Most movie sequels are inferior to the originals, but every now and then there is a sequel that improves on the original.
Here are some sequels that I think are better than the preceding movie...
Aliens
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
X-Men 2
Spider Man 2
I know I'm forgetting several good ones...
What do you think? What are some sequels that you think are better than the originals?

I like Sanjuro more than Yojimbo. Actually, I like Sanjuro a LOT more than Yojimbo. I think Yojimbo's a bit overrated, actually.

But what about Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo???  (Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know it's not really a true sequel, but it could be stated that Sanjuro isn't either.) |

God, I hate to admit it, but I thought Grease II was at least as good as Grease, mostly because Michelle Pfeiffer was damn good.
That, however, is not meant to negate the sequels others have offered; just that Grease II is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Seriously, though, I remember watching Grease II on cable back in the 80's, and I enjoyed it more than the first. Of course, I was a fan of Adrian Zmed from T.J. Hooker, so that may have skewed by view of the film. And Michelle Pfeiffer certainly didn't hurt the movie any... ;D |

The Four Tops singing the opening song: video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6247826540767420928#and Pfeiffer singing "Cool Rider". Most of the other songs are junk, but those two sort of sold me. =Bob |
