Sequel Showdown
🕑 Added 2024-11-05 17:41:04 +0000 UTCPopcorn Part Deux! Here we go!
Here are some sequels that deserve to be watched!! I kept them to just #2's if that makes sense! Also I know people love all of these so I think it will be a close one!
I know these are not ALL the sequels I have to watch but there will be future polls that will include those like Rambo 2, Predator 2 etc. I also need to do a "Finish this series already poll"
Ok Vote Away!
Poll will end on Nov 8th! Vote only once this time!

As much as I appreciate the Donner cut of “Superman II” it’s not the quality of the Lester theatrical cut. This is not the fault of Donner it’s just the fact that a lot of his material was never filmed in a final form and is rough. The theatrical cut is the only way to go, and I believe in many ways the Theatrical cut of “Superman II” is superior to “Superman”
Clay F
I respectfully disagree. They should skip Crocodile Dundee 2
John Mulbury
You and Carly still have to watch Crocodile Dundee 2.
Chris Thom
On Patreon site on laptop.
Clay F
VM, my thought also.. Though, I would be okay with the Pink Panther sequel.
Richard Maurer
Austin Powers and Superman fans, because she’ll probably watch both of them.
Richard Maurer
The Fly lost by one vote, to what I don’t remember.
Stick Figure Studios
@Clay: I agree.
Stick Figure Studios
@Chris: Are you on the app or the website?
Chris Thom
Yeah I see 27 to 27 percent still.
Chris Thom
She said a movie won by four votes once.
V M
Who won?
V M
two of my favorite movies, the sting and dog day afternoon, dont have many views, but both are really good movies, one won best picture and the other was nominated for best picture.
V M
Cassie humming the pink panther theme was the best part of her pink panther reaction
V M
Superman 2 was pretty good, the rest arent my cup of tea.
V M
3 men and a little lady isnt too good
Gray
Has a poll ever ended even before?
(Nolo)finwe
What the heck are you talking about you're the one who sounds frustrated and I don't hold anybody in contempt. I made my choice in that category and my my opinion of the ordinary nature of the movies .so swhat ? I don't care if Cassie picks one of my suggestions or not I've seen all the great classsic movies, she is the one who has not . Think there are many many truly great classic films that she has yet to experience. How to make a Golden Globe winners that would be good for her to watch , not because Id get all giddy if she did. Because we brought our understanding enjoyment of all movies and whether you like it or not it's true .
ChristopherTracy
Watch all of them eventually. They’re all pretty good movies in their own ways
Clay F
Yeah, yesterday I think I saw the actual numbers of votes on Discord. Austin Powers is winning.
Clay F
I am no expert, but for a first watch, I suggest the theatrical cut.
Stick Figure Studios
Good job, but I fear it may be a lost cause.
Stick Figure Studios
Good job... I think it may be a list cause though.
Seven Coughlin
Changed it yesterday. Appreciate the heads up though!!! TY Stick!!!
Richard Maurer
@ Jon Johns - I know, that was kind of my point. And let’s be real Bride of Frankenstein isn’t, by any stretch of the imagination, scary. My original post however was mainly about the anti-old movie bias but thanks for bringing up the anti-horror bias too.
Leroy Yohn
I can respect the opinion that it feels more complete, but the Donner cut is tonally more in line with the original.
Leroy Yohn
oh definitely... would not want to spoil it for sure. just letting her know there are 2 very imo distinctly different vision/versions of the movies to watch to fully appreciate Superman 2
bgb1975
I think this is worthy of another thread after PiB has seen them both so we can discuss without spoiling it for Cassie!
bgb1975
Done. Vote changed from Grumpier to Soup 2.
Jon Johns
Richard, Cassie intentionally left off any sequels to monster, horror, and horror-adjacent films.
Jon Johns
Nolo, I guess I understand your frustration that Cassie is not choosing to watch the films you believe are 'great', but do you understand the purpose of the poll? Do you take into consideration at all the mass majority of both Patreon members, and Youtube members want these movies? Do you hold the rest of us in such contempt that you think our taste is trash? And that only your choices should be watched? You mentioned in your original post, "Out of the equation" and I am curious, what sequels to what movies that she has watched are left off this poll? If you are just generally saying, she should not watch sequels, but instead choose to watch other movies, and not do polls... How does one make a living off that plan? One last thing, Have you upvoted or added all your 'great film' suggestions to the Request website? Just making sure that your actual choices are known, r4ecorded, and others have an opportunity to also upvote them.
