Speaking of sequels, I’m happy to announce that “Barbie 2: The Search for More Money” will continue exactly where the first movie left off,

spoiler

as Barbie experiences the wonders of the American medical industry first hand and discovers that her insurance company won’t cover her yearly gynecologist exam and scrambles to find money to cover her out-of-pocket payment before it goes to collections and ruins her credit score.

(It’s based on a true story.)

Thanks Margot. I look forward to paying Mattel some of my hard-earned pennies to watch your vagina-centric harpooning of the commercialisation of medicine.

I was scrolling through that going “Highlander 2 better be at the top” then I was thinking “what could be worse?” but I’ll allow that. I do have problems with Airplane 2 being in there though.

Agreed. Airplane 2 had William Shatner parodying William Shatner.

Although isn’t that just his career?

It’s missing probably the worst sequel ever, Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace. Holy god was that movie awful. Maybe the list didn’t include it because it did so poorly that not enough people were disappointed.

I’m just glad Highlander 2 was near the top.

No Zapped Again?

No Porky’s 2?

Ghostbusters 2 is sorely missing from this list. Although there may be one good reason: it’s self aware about its quality and tells you this in the form of the saddest kids’ party ever. Yes kids, my take is that someone smuggled a metaphorical warning into the script: run while you still can, because it is going to be much worse.

I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve heard the story that Bill Murray also dislikes the second film because the script they filmed was apparently very different to the one that got him to sign on to the sequel.
