15 Laziest Movie Sequels Of All Time

6. Teen Wolf Too (1987)

Atlantic Releasing Corporation

Long before Jason Bateman became one of the most reliable and entertaining big-screen comedy actors in Hollywood, he had the misfortune of appearing in this awful sequel. The original Teen Wolf was by no means a classic, serving as a prime slice of mid 1980's cheese, but the follow-up blatantly recycles the plot of the original and is sequel-making at its laziest.

Bateman plays the cousin of Michael J. Fox's protagonist from the first movie, and that's pretty much all the backstory you need. From here, Teen Wolf Too plays out almost exactly the same as its predecessor, except much less entertaining. James Hampton returns as Harold Howard in the only real link to the original, this time with boxing replacing basketball as the titular teen wolf's sport of choice.

Generally regarded as one of the worst sequels ever made, Teen Wolf Too earned less than a tenth of its predecessor's $80m haul at the box office. Which is hardly surprising, given that they essentially remade the original with a slightly different setting only two years after it was released.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