Stick Figure Studios
If you haven't already, now's your chance to change your vote because SUPERMAN is now losing to AUSTIN POWERS. :-(
Stick Figure Studios
@Chris - It's a wonderful movie. Utterly hilarious (dinner than its predecessor) and introduces more of the characters that would record throughout the series.
Stick Figure Studios
@Clarence - I wouldn't go that far myself. It's a great theme and I love it (I remember it from those "Inspector" cartoons I used to watch as as kids), but Mancini's "Pink Panther" theme is transcendant, truly on of the greatest movie themes ever written.
Stick Figure Studios
It's a fascinating experiment and I'm glad Donner got the chance to do it, but it's incomplete and really best watched after the theatrical cut (which is still the better film imo) simply for comparison. I hope Cassie watches Lester's version instead. It is an actual movie. Donner's cut is an extended special feature.
Stick Figure Studios
According to the actual numbers, AUSTIN POWERS Is ahead of SUPERMAN 2 By about 10 votes. :-(
Leroy Yohn
I highly recommend the Richard Donner Cut of Superman 2. The short version of the story is Richard Donner was replaced with another director who made some... interesting choices tonally. In 2006 Warner Bros. let Richard Donner assemble the best version of what his intent was from available footage of his original version and the replacement director's footage.
Stick Figure Studios
Okay. I just switched to an online version (I was previously looking at it on my patreon app) and I see them both tied at 27%. The question then becomes: which one is more recent?
Stick Figure Studios
Maybe there's something wrong with the voting machines. ;-)
V M
That's weird. Shows 27% and 27% here.
Stick Figure Studios
On my screen it says AUSTIN has 27% and SUPERMAN has 26%.
V M
Where do you see the number of votes? All I see is Superman 2 and Austin Powers are tied at 27%
Clarence Newman
Did I write this post? I could've written this post.
Stick Figure Studios
The first one is good. The second one is bad. The third one is good.
Stick Figure Studios
I agree. The first 5 minutes alone of GOLD MEMBER would make the whole reaction worth it. TSWSM Is the weakest of the three imo.
Stick Figure Studios
She said in a chat that she might put in a poll which version to watch... which terrifies me.
Stick Figure Studios
And AUSTIN POWERS pulls ahead, so if any of you were considering switching your vote to SUPERMAN 2, now's the time.
Keith Jones
I’m probably good for 100
Keith Jones
I love this comment, but now will have to rewatch and try to apply a more “sterile“ watch.
Keith Jones
Heart wants to vote for Dundy 2, but Superman2 is a close second and Austin must be stopped…
bgb1975
I'm assuming she plans on watching the theatrical version, but I have been unsuccessfully canvassing for the Donner cut!
OneManReactionFaction
If Superman 2 wins, the question then becomes: Original theatrical release or the Donnor Cut?
Mark White
Agree
Clarence Newman
The theme tune is better than The Pink Panther too.
Clarence Newman
Alas, you speak the truth.
V M
If it was Goldmember I probably wouldve voted for Austin Powers
RandyCC
Definitely Austin Powers. Mini-me is not to be missed. Also, Zip-it Scott (I'll say no more). :)
fish_thefilmcollector
If she watches the theatrical cut I doubt she'd ever watch the Donner Cut. I'll be happy either way.
Chris Thom
Had never heard of it before this poll.
phillip giroux
I know it'll never win, but I think Cassie would love 3 Men and a Little Lady.
Chris Thom
I've never heard of Shot in the Dark. But the support for it is making me interested.
Philip G.
It has no shot so place your vote somewhere that matters lol
Stick Figure Studios
@(Nolo)fine - Well, remember that the whole point of this poll was to select a sequel (one that is only the second entry in a series) to a movie Cassie has already seen and she has watched SUPERMAN, GRUMPY OLD MEN, BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVANTURE, etc. Within those parameters, what classic titles would you have included?
Stick Figure Studios
@Clay: He didn't say "most" are mediocre. He said "all" are mediocre.
Clay F
Good point Stick
Clay F
Pre-1970 movie typically don't stand a chance in a poll with post-1970 movies.
Clay F
Agree that most are mediocre.
Clay F
Agree
bgb1975
Hmmm.....I dunno....Can't say I'm not a hardcore fan, but there were certain things in the Donner Cut that just made it so much better, IMHO. Unfortunately can't get into them without major spoilers.....
bgb1975
"Jeepers, Mr. White...that's terrible!" Jackie Cooper was a great Mr. White. Everyone here knows that he was one of the original "Little Rascals", right?
bgb1975
Hard choice here. I went with Grumpier, not necessarily because I think it's the best movie listed, but because I think Cassie's (and hopefully Carly's) reaction to this one would be the most fun to watch. Would also be happy with Superman II or A Shot in the Dark.
