10 Horrifically Unnecessary Movie Sequels That Nobody Wanted

6. Basic Instict 2: Risk Addiction (2006)

ML (3)Basic Instict 2. Yeah, this exists. And would you believe it if I told you that it actually stars Sharon Stone in the central role? Please do. I'm telling the truth. Presumably the product of her own ego and the fact that she needed to make a quick buck fast, Stone leapt upon the chance to gift all those Basic Instinct fans who have been hammering for a sequel the follow-up they deserved. Or, at least, it would be nice to imagine that's what happened. Risk Addiction actually happened, I think, because Sharon Stone wanted to play "middle-aged" sexy. It must be pretty tough if you used to be the sexiest woman in Hollywood, after all, which can be Stone's only real reason for getting back into character as crime novelist and suspected serial killer Catherine Trammell. The plot has her on the run from Scotland Yard after a horrific masturbation-induced car accident (you read that right) gets her into some serious trouble. There's a character in this called Dr. Michael Glass. I don't know why that's funny. It probably isn't. And yet... that's the most interesting thing about the whole movie. Go figure.
