MrMallard 06/10/22 6:33:33 AM #1:	Smokey and the Bandit 2. The first movie is a simple premise carried by the charisma of its main cast. Burt Reynolds and Sally Field thought the script was dogshit, but they did what they could with it and the end product is endlessly entertaining. The sequel has a needlessly complicated cargo, there's a pointless Dom DeLuise role that consists of him being a big ham with an exaggerated Italian accent, the first act is bloated and pointless and the movie feels twice as long as the first one. Not even the big setpiece at the end makes up for how laborious the rest of the movie is. The third movie is rated worse on IMDB, being a TV-length movie with Lou Reed taking over for Burt Reynolds, but it's at least a straightforward nuts-to-butts race between two worthy adversaries. --- People say friends don't destroy one another - what do they know about friends?

MrMallard 06/10/22 6:36:56 AM #3:	DeadBankerDream posted... That's literally 93% of sequels. Okay, fair judgement. Like I love Rocky movies, but I would still call Rocky 2 kinda shitty in the context of the first movie. How about this: unnecessary sequels that were especially shittier than the first movie. The real cream of the crap, the ones with zero reason to exist both past and present. Ones the retroactively ruin the first one, and poison the legacy of a much better film. Like John Wick 2 is kinda unnecessary, but also those movies are fantastic action flicks as a whole and the third movie is GOAT tier. Smokey and the Bandit 2 or Cannonball Run 2 are formulaic retreads that ruin exceptional popcorn fare. --- People say friends don't destroy one another - what do they know about friends?

RetroGamer68 06/10/22 7:52:59 AM #22:	To be fair, Smokey and the Bandit 2 was so meta about Burt Reynolds career so it deserves a bonus point. That said, it is still bad. A shame that we never got the original third movie, Smokey IS the Bandit, with Jackie Gleason playing both Sheriff Buford T. Justice and the Bandit. The test public got too confused by the same actor playing two different roles so they had to record a whole new movie. <cite>RetroGamer68 posted [p:965692683] in ITT: unnec...
