## Summary

The article names ten of the worst film sequels, arguing that while sequels can become classics, many fail to match their predecessors. It highlights how some follow-ups discard what made the original successful, while others undermine established stories or feel cheaply made.

Examples in the supplied text include *Staying Alive*, criticised for losing the grit of *Saturday Night Fever* and holding a 0% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score; *Highlander II: The Quickening*, faulted for retcons and a confusing plot; *BloodRayne 2: Deliverance*, described as a low-budget vampire Western; and the made-for-television *Home Alone 4*. The article says blockbuster filmmaking helped make sequels a widespread commercial trend from the 1970s.
