31 Facts About the Goofiest So Bad They're Good Movies

31 Facts About the Goofiest So Bad They're Good Movies

What makes a movie good? Moving performances from highly paid actors? Clever use of the camera to convey information in a purposeful way? The use of music to set the mood? All of these things combined-- ideally with a shark or a vampire or something so that it isn't boring?

Sure, we can appreciate our “good” homework movies-- the ones that win the Oscars or the Palm d'Or… But isn't there a magic to the “bad” movies as well? After all, who wants to sit with their friends, drink too many beers, and riff on something dreary like Spotlight? No one! That's what Speed 2: Cruise Control is for, you dummy!

Below is a list featuring some of the best of the bad: The purposefully tasteless, the trashy, the overly ambitious, the cynical sequels that make us wonder if maybe movies were a mistake. A very good mistake that you can have a

31 Mean Girls 2

WORST SEQUELS EVER MEAN GIRLS 2 At the end of Mean Girls the Plastics realize they're, well, mean girls, and we even see Regina George becoming a better person-so of course, the crappy sequel had to ditch all that. The only continuity between both movies is Principal Duvall, played by the great Tim Meadows (God bless his soul). CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

30 Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

WORST SEQUELS EVER BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2 A classy documentary director, Joe Berliner, was hired for this film. But wanting to make it marketable, Artisan screwed up his vision and made him ditch all the slow build-up for more blood and exposition- the exact opposite of the 1999 original. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

29 Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

WORST SEQUELS EVER BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2 The 1999 original was produced by Haxan Films and distributed by Artisan. Following its success, Artisan wanted a sequel right away, but Haxan wanted to wait until the trend died out. Artisan just went with it-and this was the result.

28 Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2

WORST SEQUELS EVER CUPID BIRL BB EN BY SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2 Fun fact: Jon Voight seems to have lost his mind. Не was an executive producer for the first Baby Geniuses, proudly announced the sequel, and even based his Superbabies character on Josef Mengele. knbh CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

27 Jaws: The Revenge

WORST SEQUELS EVER JAWS: THE REVENGE So this film was directed by a nobody, right? Nope. Joseph Sargent had a long career on movies and TV. In fact, he directed the two-hour Kojak pilot in 1973, which Spielberg himself credited for inspiring him to hire Lorraine Gary to play Jaws' Ellen Brody (leading to her prominent role in this fourth part). CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

26 Jaws: The Revenge

WORST SEQUELS EVER JAWS: THE REVENGE Universal wanted the movie out ASAP, since they were having financial trouble and Jaws 3D had made bank. But they also gave complete writing and directing freedom to Joseph Sargent, who despite being told to make it a human story, could only make the plot interesting with a friggin' paranormal angle. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

25 Universal Soldier: The Return

WORST SEQUELS EVER UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN Nobody remembers this horrid sequel, which means there is still some sanity left in the world. If we had to remember one thing about it, though, it'd be the Megadeth music video. The song is pure '90s dance club industrial-rock lameness, and the video includes Van Damme and Bill Goldberg. It's awful. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

24 American Psycho II: All American Girl

WORST SEQUELS EVER AMERICAN PSYCHO II: ALL AMERICAN GIRL Mila Kunis feared this would ruin her career. About a possible third film, she said, Please- somebody stop this. Write a petition. When I did the second one, I didn't know it would be American Psycho II. It was supposed to be a different project, and it was re-edited, but, ooh ... I don't know. Bad.

23 Staying Alive

WORST SEQUELS EVER STAYING ALIVE The Saturday Night Fever sequel has an annoying Rocky underdog story feel, which was, of course, the result of Sylvester Stallone directing. But Stallone himself only became involved with the project after Travolta spent years rejecting darkers script, then saw Rocky III and went, yes, that is what I want. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

22 Xanadu

... TELL US NOW. XANADU Evelyn C. tells us, It has Olivia Newton-John and roller-skates. Two things that seem magical in my book. Especially, in the time it was released. I don't care if it was the inspiration for The Razzies. It had razzle dazzle to me. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

21 The Room

... TELL US NOW. THE ROOM Noah U. says, It is the peak of unintentional comedy. It's the only film where nothing works, but it manages to be entertaining on a level that few films reach because it's so compellingly strange. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

20 The Velocipastor

... TELL US NOW. THE VELOCIPASTOR Kurt I. tells US, It's such a super bad movie that I can't even explain and wonder why it even got made in the first place. That's also the reason why it's also good, the refreshing plot, dirt cheap production and hilarious scenes are what got me. I'm having mixed feelings about this. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

19 Son of the Mask

WORST SEQUELS EVER SON OF THE MASK Sequel talk began immediately after the release of the 1994 original. Director Chuck Russell was on board, but by 1995 Jim Carrey had dropped off and the whole thing was shelved. When a 1995 Nintendo Power magazine contest offered a non-speaking role in the sequel, then, 2012's very last issue gave them the next best thing instead: money and an apology. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

18 Caddyshack II

WORST SEQUELS EVER CADDYSHACK II Initially excited, director Allan Arkush soon realized this trainwreck didn't even have a working script. Не also thought Jackie Mason was no match for the original's Rodney Dangerfield, that he couldn't make a convincing golf swing, and that he had less chemistry with his love interest than with the catering service. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

17 Space Jam: A New Legacy

WORST SEQUELS EVER 6 SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY A proposed Space Jam sequel called Skate Jam involved pro skater Tony Hawk. Before production settled on LeBron James, however, other sports- related celebrities were considered: Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan (again), Jackie Chan for Spy Jam, and Jeff Gordon for Race Jam (which you know some people would criticize for sounding political).