Clarence Newman
Each to their own, Nolo, but it kind of depends on what you're looking for. Croc Dundee 2 is EXACTLY what I wanted in the sequel to Croc 1. Superman 2 is a definite step up from Supe 1. Three Men and a Little Lady? Not our cup of tea maybe, but Cassie would love it.
Richard Maurer
Happens to me a lot too. I often put one of these ;-) or ! at the end of a sentence to show I’m joking. The ! because I’m almost never that enthusiastic.
(Nolo)finwe
ive seen every one except "grumpier" s ome are ok movies but hardly anything to write home . Jewel of the Niles awful bogus adventure it's not up to speed . Three men and a little lady ? give me a break . Superman II that was good , but the girls have classics of every genre from every decade that they haven't seen , it just seems to me to be a waste ...just sayin
JPDotCom23
Oh yes, I guess I meant 3, I gotta go back and see if I saw her reaction to 2. And yes, I, too, believe she should watch Part 3. While there's been a lot of backlast about Coppola's daughter being cast in a key role, like Roger Ebert, I didn't mind Sofia Coppola in the role, she brought a certain amount of vulnerability and simplicity to the role that gave that situation with Vincent a more unique outcome. Yes, I agree, it's hard to set that aside and watch the movie on its own merit but once you do overlook the flawed acting by the director's daughter, you'll see what a great story this is, what a good movie this is, and certainly, one of Pacino's best performances. His scenes with Diane Keaon as Kay, were magical. I kept telling people to watch this on its own merit and try not to compare it to the first two, because what movie could stay in the same league as them. Coppola was under tremendous pressure to finish the movie for Christmas 1990, had he been given more time, this movie would've been as close to perfect with the first two, but it isn't, it needs to be viewed on its own, not overshadowed by its parent movies.
Clarence Newman
Rule of thumb, Richard - I'm always joking. Except when I'm not, but that will always be obvious. It's an Emperor's Clothes kind of thing.
Richard Maurer
@Clarence - hard to tell sometimes.
Richard Maurer
@V M - bias are generally evil, they lead to close-mindedness. But we all have them.
Clarence Newman
Agreed again.
Gray
lets just keep it at 27% each then she has to watch both :D
Clarence Newman
To be fair, most of those YT views are me.
Clarence Newman
Hell, I was joking, but....muzzle toff!
Clarence Newman
I don't like this oppressive "only one vote" stuff. I need to vote at least 50 more times for A Shot In the Dark.
Stick Figure Studios
All are mediocre? You obviously haven't seen all of them.
Doc Savage
For the record, Superman 1 & 2 were filmed together but edited into 2 parts. Also Superman Returns is the intended and most Donner-esc 3rd and final installment which I personally love alongside the 1st two. In my mind, Superman 3 & 4 do not exist and should not be watched.
V M
Yeah, dont throw away your vote. Superman
V M
It has a couple funny moments. Nowhere near as good as the first.
V M
Recency bias is evil. EVIL I TELLS YA
V M
The first two Austin Powers movies were bad. Goldmember is good.
Elias Shaikh
One of Anthony Perkins’ last performances was an unsold TV sitcom pilot called Ghost Writer and he was great, (I didn’t know he could do comedy).
Chris Thom
Ok good. Because the one with the epic moon battle is pretty spotty. lol
Celeste McAllister
Yep,banished to the Phantom Zone. ;
Chris Thom
Happy Birthday!!
Chris Thom
Anthony Perkins is a solid actor. Not a bad director, too.
Chris Thom
Still haven't seen that yet.
Chris Thom
Damn Croc has almost 500k views? Forgot what a big hit that movie was. Gen-X can tell us best I guess.
Chris Thom
Pretty much a sausage fest on all votes Tonda. Apologies.
Chris Thom
2 is the one with Zod and the floating squares of banishment?
Chris Thom
Another Austin Powers reaction would be hilarious...but Superman 2 seems more essential. Also heard there's a good doc out right now about Reeves and family.
(Nolo)finwe
All of these are mediocre you’re leaving so many classics out of the equation
Marja
Peter Sellers is such an important person in the comedy fabric, and his legacy is felt by all major comedic actors and performers, from Monty Python, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy to Will Ferrell, Sacha Baron Cohen and the guys behind This Is Spinal Tap. His work is worth investigating, watching and ingesting. To see him play multiple roles in Dr. Strangelove and then 15 years later get an Oscar nom for Being There, a political satire, is outrageous and heartbreaking, as he died at the age of 54 (the year after Being There was released).
