re: Movies that have no right to be as good/entertaining as they are

Psycho II Making a sequel to Psycho 25 years later to capitalize on the 80s slasher craze sounds like a disaster. Yet the movie is an absolute banger and worthy sequel. Perkins gives an even better performance as Norman Bates and perfects the character.

deep pull. and a solid choice - really a great movie.

my submission for this category is Young Guns II. the first Young Guns was solid, and is a complete movie beginning to end that did NOT need a sequel. however, the studio said "hold my beer" and took a solid R-rated western, made it PG-13, added the teen hearthrob-of-the-moment Christian Slater, and a Bon Jovi soundtrack, and somehow turned it into a fricking solid follow up. even the Brushy Bill Roberts stuff works.
