Movies you bought but not their sequels?

[playsignal1976]

What is a movie(s) that you bought the first entry in the series but not their sequels? A few examples for me would be Matrix, Poltergeist and Nightmare on Elm Street.

[Monterey Jack]

Wrong section.

Bought Taken, Taken II but not Taken III. Bought Hangover, Hangover II but not Hangover III.

I'm a franchise completist. I usually get all the sequels, even the shitty ones. And I watch them all when I marathon a series.

[CyberpunkCentral]

2001: A Space Odyssey, Aladdin, American Psycho, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Godzilla (1954), Machete, Man of Steel, and Speed.

I THINK that's it. I could possibly be forgetting one or two. I know there are a few more, but I'm not going to count those because I still plan to complete them.

Ones where I only want the first movie and don't care about the sequel(s):
- G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
- Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
- John Wick
- Mulan
- Planet of the Apes
- Pumpkinhead
- The Return of the Living Dead
- Scream
- Speed

Ones where I have first film and at least one sequel but don't care about the others:
- Batman and Batman Returns
- Captain America and Captain America: The Winter Soldier
- Jurassic Park, The Lost World and Jurassic Park III
- Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
- The Mummy and The Mummy Returns
- Predator and Predator 2
- The Terminator, Terminator 2 and Terminator 3

Just my opinion.....but you’re selling yourself short not getting the two sequels to this!!

[AaronJ]

The first one that comes to mind, and I only bought the first one on DVD, is The Matrix. Once I saw Reloaded on the big screen, I was done with that franchise for good.

I'm sure there are others, but I need to think about it.

However, lately I've been buying a number of series of films on Blu-ray in box sets. Taken, Mission Impossible, the Oceans movies. I've had the Godfather Collection and Scream set for years now. Thus, I don't really have the ability to ignore later films in a series with these boxes.

[CyberpunkCentral]

Same with me. I only have the first John Wick as well. But I didn't count it because I plan to get the sequels at some point.

[Phillip c. Niethe]

1. Prometheus, Covenant, Alien, Aliens: No 3&4 or avp
2. Clash of the Titans: No Wrath
3.Die Hard 1-3: No 4&5
4.The Equalizer: No 2
5.John Wick: No 2&3
6. Starwars: No Solo, No Jar Jar Trilogy
7. Terminator 1&2&4: No 3&5&6
8. Woman in Black: No 2
On the fence with keeping: Predator 2, Bourne: Hawkeye, Pirates 5

[AaronJ]

Oh, Phillip's post reminded me. I have all 6 of the Alien movies, but I have none of the AvP flicks. Does that count?

[blipsycat]

Most of the Disney and Don Bluth direct-to-video sequels come to mind.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

[RCRochester]

I have quite a few films in my collection where I don't own the sequel(s). The Matrix is one of them, and all of the Terminator films beyond the first two.

I think it'd be be more interesting to discuss the flip side of this... is there any sequel that you've purchased but not the predecessor(s)?

Sequels without original films:
1. Mad Max: Fury Road..I'm fond of 2&3 which I don't own and hate the original Mad Max on motorcycles.
Only qualifying title I own unless you count Franchises where I purposely skipped entries
Then it would include installments of Starwars, Terminator, and MCU titles.

I have Hellboy 2 (on DVD), but have never gotten around to getting the first one in any format.

[Todd Tomorrow]

Die Hard
The Howling
An American Werewolf in London
Taken
Poltergeist
Piranha (original & remake)
Silent Hill
Donnie Darko

Off the top of my head, I have all the Star Wars movies on steelbook except for the Last Jedi and Solo digitally only because a friend gifted me his bluray codes. I did not feel like those were worthy to own physically. I have Terminator 1-3 and none of the others for obvious reasons. Just have the Incredibles 1 cause 2 is not a worthy installment in my opinion.