Marja
And I always think: isn’t that the point - to expose yourself to movies you’ve never seen before? But no, I’m always wrong. Which is a shame because A Shot in the Dark set the standard, the blueprint for so much to follow. And Peter Sellers is a comedy legend in a way that we seldom see these days, IMO.
Clay F
She didn't like Blade. The Blade franchise may be over on the channel.
Clay F
Grumpier Old Men is a great example of why to avoid sequels generally. Has some great old actors but just not a good movie. Not as funny as the first. A "wheezier" retread cash grab. "The heart of the first one is replaced by extra fart jokes."
Chris
even if it loses the poll watch A Shot in the Dark!!
Gro Do
What? No Nuclear Man?!
Rob
Superman 2 is a great sequel. Better than the original. Definitely stop after 2, though
Celeste McAllister
I watched along Jenn Murray's reaction two years back♡
Stick Figure Studios
I was just reading Dickens.
Joe
I've seen many requests for "Grumpier Old Men" also.
Celeste McAllister
I went with 'Sup2'...."That's why they call them Terrorists Kent!".....
David Little
greatest running gags throughout the movie that just build
ROBERT CLARK
This is a real tough one. There are 4 films in hear which I really like and think you'll really enjoy
Jeffrey Joll
A Shot in the Dark is a great comedy but I suspect that few people in this group have seen it.
Richard Maurer
Superman 2 is winning at this point. If it’s losing later on I’ll consider changing my vote.
Clarence Newman
Exactly, Stick. I think Michael's story in 3 would be very cathartic for Cassie. Pacino is just brilliant.
Clarence Newman
I agree with both of you. Cassie needs to watch it, but it won't win here and she and Carly will pick it for Austrralia Day. If they don't, well, it's just an insult to all their Aussie fans.
Clarence Newman
The sequel is brilliant! People who don't vote for it suck! It's very simple.
Clarence Newman
We'll be badgering her non-stop until she watches that one. She's not getting away.
Clarence Newman
Richard. Please unvote Austin Powers and vote for Superman 2. I will then vote for Bride of Frankenstein when it's next on a poll. Deal?
Clarence Newman
Agreed
Seven Coughlin
Youre not wrong and I will lol
Stick Figure Studios
Certainly the first 5 minutes were.
Stick Figure Studios
I would keep an eye on it over the next few days, because I highly doubt it's going to catch up to either of the two front runners. If it doesn't, you might consider switching your boat back to SUPERMAN 2 because it actually has a chance of winning.
Seven Coughlin
I picked grumpier old men over Superman because I know u will love that movie!!! Hope it wins!
V M
Goldmember was the best/funniest Austin Powers movie by far.
Stick Figure Studios
I think she should watch the theatrical cut first.
Stick Figure Studios
Same
Stick Figure Studios
Just the trailer had me in tears.
Stick Figure Studios
Agree on the Donner cut.
Clarence Newman
Yes, but the Pink Panther was a crap movie intended as a vehicle for an over-the-hill David Niven. That was the whole point of telling Cassie that she needed to watch A Shot In The Dark - so she could get a true sense of what a great character Clouseau became.
Happy Hanukkah
"I kept them to just #2's if that makes sense!" Oh my gosh! The second Austin Powers?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbRwnaiNS2Y&t=859s "Vote only once this time!" As opposed to the other election taking place! :-)
Cole Jennett
Granted it came out more recently, The Pink Panther has 77k views on YouTube versus 164k for Grumpy Old Men.
Bill Maurer
Agree. I went with Superman 2. Just as good a movie, but A Shot in the Dark is hilarious
Bill Maurer
Yes, Blade 2 is the best of all the Blade trilogy.
Clarence Newman
Sometimes the voting on these polls baffles me. Superman 2 is probably the best of the lot, so that's fine, but how is Grumpier Old Men ahead of A Shot In The Dark? There have been a few calls for Grumpier Old Men, but when Cassie watched The Pink Panther, there were a TON of people saying please please please watch Shot In The Dark so you can see Clouseau in full bloom. The opportunity to give her that arises and everyone disappears in a cloud of dust! Croc Dundee 2 is perfect for Australia Day next January, and I won't comment on Austin Powers (Cassie seems to like him), but it's a bit of a crime that the one film she would probably enjoy the most (3 Men and a Little Lady) isn't getting a sniff. I get the feeling she'll end up watching all but one of these eventually (Jewel Of The Nile is not really worth it), but for now, the numbers don't look right.
