15 Most Insultingly Bad Sequels To Great Movies
1. Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
By pure coincidence, this list concludes with two awful John Landis sequels in a row. Blues Brothers 2000 proves the absolute cinematic epitome of "why the hell did you even bother?"
When the star of a hit movie dies before a sequel has been produced, that's generally a pretty decent sign from the universe not to make another. Even with the absence of not just the brilliant John Belushi but also the departed Cab Calloway, and John Candy, a two-decades-later follow-up was nevertheless released.
From the characters both new and old to the car chase, the cameos, the music and what passes for a plot, everything in Blues Brothers 2000 pales horribly compared to the energetic, scuzzy original. Belushi's absence is horribly abundant throughout, and nothing here comes close to filling the void.
