15 Pointless Movie Sequels That Just Copied The Original

By Jack Pooley /

6. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

The Original: Four friends (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddy Prince Jr.) find themselves being stalked by a hook-handed maniac a year after they accidentally killed a man in a road accident. The Sequel: Surely one of the most hilariously unimaginative sequel titles of all time, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer at least makes it clear from the outset that it's going to be a lazy copy of the original movie (which wasn't particularly good to begin with). Hewitt and Prinze Jr., as the surviving characters from the first film, return for this sequel, finding themselves and a new gang of youngsters hunted by a still-alive Ben Willis. Throw in some more lamely unimaginative fish hook kills, a hilariously obvious twist (Will Benson = Will, Ben's son) and yet another terrible sequel-bait ending, and you've got one of Hollywood's worst ever horror follow-ups.
