We look back on 27 sequels that should never have been made.
See where movies like "Zoolander 2," "Son of the Mask," "Terminator Genisys," and "The Godfather: Part III" land on our list.
Bad sequels are certainly not a new trend in Hollywood — there are decades upon decades of terrible movie follow-ups.
Who could forget the sequel to "The Hangover" (I'm not even going to bring up part three)? Or Ben Stiller deciding to make another "Zoolander" movie. I can even just type one word and it will give you chills: "Glass." And let's not leave out perhaps one of the biggest sequel misfires of them all, "The Godfather: Part III."
Here are 27 of the worst sequels of all time:
