“Terrible Two: 10 Film Sequels You’ve Never Heard Of”

I normally feature this type of thing in Saturday Hot Links, but this one from Flavorwire really caught me by surprise, so many sequels I’d never heard of before. Thought you might find it equally surprising. Here they are:

S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale (2009)

Romy & Michele: In the Beginning (2005)

Splash, Too (1988)

Bambi II (2006)

Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002)

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr. (2009)

My Summer Story (1994) — sequel to A Christmas Story

Legally Blondes (2009)

The Birds II: Land’s End (1994)

The Jerk, Too (1984)

I think it’s fair to say this collection represents sequelitis to the nth degree. I mean seriously:

From a writing standpoint, we can take solace in that some fellow scribes got paid for these gigs, but other than that, is there anything to recommend these type of sequels?

Any other sequels that have crawled out from underneath Hollywood’s rocks that might have somehow slipped past our collective consciousness?
