As promised, we have a second Enbrel case from last week to report on.  So we teased it as a sequel.  And, as it turns out, this case is itself a sequel.  We reported on the first dismissal of plaintiff’s complaint in Salvio v. Amgen Inc., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92558 (W.D. Pa. Aug. 18, 2011) here.  The court gave plaintiff a chance to try again and like with so many sequels – plaintiff should have left it alone.  So, that got us thinking about the worst ever movie sequels.  Unlike yesterday’s list, this one could go on for pages.  Generally speaking, sequels are never as good as the original.  For instance, we can start at the same place we started yesterday, The Godfather.  While there is ample ammunition for either side of the debate over whether Godfather 1 or Godfather 2 is better, nobody disputes that Godfather 3 is the quintessential franchise killer.  While most critics like to attack Sofia Coppola, she is far from the worst thing about that movie. 

Here is just a short-list (consider it a sampling), in no particular order, of sequels that are so bad, they might even make you forget what you loved about the original (we’re sure you can all add to the list):

The Sting II – with all due deference to Jackie Gleason’s comic genius, he and Mac Davis were no match for Redford and Newman.

The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions – too long, too tedious, just a complete let down in every way.

Legally Blonde 2:  Red, White and Blonde – In the original a ditzy blonde takes the legal profession by storm in a funny and charming way.  In the sequel she goes looking for her pet Chihuahua's birth mother.  Huh?

Dumb and Dumberer:  When Harry Met Lloyd – only good thing was a fairly spot-on impersonation of Jim Carey.

Jaws the Revenge – The original is one of the best horror movies ever made.   In this one, as if the plot – a shark that has already been blown to bits seeks revenge on the widow of the man who killed it – isn’t bad enough, the shark also roars.
