I was thinking about good sequels to cult classics, like Bride of Re-Animator, Predator 2, Return of the Living Dead 3, RoboCop 2 etc. Wondering if anybody knows of other sequels worth seeing in a similar vein? I've heard good things about The Fly 2, Gremlins 2, Candyman 2, I've heard bad things about The Crow 2, Scanners 2...

I'm more thinking of old school movies a lot of people love, but their sequels tend to go unmentioned.
Hatchet 2 does rule though! I might even like it more than the first one.

Is the original It worth checking out? I was about to opt it on but noticed its 3+ hours long

It's technically not a 3 hour movie, it's a two-part miniseries, and yeah it's pretty good. Part 1 and 2 are an hour and a half each, so you can watch it in two sittings without fucking it up.

I'm a fan. But like cig said, it was a 2 part mini series. So it aired in a 2 hour time slot on like nbc across 2 nights. So factor in commercials and it was like an hour and a half each night. It's pretty tame, 1990 + network television, but i do think it's worth checking out.Is the original It worth checking out? I was about to opt it on but noticed its 3+ hours long

Definitely pushed the boundaries of TV at the time. Blood and violence against children in particular.

gremlins 2 is the ideal of what a sequel should be, thing unleashes the id of its predecessor while also pissing all over the entire idea of sequels.

I come home one day and the house is empty, and I mean completely empty. She even took the ice cube trays out of the freezer. What kind of a sick bitch takes the ICE CUBE trays out of the FREEZER!?
Classic.

I checked this out since director Kim Hong-sun has been selected as the director of Gangs of London s03. Starts off as Con Air on a boat before going off the rails completely and turning into a Ryuhei Kitamura film. Enjoyable trash but not impressed by the direction, very flat cinematography and lots of quick cuts. The best thing I can say about it is that it is violent and gory as hell.
Rating: Not good but CiG would like it/5

Fair.
It's not the worst I've seen in that regard but it's pretty disappointing. And this is the guy they're picking to replace the void left by Gareth Evans? Sad, I hope he can exceed my expectations.