Richard Maurer
I’ve been mentioning movies like this lately just to point out how they really don’t get a fair chance. I don’t really believe they’ll get on a poll or actually win if they did.
Jimmy Reyes
Superman2 !!!!!!!
Darkhyron 2.0
Why Austin powers? Bad movies
Mike Lemon
I only mention Returns because it is a "spiritual sequel" to the Reeve's movies. But where DC really shines is the animated movies.
Silver Machine
The Donner cut is an interesting bonus. But it is incomplete with a redundant ending. It really should only be watched after seeing the theatrical cut.
Mike Lemon
I tried. It was on my list of recommended sequels in the last "upcoming."
Silver Machine
I’m thrilled that Superman 2 is winning! Did not expect it to be so popular. (Please watch the original theatrical cut! The Donner Cut is for hardcore fans only)
DustinChecksIn
Blade 2 please
Joe
Superman Returns was just average for me, Routh just didn't have any star power in the role.
Tonda DaRe
Well you can certainly tell there are more males than females on this one 😆
Shawn Kildal
I'm also hoping Cassie would consider doing the Super/Man Christopher Reeve movie as well. I hear it's incredible.
Clarence Newman
Me too, but only because Crocodile Dundee is doing less than bonzer. She'll have to keep that one for Australia Day. The lack of love for Shot In The Dark, though, is appalling.
Shawn Kildal
With the new Christopher Reeve movie coming out, I'm voting for Superman although I'm going to be still anxiously awaiting Grumpier Old Men and 3 Men and a Little Lady
YodatheHobbit
I understand that seeing Superman 2 is important, but man that is so boring to rewatch once you've seen it a million times, haha. Plus I've watched 2 or 3 others recently react to Spy Who Shagged Me last month so if that wins it's gonna feel very deja vu. I need more romantic comedies in my life lately to motivate me IRL, so there's about 4 others on here I'd rather win, but luckily whichever wins I'm sure Cassie will enjoy it.
V M
I voted for superman 2
Stick Figure Studios
Maybe all the other movies would like to step outside.
Stick Figure Studios
Absolutely. Theatrical cut first.
Stranger2Reality
Is there any movie in this poll that can even challenge him?!
Stick Figure Studios
SUPERMAN!!!
Stick Figure Studios
Kneel before him.
Stick Figure Studios
Oh, man. It's looking like it's going to come down to AUSTIN POWERS and SUPERMAN 2. If It's close enough, I hope she watches them both.
zynjams
a shot in the dark is 100% better then the pink panther
Omar
Austin!!!!!!
Ross Cicero
General Zod is the master of all he surveys
Cathleen Jennings
Cassie will LOVE 3 Men and a Little Lady - but, if it's between Austin and Superman: AUSTIN!!!!!!
Just Plain Bob
The only way “Bride of Frankenstein”, or any other classic horror movie, gets selected in a poll is if the poll is comprised entirely of classic horror movies. Recency bias is just too strong. It’s too bad, not only are they terrific films, but they are integral to any true cinephile’s education.
Bill Maurer
Superman 2 is one of the best sequels made. I love Peter Sellers and the Pink Panther as well
Lyle Morgan
Crocodile Dundee 2 is not a “good” movie. However, it’s incredibly endearing and rewatchable and I’m guessing it’s the one you and Carly would enjoy the most based on how much you loved the first one.
Stephen Dias
All good movies. I do enjoy it when Cassie (and Carly) watch the classics, so I voted for "A Shot in the Dark." Honestly, I haven't seen it in a long time; I may just watch it again anyway.
Grad
100%
Richard Maurer
Was going to mention Bride of Frankenstein then I remembered it’s old and B&W so it would get destroyed on this poll. Voted Austin Powers but I won’t be sad if Superman II wins.
Gábor Árki
Donner shot around 70-80% of the movie, but an ending wasn't filmed nor was it even written when he was fired. So, they had to work with what they had, even if it doesn't really make sense. I do like the more serious tone of this version compared to what we got. But the Donner cut it is simply an unfinished movie that can only give you a taste of what it could have been.
Matt Rose
A SHOT IN THE DARK all day, every day. One of the single funniest films I've ever seen.
Just Plain Bob
Agree totally about watching the theatrical cut of Superman 2. Not only was the Donner Cut incomplete, but it conflicts with the ending of the first movie. Without knowing the full background, I think Cassie would be completely baffled by the Donner Cut ending.
Ricardo Rodriguez
I'd be curious how Cassie reacted to Superman Returns. Since it is more of a love story than an action movie.
