re: Sequels that totally disregarded the orginial?

Blair Witch 2... worst movie I ever paid good $$ to see, FWIW...

while Halloween 3 had zero mention of anything anywhere

Maybe that's why I don't remember it since they took a "break" from Myers.

I hate movies like that...they're not even sequels but hustlers of the movies name...buying the title for its good will/built-in audience.

I am going to take a different route on this one. I will say movies like The Sandlot 2 (and I heard The Hangover 2 was the same idea). I know this sounds crazy, but they copied the first one so much that it was like they disregarded the original in terms of the audience because you were watching the same thing again although you thought there would be at least a slightly different storyline.

Halloween 3 is the clear winner here. Gets alot of hate, but seeing it around Halloween over the years I've actually grown to kinda like it

FATF: Tokyo drift
I also think batman somewhat falls in this category. Most of the batman movies are pretty stand alone and yes the characters are recurring but pretty much everything from the past is never mentioned

I would totally agree with that. All the original Batman's were stand alone movies. The only one that had any real continuity was Batman & Robin becase Robin came back.

Good call, I've never really thought of this.
