In light of the boondock saints 2 movie. What other movies do not need sequels or what other movie sequals were completely ruined?

1) Boondock Saints 2. Horrible
2) The last indiana jones. Didn't see it, and won't.
3) The Hangover. Doesn't need a sequel, leave it alone
4) Lethal Weapon 5. They ended well with 4, stop there
5) Bull Durham 2? Say it ain't so
6) 300...2? WTF

I'd bet a paycheck.

The series stopped for me when Riggs got loaded up with 37 bullets and lived.

In a "movies not needing sequels" list, shouldn't you list no movies with sequels? Doesn't seem fair.

No.

On a list of "movies that do not need sequels," it seems odd to have actual sequels on that list.

Like saying Rocky 1-4 were great, but they shouldn't have made 5. Well, they had already made 3 sequels to the first one...so this/these sequels are okay, but this one is not. Just seems weird to me.

I dunno, it's just something I noticed at first.

I'd hate to see a sequel to Inglorious Basterds.

Even though I've heard people say they'd like to see another movie with nothing but Brad Pitt killing Nazis.

Synopsis
Forrest Gump is back! A little older, and wiser in his unique way, he is still running through the kaleidoscopic events of our times - and straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint when Gump & Co. begins. As always in Forrest's easy-come-easy-go life, a change in the weather is never far off... and when the opportunity to play championship football comes his way once more, Forrest is back in the limelight and in the money. But fate is a fickle lady, and he's soon out on the road selling phony encyclopedias and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. Forrest's remarkable, touching, and utterly comic odyssey has just begun: in store for him is an explosive attempt at hog farming; his own dubious recipe for adding life to New Coke; an encounter with Ollie North; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.



worst......sequel.......ever.

Did you read the book? Or are you saying bad idea for a movie? Book was funny enough to read twice. I just think Gump as the original movie was good enough though without another one to follow.

i'm saying it's an awful idea for a movie.

and that the synopsis for that book looks like an insult to the original story. the original ended the way it should have.

no need for a "forrest is broke now and back for another wacky adventure..."

Actually, if they could get all 4 GBs back for that, I'd be interested in it. I actually really like GB2.