Lucien
Jewel of the Nile is not a well regarded sequel. As good as Romancing the Stone is--Jewel is forgettable. Same for Crocodile Dundee 2. Superman 2 is a great sequel. While not usually in my wheelhouse the Grumpier series is packed with actors that were major stars in their day. The outtakes at the end are quite funny as well with them trying to find more and more outrageous things for Burgess to say;)
Clay F
Mark, we all have our personal tastes and I have had this discussion with good people who like Crocodile Dundee II. IMDb 6.6, RT 89% (audience 59%) = Crocodile Dundee (1986) --a financial success IMDb 5.7, RT 9% (audience 38%) = Crocodile Dundee II (1988) --"Retelling its predecessor's same joke with diminishing returns, Crocodile Dundee II sees the franchise's enjoyability go down under." "Too slow to constitute an adventure and has too few laughs to be a comedy."
Cole Jennett
I agree Joe, but the squeaky wheels get the grease when it comes to different versions of movies. Most people just assume it will be the theatrical and don’t make their case and then the other one gets watched.
Gábor Árki
Seems like Superman 2 is taking this. If so, I would recommend watching the theatrical cut first. Although I like the Richard Donner Cut, and I think it could have been a superior movie compared to Lester's version, it is not a properly finished film and in its current form is more like a bonus material.
Bryan Erickson
Henry Cavill was done dirty. He is a perfect Superman. His only problem is that his movies had to be part of the DCEU.
Clay F
Cole, good point about Last of Us. There are good sequels (e.g., Aliens) but rare imo.
Cole Jennett
I have a feeling that she will be watching The Last of Us as soon as it drops. She enjoyed it too much not to, and would want to eliminate potential spoilers. Interesting stance on sequels. A lot of sequels may not be as good as the original but they are often still very good.
Mark White
Actually now I think about it Clay, there are a lot of ‘third’ movies which are terrible! Jaws3, Superman 3 and Bev hills cop 3 was a complete joke!
Justtired
I should have clarified. My comment was referring to the Christopher Reeve franchise, not the later films. Superman Returns is worth watching. Also, while I’m not a huge fan of the DCEU, it definitely has some good films in there. Some of the DC tv series are fun. I highly recommend The Penguin.
Gray
Will probably switch to Austin Powers if it's closer towards the end of the poll, always good to have more comedy on the schedule.
David Kent
I voted for Superman 2, though I would put Austin Powers as a #2 choice.
Mark White
I think there is a good argument for Croc 1 being better than Croc 2, but there is no way it deserves a 9% rating on RT! It’s a good sequel. Maybe Croc 3, now that I would understand!
Joe
Just do the theatrical cut, please. The one everyone saw!.
fish_thefilmcollector
If Superman wins I suggest the Donner Cut.
Wes
Agreed. Reeves is the definitive Superman in my eyes.
Joe
The one with Richard Pryor, Cassie be like " stop it, that's gonna give me nightmares".😆
Philip G.
It has no chance ...use your vote elsewhere
Philip G.
YT vs Patreon is always night and day
Joe
Robocop 2 puts fear in her heart. 😆
Mark White
Now this is fascinating. Croc 2 is way down the peaking order here, but when in comes to how many views the original movies got on YouTube, it’s way out in front with 467k views! Does this mean people don’t like the sequel? or does it mean people on Patron tend to have different tastes to the general YouTube audience?
Clay F
I am generally not big on sequels and not excited about any of the movies in this poll. I am glad that Superman 2 is winning. The Pink Panther sequel (which I don't think I've seen) might be interesting. Crococile Dundee 2 is at 8% of the vote and has a RT rating of 9%. Makes sense that Blade 2 is not in the poll because of how the first Blade was received. Glad that Predator 2 (the thrill of the hunt is gone) isn't a poll candidate. I hope there is not another sequel poll anytime soon. I wonder if a "Finish this series already" poll would include S2 of "Last of Us" if any good. How about a "Noms of Oscars Past" poll?
Andrew Heller
Def as good as the first one!
Mike Lemon
Hard disagree on that one, kind of. The Christopher Reeve's ones, yes, but Superman Returns was great-ish, minus the one character.
greggreggreg2000
I've been waiting so long for Grumpier Old Men. Looks like I'll have to wait a little longer lol
Stick Figure Studios
Maybe these other sequels would like to step outside.
Eric Parpart
I agree. First one was funnier. I liked the second because it was more like a thriller but a comic thriller.
