Pointless sequels!!!

Life is full of pointless sequels...Rosemary's baby 2...Jaws the revenge....Star Wars revenge of the sith...DAVE669...etc

and so is Boxing I mean who the hell needs Froch v Bute 2???

There is nothing more irritating than a sequel that isn't warranted or needed!!!!

Some of the worst I've felt irritated by have been Tyson v Ruddock...Chavez-Taylor 2 (when Taylor was clearly shot!!) and Leonard v Duran 3 when the outcome was never in doubt!!

Think rematch clauses should be stamped out!! and most rematches should come with a government health warning...

Nothing worse than pointless sequels.....Almost always let you down!!! Unlike Superman 2...The Empire strikes back..Transporter 2...

Revenge of the Sith was a cracking film, I thought!

You're right, though, there have been some real shockers.

I think its a financial decision, Bute knows he will get more fighting froch than anyone else on his radar.

If Bute isnt to mentally scarred it could be more competitive (i thought the first would be closer but still backed froch)

Fancy Froch to win with another stoppage but with Bute fighting well and putting him under pressure early on

Most Pointless sequel....... Any of the Marquez Pacquio fights, as everyone knows KMM will have to actually kill pacqiuo to get the Win

But should we have to put up with Bute-Froch 2 after the resoundng Froch win in the first fight!!

Meaningless as was.......Texas chainsaw massacre 2.......Halloween resurrection....

Three men and a little lady, greese 2, wlad v thompson 2, Calzaghe v Veit.

Grease 2.....I watched about 20 minutes of it on cable once.....

Not sure why it took me that long to turn it off (Maybe Pfeiffer had something to do with it)

You worry me Jimdig!! Three men and a little lady???

I'll be seeing you down the blue oyster no doubt!!!!

Pazienza - Haugen 3.........

De La Hoya vs Chavez 2, I know the first was stopped due to cuts but de la Hoya bossed the opening stages vs a 35 year old Chavez. The second favoured de la Hoya even more being at 147 vs a 37 year old chavez

Independence Day 2 is being mooted...anyone interested in this, or will it fail to match the first film?

Grease 2 is possible the most pointless sequel of them all.

Good call........The first fight showed that Oscar had the old-boy's number at that stage of his career!!

I still know what you did last summer...........

Good article TRUSS!

I agree that in most cases, sequels are not needed at all!

However, some that i DO agree with are:

Froch vs Kessler 2 - if it happens
Marquez vs Pacquiao 2
Pavlik vs Taylor 2


Some that were absolutely pointless:


Scream 4
Halloween 50 or whatever it got to. (Mike Myers seemed to live forever)
Grease 2
Titanic 2 - Only found this the other day and watched 4 mninutes of it online.

Didn't much care for the first film Fisty!!!

Besides not a Will Smith fan ......He's like Frank Bruno on acid!!!

Titanic 2???

How does that even work?

Yeh tell me about it:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1640571/


The summary is that a "sister" ship follows the same path 100 years on. A tsunami throws an ice burg at the ship and sinks it!


Seriously!!

I was about to ask that, Alan.

Ah I've always been a fan of Independence Day, Truss. And Will Smith is Ali..

Wladimir vs Thompson...

Bute would do better to bout Ward than rematch Froch. Horses for courses and all. Andre doesn't really stop world class opposition, and for that reason it would be a good "BOXING" match-up.

But why would Ward want Bute????

He's been shown to have a dodgy chin and average skills....

Nothing to gain there....

I want Bute to take up golf instead!!

Whilst there's a valid argument for banning rematches, there's always those occasions when a fighter is so badly done to on the cards or a great fight is halted by injury that rematches are essential. Getting rid of the rematch clause also leaves fights open to even more outrageous miscarriages of justice. Perhaps fans should be allowed to fill in a card on the way out asking if there's any point in doing it all again?

...and I'll have you know that DAVE1 - DAVE668 were great....DAVE669 simply continues a marvellous tradition.

Whereas TRUSSMAN, TRUSSMAN5, TRUSSMAN55 et al were all marred by the fact that they were a result of someone slinking back to the boards having previously (and loudly) announced their retirement. The reek of shame and desperation upon their was overwhelming.

You are the STATUS QUO of the boards! ("You all know this one...a chuga chuga chuga chuga chuga chuga....down, down, deeper and down...."

Sometimes Dave you can come across as cruel and callous, but that was hilarious!

Police Academy was a pretty dismal film but the 100 or so sequels were not only pointless but were catastrophic. I didn;t watch a film in years after seeing the fourth one.

As for boxing, in hindsight, Bruno v Tyson 2. Bruno managed to con the British plebic that he would win the 2nd fight on Britain's first ever pay per view, caused outrage at the time and people campaigned aginst it. Bruno sold us down the river just because he threw one decent punch the last time out. Three rounds of being scared sh****** whilst taking a beating cost us all £10!

Someone has had a sense of humor fail!!!

Police academy moscow one was downright embarrassing..

Liked the first one though!!! errrrmmmmm Kim Cattrall!!

Home Alone 2.
He was always gonna beat the sticky bandits better than the first time(the wet bandits,back then) what with an extra years experience and maturity.

Just think how confident he was when it came to Home alone 3!!
