 I think for these movies to work, they have to 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.080 feel less like the video game and more like their 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.160 own thing. So put them inside the world, but don't 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.200 try to do what they did back in the nineties. 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.080 They have officially wrapped on Mortal Kombat too, so hopefully 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.359 soon we get some kind of a release date of 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.000 when that movie is coming. Also, as a kid, I 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.200 remember loving an extremely goofy movie, which is a sequel 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.640 to one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.760 the Goofy Movie, And this was really just cashing in 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.280 on a time in the late nineties early two thousands 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.600 where extreme sports were everything. Back in the Tony Hawk days. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.080 Matt Hoffman and you could turn on the TV, primarily 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.920 on Disney Channel and see Extreme Sports because they were 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.120 so huge back then. So a lot of movies came 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.480 out year towards kids to get them excited about this. 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.840 So not the sequel I wanted to see, because it 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.600 was really just Max going to college and then competing 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.320 in a version of the X Games and Goofy comes in, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.040 So yeah, that one not so good. I also remember 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.240 in twenty fifteen, Joe Dirt two came out, which is 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.240 another instance of trying to make a comedy happen again 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.280 ten plus years later. I also wanted to include sequels. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.720 I'm glad were never made along those same lines because 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.119 we got movies like Joe Dirt to Zoolander two. But 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.640 sometimes it's okay to know when not to make a sequel. 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.160 On this list I have, I'm glad they never made 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.320 Super Bad Too, Wedding Crashers Too, which has been rumored 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.080 a lot with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson back. I 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.120 don't think this movie should be made. It's not going 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.520 to be what we wanted to be. Even movies like 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.680 Old School, two Bridesmaids two Knocked up to forty year 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:57.000 old version two. They would just not do well. So 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.040 every now and then we'll see these headlines come out, 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.320 we'll see actors be interviewed, are you gonna make another one? 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.360 Calm down with those questions, because we don't need them 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.800 in our lives. Although I do think a Pineapple Express 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.920 two would actually work because it's not so much about 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.480 the comedy in Pineapple Express. It's all the action, the 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.040 stoner comedy at its core. But it has so much 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.600 fighting and car chase scenes and people shooting each other 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.400 that I think a movie like that would actually work. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.720 But I don't really see James Franco doing a whole 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.119 lot right now. We do have some sequels that are 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:33.320 already announced that I'm hesitant about. Beatlejuice two, which we're 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:37.240 getting out later this year. That last trailer looked promising, 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.920 but it also has all of the recipe of disaster 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.719 to not live up to the original movie from Disney. 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.520 We're also getting Inside Out too later this year. Pretty 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.840 soon we're getting Zootopia two, which that's a perfect animated 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.200 movie that I don't think needs another one. That one 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.560 really hits me in the fields. So did Inside Out. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.399 But the thing with Inside Out. I think there's actually 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.040 a story to be told there because it's Riley getting 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.240 older and having these new emotions move in. I actually 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.400 think that could be pretty powerful for kids. Later this year, 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.080 we're also getting Gladiator to the thing that worries me 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.920 about that movie is I feel like it's a sequel 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.680 unlike all these other ones that no one really asks for. 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:21.000 There's not a passionate Gladiator fan base, but maybe Ridley 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.920
