4. Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights (2004)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBGEbEqQAsY It's A Sequel To...Dirty Dancing (1987) My guess is that a fair few of us had the time of our lives watching Dirty Dancing, which means that, yes, a sequel was probably inevitable - but who would've thought such a thing would come nearly two decades after the original and at a time when absolutely none of the original cast could (or would want to, in fact) reprise their roles? "Make it anyway," said one of the producers over at Miramax. Done. Havana Nights, though, right? That sounds like it might vaguely differ from the original movie, at least, what with a new setting and all. Nope: the plot is exactly the same, though the story takes place in Cuba instead of upstate New York. The really tragic thing about all this is the fact that Havana Nights was "inspired" by a serious, dramatically-aligned screenplay about the Cuban revolution called Cuban Mine. Cuban Mine, a movie that was written with the intention of showing how idealism can be transformed into terror (seriously) was torn to shreds and bizarrely shoe-horned into this movie of this nature - so much so, that not a single line of dialogue remains in Havana Nights from that original script. And people wonder why Hollywood has given itself such a bad name.