Stick Figure Studios
The Donner cut is an interesting experiment. An opportunity to "right" the wrong of how he was treated by the Salkinds, a glimpse (through as glass darkly) of what *could* have been, and I'm glad it exists for Donner's sake, but it's not really a complete film. For all its flaws, the theatrical cut is a real movie (and still the "official" version). The Donner cut, as I've said in a few comments already, is just an extended special feature.
Mitchell Jones
You're killing me Cassie, you have sooooooo many of my favorite sequels on this pole that it was hard for me to pick one so I just closed my eyes and tapped my vote but I do hope you watch most of them
Stick Figure Studios
Absolutely.
Dan M
Yeah, I think the original was better as well. It’s just not as funny as the first one.
Stick Figure Studios
SUPERMAN 2 was very well-received both critically and commercially (it made over $200 million on a $50 million budget). Most people considered it better than the first and many still do (I do not, but I get why they say that) . Yes, the way Donner was treated by the producers was shameful and he should have been allowed to finish what he started, but right or wrong that's just not the way it went down and while I am, in a sense, glad that Donner got to come back and do a version that could somewhat approximate his original vision, the theatrical cut is still the official version and imo the better one. Both films are sort of patchwork quilts (if you know where to look for the seams), but they are more obvious in Donner's version. The theatrical cut is an actual movie. The Donner cut is just an extended special feature. If she wants to eventually check out the Donner cut for comparison, I have no problem with that, but she should see the theatrical cut first.
Elias Shaikh
That’s an interesting way to look at it.
Chris Brown
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, only so you get closer to watching the final Bill and Ted Face the Music payoff for the trilogy.
Justtired
Only one! Yikes! I hope you get to react to most of these. I’d stop after Superman 2. The franchise falls apart after that one.
Chris Retzlaff
Damn all the other good quotes are spoilery
Chris Retzlaff
I like the Donner cut, but it's to unfinished in spots, and I think Cassie will like the theatrical
Elias Shaikh
The Superman movies that followed after the first two weren’t as good, but give credit for Christopher Reeve for giving his best no matter what.
Chris Retzlaff
These sequels.....they must kneel.....kneel before Zod
Dan M
We need to see Cassie laughing again, and Carly if she decides to watch along.
Elias Shaikh
True. The original was good enough but audiences loved the characters and wanted to see the story continue, it just made sense to have sequels.
David Freese
Man you have such an old soul. Superman 2 and Austin Powers is so much a funner group of films. How bout as a Christmas movie?
Stick Figure Studios
The theatrical cut is an actual movie. The Donner cut is just an extended special feature.
Dan M
I know right? It makes the choice even more difficult.
Chris Retzlaff
Not as good as the first, but Jewel was a solid sequel
Dean Holt
Pretty much like all these other than Pink Panther just not really a fan of the franchise. Also would love to see you react to Predator 2 it’s so underrated Imo. Not really a fan of the Rambo sequel as they just turned into standard 80s action type movies, but you probably would get some good YouTube numbers for them.
Chris Retzlaff
This list is like asking me who my favorite child is.....please let me pick 3 or 4 🤣🤣
Tommy Masters
Crocodile Dundee 2!!!!! Come on!
David Freese
Yes its both on Patreon and on YouTube from I believe earlier this year.
JohnnyUtah
Man, love Jewel of the Nile it was one of my first movies as a kid, not happening though. Superman 2 it is.
Tyler Foster
PLEASE A Shot in the Dark!
Brett Richey
A Shot in the Dark is the first proper film. The original is so slow and in completely the wrong direction. They knew it was because of Sellers being the only good thing in it - 94% on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 and with good reason.
Chris Retzlaff
It's kind of wonky, and some of the effects are unfinished or bad, I had to go back buy the other copy. I think she would like the theatrical cut
Dan M
So many good choices again, and so difficult to decide. I narrowed it down to Superman II and Austin Powers TSWSM because I think they’re both better than the original movies. It’s tough to pass up on Christopher Reeves in an epic showdown with the baddies, but I think we’ve seen enough superhero movies lately, so I’m going with Austin and his mojo…Oh Behave!Plus, I just need to see Cassie laughing again after a rough October. But I’ll be just as happy with Superman II.
Elias Shaikh
Superman 2, unfortunately has been redone in a Richard Donner cut, which changed the whole storyline of the theatrical and tv release. I grew up with the tv release which was approximately the same as the theatrical with a few deleted scenes added. I think Cassie ought to watch some version that uses at least the theatrical and/or tv release. The Donner version absolutely changed the story, whereas the historical popularity and success was with the original releases.
Doc Larry
I always go for the long shot three men and a lady it is just a feel good movie.
