Bad Movies You'd Like to See Sequelized

Just thinking about Marvel's big gamble in making The Incredible Hulk a sequel/ reboot to the (excellent) Hulk led me to other cases in which further investing bucks in only modest hits ended up paying off (Austin Powers) but also didn't (Chronicles of Riddick and xXx. State of the Union come to mind). And thinking about Ice Cube's epic turdfest made me curious about what if the series could continue with the concept -regular guy trained to be superspy- if only with a better... um, everything.

And hence, my posting of this thread. Since I don't wanna turn this into another guilty pleasures list, I'm talking about what can be considered quite objectively bad movies. The idea of this is posting that cinematic cesspool of choice AND briefly expand on how you think it could be sequelized/ rebooted if not for the better, at least for the trainwreck-interesting. Oh, and while I obviously also aim for some jokes here, please consider that "(insert movie title here) 2: Electric Boogaloo" is not exactly funny anymore.

OK, I'll go first. The aforementioned xXx series: while an idea not exactly new, Part 3 could feature Sam Jackson training a chick, but also a complete nerdy guy, a gay character or even that transexual from State of the Union.

Anyone else?

Preach on, brother. Personally, I had no problem with the cast -especially with Farrell, which I thought devoured supreme that movie- but I'd also like to see the further adventures of Matt Murdock under a more ambitious director (and screenwriter).

But what about The Avengers? While the first one is terrible beyond terribleness, I like the idea of british spies in a retro & pop-ish world, half 60's half-present days, with ridiculous gadgets and a positive sense of fantasy. Dunno If Thurman & Fiennes should be recast (probably... yes), but I'd love to see that made right.

And in case it's not already on the backburner, what about rebooting the Highlander series? I know the first one won the Oscar for best film ever, but with a good cast, director and production values beyond high school Hamlet rendition, garage swordfights could always be cool again.

Aaaaah, watch out for the thread derailing!! When I underscored bad movies, I really meant that, as in movies we Chewers almost uniformly believe are real swastika-bearing, WMD-owners. Thus The Rocketeer or Sky Captain wouldn't count (unless you firmly believe they're bad, opening the gate for discussion... and potential death-threats).

The Tomb Raider series, on the other hand, is a real bringer of pain, but I too believe another go round could help to straighten things up. Whether for good (and keep Angelina on, I say) or for eventually fulfilling those mayan predictions about year 2012.
