10 More Sequels That Totally Ruined The Previous Movie's Ending

6. Julie’s Attack Doesn’t Happen - I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

In 1997, a group of teens felt their past come back to haunt them when the apparent ghost of a person they ran over the previous year returned to pick them off one-by-one. 

This is a brief summation of I Know What You Did Last Summer, a slasher flick with a nineties dream cast of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. 

Though not all of those names made it through the movie, there were enough living superstars left to make a sequel - the imaginatively titled I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

That film opens with Hewitt and Prinze’s characters, Julie and Ray, off on holiday to The Bahamas. There, they- hang on a second. Didn’t something really awful happen to Julie at the end of the last picture? 

In the very final shot of the first movie, Julie is at home, seemingly safe, when a mysterious figure attacks her whilst she’s in the shower. And yet, here she is, completely unharmed. 

There’s every chance that the final attack could have been a hallucination, but if it was, then the sequel made no effort to explain that.
