10 Sequels To Popular Movies That Nobody Watched
10. Easy Rider 2: The Ride Home
Led by an endlessly talented cast, Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider is generally considered a masterpiece. With the likes of Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Hopper himself on a motorcycle-bound quest across America, the pace is unashamedly unhurried as the characters take in new sights, new people and a great deal of drugs.
It was only a modest success at the box office but its legacy as a piece that saw in the start of the 1970s (and importantly, the end of the 1960s) ensures that it remains a must-watch for any budding cinephile. The same can't be said for the ill-judged sequel that came a whole 43 years (!) later.
The film is written by and stars Phil Pitzer, a man known for... Easy Rider 2: The Ride Home. An ill-conceived passion project, it meanders and has nothing to say except, of course, that Peter Fonda's Wyatt died in 9/11. Every single aspect of it is baffling and completely misses the point of the film that inspired it. It's nothing short of a blessing that nobody ever heard of, let alone watched, this misguided continuation of a saga that shouldn't be, and for all intents and purposes isn't, a saga.
