What's the biggest drop in quality between two entries in the same franchise? - Blu-ray Forum

They don't have to be consecutive entries, could be first and last movie in a franchise or one after the other. What is, in your opinion, the biggest drop off in quality between two entries in the same franchise or series of movies?

Star Wars ANH and TFA

Godfather Part 1 and 2 and Godfather Part 3.

The Incredibles and Incredibles 2.

Transformers
Transformers The Last Knight

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom.

Warm Gun · 03-17-2022, 10:03 PM

The Matrix and The Matrix Resurrections.

Surely this thread can be overrun by theatrical films that became direct to video garbage later.

The classic Troll vs the classic, entertaining Troll 2.

Blade 1 and 2 vs Blade Trinity.

Darkman 1, vs Darkman 2 and 3.

Midnight Run 1, vs Midnight Run 2 and 3.

My vote goes from The Force Awakens to The Last Jedi. I was utterly astounded by how bad the latter film was when I saw it, that I was almost numbed to silence for a full day. I never bothered to see The Rise of Skywalker, fearing it would only be worse.

The Force Awakens to the turd that is The Last Jedi. The Rise Of Skywalker is even worse.

Also Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdi... err, I mean Dome compared to Mad Max 1, 2 and 4. Anyone else noticing a theme here?

Leonard Part 6 was so bad it made me completely forget parts 1-5.

ticTACsnitch · 03-17-2022, 10:31 PM

I doubt anything will top Die Hard to A Good Day to Die Hard. Probably Jaws to Jaws the Revenge.

Panson · 03-17-2022, 10:33 PM

The Godfather: Part III (1990)

Batmon77 · 03-17-2022, 10:37 PM

Superman 3(has its merits) & 4 tanked the franchise.
They could have done 6 easliy.

Casino Royale and it's diminishing sequels.