Joel Cagle
Please, if Superman wins use the Donner cut. He is the original director that the producers let go but WB brought back years later to re edit the film because the theatrical version was not well received (to put it mildly) . The producers did things like cut all of Brando's scenes so they wouldn't have to pay him and cheaper special effects ect.... all because the didn't want to cut their profits.
Mark White
I would LOVE Croc 2 to win! Because Cassie and Carly would really enjoy it. But I imagine Cassie will watch that in January on Australia Day anyway. To be fare, most of these would be worth a watch for Cassie. But Superman 2 would be a obvious choice.
Walter
I was torn between Bill & Ted and Superman II… the rest of that list doesn’t really interest me. Maybe Jewel of the Nile 3rd…
Elias Shaikh
Yes I agree. Psycho 2 was well done, and actor Anthony Perkins was reported to have cried listening to the new theme music by Jerry Goldsmith, really powerful music that captures the feeling of a a character struggling with mental illness, and years of being in an institution.
Stick Figure Studios
I actually think she would like 3 because of Michael's arc.
John Liebling
Three would be horrible.
Stick Figure Studios
Not even close.
Gray
I also want Dundee 2 but looks like we're gonna have to wait til next year
Michael Enos
Thank you so much! Have an awesome week!
Cole Jennett
She has seen it, do you mean 3?
Stick Figure Studios
While not the masterpiece the original Hitchcock film is, PSYCHO 2 is a surprisingly good sequel.
FleetAdmiralJ
I get why its low on the list but I love Jewel of the Nile (also you've seen Romancing the Stone? I'm gonna have to find that one)
JPDotCom23
Dude, where’s ’Godfather II’?
Philip G.

Dylan Harris
Austin powers
Jon Johns
Cue the debates about "The Donner Cut" -- If you know where it's avail, please share, and if you know the run time difference, PLEASE post that, too!
Jeff Rogers
Yeah, but let's face it, it wasn't as good as the original
Stick Figure Studios
Oops. Corrected now. LOL. X-D
Todzilla
Not seeing Robocop or Predator 🤔 Well at least Bill & Ted and Superman made the list.
Cole Jennett
Agreed but I had to go Grumpier Old Men
Stick Figure Studios
I still think the original is better, but that second one was good.
Mike LL
My heart goes to A Shot in The Dark, but I went with Supes 2. I think Cassie would love it! A tough poll!
Story Archer
Considering how much she loved Romancing the Stone, it kills me that Jewel of the Nile is doing so poorly.
nick bell
Not a big sequel guy. They usually suck. But Superman 2 is pretty awesome.
Jens Kristensen
Yes, "Superman 2" get my vote - it has some fantastic scenes that I have loved since childhood...
Brett Richey
A what in the dark? Haha
Cole Jennett
Grumpier Old Men for me! I think she and Carly would enjoy it the most out of a lot of movies they would enjoy😊
Stick Figure Studios
Me too.
Ria Grix
Choose only ONE!!‽ There’s at least four on there that are a ‘Popcorn essentials’
Stick Figure Studios
I do think she should watch SHOT IN THE DARK at some point, but I'm more eager for SUPERMAN 2.
Cassie
Happy Early Birthday Michael!! Nov 8 is a great day!
Jennifer Medicus
Some of these, honestly, aren't great movies. I love Superman 2 more than the first one but I'm here for Grumpier Old Men.
crispyg29
Hope Austin powers wins love that movie
Stick Figure Studios
Mine too.
David Crabtree
Agree!
Joe
Superman 2 gets my vote this time around.
Esteban Escareno
Station!
Edward Robson
Although i voted for grumpier old men, all of these are absolutely worth a watch, I think you would enjoy all of them
Luke Godfrey
I voted for Crocodile Dundee 2. Doesn’t look like it’s going to win though. Shame. Cassie would have enjoyed that one.
Stick Figure Studios
If SUPERMAN 2 wins (and I hope it does; I voted for it) you have to watch the theatrical version.
Elias Shaikh
I hope Psycho 2 will be on a future list!
Brett Richey
The right answer is A Shot in the Dark to make up for the original Pink Panther film... but it won't win. Superman 2 it is then.
Eric Parpart
It’s not doing great but please do Crocodile Dundee II. It’s better than the first in my opinion.
Jason Fulbright
Your original Superman 78 was the first reaction I ever watched. Love to see the sequel!
Wes
Superman 2 then skip to Man of Steel please
Neil Varma
Pink Panther !!
Wolverine
BILL AND TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY!! The best of the trilogy
James UK
This is an impossible choice!
Michael Enos
Hey this poll ends on my birthday!!
