For Kugel: a solid contender for the shittiest sequel ever made



and yes, I'm counting Jaws: The Revenge. At least that one was filmed by a professional cinematographer.

I like the first M:I. But it’s a little like Escape from LA where Brian De Palma seems like he was pissed that he was there, and was directing it sarcastically.

It's definitely a love hate letter to the show.
If it came out nowadays with some leftist, virtue signalling nepobaby like Pedo Pascal or that dude who played Shang Chi as the lead, the Critical Guzzler & Co. would crucify it, and i would agree with them.

I didn't even know there were more sequels after part 2.

100% agree on this one. I think it started out as a series of shorts and they cobbled it all together with new footage or something. Sad way for the Tall Man to go out. RIP Angus Scrimm.

Which is why I think De Palma deserves some credit for his direction.

Oh that one is just plain bad. I’ll take Jason Takes Manhattan/Goes to Hell or Dream Child/Final Nightmare any day over that abomination.

They don't make horror sequels like they used to.

Part 4 is worth checking out.

They had a ton of unused footage from part 1 including an alternate ending, so there's this time travel storyline where characters are remembering things differently, and it's implied that events from the present are affecting the past somehow. I thought it was really inventive for a low budget sequel.

"Dick Tracy" (1990)

I watch this every summer. There are some good YouTube videos that re-evaluate it as a forgotten gem, but I've loved it since I was a kid. As I get older though, I do appreciate more and more how odd it is, largely due to the crazy casting (Dick Van Dyke as the corrupt district attorney!) that amounts to Warren Beatty just hiring all of his friends.

Occasionally I see someone lament this this didn't become a franchise, but I'm glad that it didn't. We don't need a bunch of movies that recreate this great, primary-colors-only look. We don't need any expansion of this "world". This movie and its super-simple story (Dick Tracy fights the mob!) should be singular. There's nothing wrong with that.

A Current Year entry would be all about pastel colors.
