10 Dumb Movie Sequels That Had Nothing To Do With The Originals

6. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6PFEzkwgoU It's A Sequel To... Under Siege (1992) Here's a funny story: Under Siege 2: Dark Territory started life as a movie that had nothing to do with Under Siege at all. But when Steven Seagal decided to get involved, the producers thought it would just be easier if they called the movie a sequel to that other "good" one they made, and had Seagal reprise his role as Casey Ryback, a chef with badass ninja skills and a weak spot for goofy one-liners. Now some terrorists are hi-jacking the train that Ryback conveniently gets on, because that way they can't be tracked, and Under Siege 2 is go. The fact that this was once another, unrelated script that got unfairly shoe-horned into a sequel really shows. There's no link between the two except for the title and the fact that Steven Seagal is playing a character with the same name. They're not even that similar. It's probably easier, in fact, if you pretend that this Casey Ryback is just another guy with that name, and the two men are completely different badasses that happened to get into terrorist-based situations. If you want.
