10 Hollywood & Bollywood Movie Sequels We Could Do Without
Just as the mental scars from Housefull 2 were finally beginning to fade, Housefull 3 was released on June 3rd to reopen old wounds!
If you didn’t get enough of the innuendo, inane plots twists and general insanity in the first two films, this third instalment has all that plus Abhishek Bachchan committing possible career suicide and Nargis Fakhri and her heavily accented Hindi!
Whether or not you choose to watch the movie, it’s out there. And the trilogy, however unnecessary, is now complete — unless, heaven forbid, they make a fourth!
So, in that spirit, here’s a look at 10 highly questionable Bollywood and Hollywood sequels we’re not sure we want to see!
Let’s start with Bollywood.
Billed as India’s first "porn-com,” KKHH3 barely made enough at the box office to cover costs. Looks like the public passed on this one!
You can never get enough masti, right? That’s what the filmmakers behind Great Grand Masti are banking on. We’re not so sure!
Sequels very rarely live up to the originals, and since 3 Idiots is so very dear to our hearts, we're apprehensive about watching a second one if it ever happens!
Despite some plot problems and whispers of overacting, Shah Rukh Khan’s recent release FAN was a huge success. But would we ever want to see a sequel?
A trilogy just wasn’t enough. At least this one has Ranveer Singh in it to freshen things up. But how much more can we take?
Hollywood isn’t much better when it comes to sequels!
If Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull wasn’t enough to ruin one of your favourite childhood trilogies, not to worry! There’s a fifth movie on the way.
Let’s admit it. After the first one, this franchise went downhill hard and fast. We don’t have high hopes for this one.
Yes, it is in fact what you feared. A sequel to the 1988 buddy comedy Twins, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Just…why?
Hollywood continues its campaign to destroy childhoods everywhere! A sequel to the Academy Award–winning live-action/animation classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit is apparently in development. Why try to improve on perfection?
Yet another '80s cult classic being dragged into the 2010s. This one is still just a strong rumour, so maybe they’ll spare us the trauma of going through with it!
