<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Decent fourquels?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/54.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Decent fourquels?
Now quite a few franchises have made it to the third chapter and still been able to knock out a great film (Return of the King, Back to the Future Part III, Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Toy Story 3, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Good The Bad and The Ugly etc). But how many have produced a quality fourth effort?

I can only think of one offhand...



Even if you cheat and divide the rest of the Bond films into mini-franchises based on the actor playing him, then both Moonraker (Moore's 4th) and Die Another Day (Brosnan's 4th) are crap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3195169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3195169.page GMT Decent fourquels?

What's sad is that it is a great film for about 20 minutes and even manages to stagger on as a good film after the fridge incident, but after a fairly boring mid section, the monkeys killed it for me (I do own it on DVD though )

Ahh, you beat me to it. I was gonna mention Harry Potter, which has 8 movies (and all but about 2 of them are really, really good).

The fourth Tremors movie isn't bad. It was an interesting twist in style - in the first 3 movies, all the non-whites die throughout the movies, and in the fourth one, all the white people die by the end (other than Burt's ancestor).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3197609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3197609.page GMT Decent fourquels?

Yea I figured as much, the other Phantasms are worth watching, if nothing else, but to say youve seen them. I agree with Halloween, although personally, Id rate the first Nightmare on Elmstreet way up the list as well. Man that was a good flick.

Nope I too rather liked that film. But uh.... I also love WaterWorld, so take my opinion for what its worth

It got remade by Hollywood.

After it was popular, they made two more episodes, a sequel called Ring 2 and a prequel called Ring 0.

Pre-production has recently started on a fourth episode, with working title "Ringu Peace".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3200874.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3200874.page GMT Decent fourquels?

Terminator Salvation was awful, Indiana Jones 4 was fething awful as well!

I just watched the Lethal Weapon Quadrilogy on HD a month back, and considering how much worse they were now im 31 and not 11 years old, I think its safe to say that LW4 is a good option.

Its better than the 2nd and 3rd anyway, and Jet Li is always good! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3201360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3201360.page GMT Decent fourquels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3201458.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3201458.page GMT Decent fourquels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3201530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389986/3201530.page GMT Decent fourquels?