16 American Psycho II: All American Girl

WORST SEQUELS EVER AMERICAN PSYCHO II: ALL AMERICAN GIRL The very definition of a cash-grab, this movie was supposed to be called The Girl Who Wouldn't Die, (which sounds splattery enough), but the title was changed mid-production in order to make it a loosely-connected American Psycho sequel. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

15 Willy's Wonderland

... TELL US NOW. WILLY'S WONDERLAND Christopher F. raves, Imagine if you sent Jason Voorhees after the Five Nights at Freddy's robots, only the silent killer that brutally dismembers everyone is played by Nicolas Cage. It's so awful its amazing. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

14 Teen Witch

... TELL US NOW. TEEN WITCH David А. raves that the Top That sequence is one of the best cheesy 80s scenes!!! CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

13 Troll 2

... TELL US NOW. TROLL 2 Anna H. raves, My friends will take 4 hours to watch this 95 minute movie because they have to rewind and rewatch every single line of dialogue at least 5 or 6 times, laughing hysterically. I swear, they could do a live-action performance from memory at this point. It's pretty entertaining. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

12 Starship Troopers

... TELL US NOW. STARSHIP TROOPERS James F. says, It's so cheesy, and as Dizzy dies she says it's okay for me to die because I got to have sex with Johnny that one time. Like, okay. You need to get out more. But it's also a tongue-in-cheek excoriation of militarism. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

11 Speed 2: Cruise Control

WORST SEQUELS EVER SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL Speed director Jan de Bont was obsessed with a recurrent nightmare about a cruise crashing into an island. A mock-up town was built in the island of Saint Martin and then rebuilt after a hurricane, a ship's bow was powered by engines and pulled at 18 miles per hour-and the whole, 5-minute dream fulfillment ended up costing $25 million.

10 Highlander II: The Quickening

WORST SEQUELS EVER HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING Everybody knew this movie would be a disaster. As a bad omen, Christopher Lambert and Michael Ironside hurt each other while fighting with 22- pound broadswords. Lambert tried to walk out during filming, but was contractually forbidden to do so. The studio meddled so much that the director abandoned the premiere 15 minutes in. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

9 Space Jam: A New Legacy

WORST SEQUELS EVER GS SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY Original director Terence Nance left the movie because of artistic differences, and was replaced by Malcolm D. Lee, who cut a scene in which Pepé Le Pew tries to pick up a bartender. Now, we get it, as Pepé was born cancellable, but why leave A Clockwork Orange's Alex and his gang of droogs, then? CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

8 Son of the Mask

WORST SEQUELS EVER SON OF THE MASK If this movie looks like an ADHD clusterf*ck, well, that's literally star Jamie Kennedy's opinion. According to him, the original, two-hour version made more sense, was better constructed, and had scope and tones. The problem is that the studio didn't find it funny, cut 40 minutes, and added the brain-scrambling CGI of the masked baby and dog. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

7 Reign of Fire

... TELL US NOW. REIGN OF FIRE Teri H. shares, Absolutely ridiculous, but some great action sequences, and the stage production of Star Wars was kind of cool. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

6 Thankskilling

... TELL US NOW. THANKSKILLING Casey E. says, It's objectively terrible (how could a movie about a demonic turkey not be?), but that's what I love about it. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

5 Samurai Cop

... TELL US NOW. SAMURAI COP Aaron V. says, Terrible acting, ridiculous action scenes, and cringeworthy innuendo. Put it all together, it works! CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

4 Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

... TELL US NOW. ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES Donny C. says, Terrible accents, plot holes and making up historical character,s but d*mn, it's one of my all-time favorites. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **Tell Us Now: 19 Movies So Bad They're Good**

3 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

WORST SEQUELS EVER SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE Christopher Reeve was too inexperienced as a director to helm the entire project. Richard Donner, claims he was asked to return, and Wes Craven was hired, but didn't vibe with Reeve. Reeve suggested Ron Howard, but Sidney J. Furie was finally booked. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

2 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

WORST SEQUELS EVER Eh:00 S SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE After Superman III, Christopher Reeve was done with the series, but The Cannon Group convinced him with a $6 million paycheck and creative control. Reeve suggested the whole nuclear angle, as he was annoyed by the failure of arms control talks. CRACKED.COM — **Source:** **20 Facts About Some of the Worst Sequels Ever**

1 Speed 2: Cruise Control

WORST SEQUELS EVER SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL A major reason for Speed 2's failure was Keanu Reeves' disinterest in returning, but another, little- discussed factor was the absence of writer Graham Yost. Не came up with the Speed concept and wrote the original script- but studio suits thought they knew better, didn't call him back, and only gave him a lousy characters created by credit.
