Gremlins and Gremlins 2 was what immediately came to my mind as well. My wife had never seen either and we watched both in a row several years back. I think New Batch just gets more relevant as time goes on.
Been on an Aliens kick lately so the difference between 1, 2, and 3 comes to mind. A horror movie to action blockbuster sequel to low-key almost indie like horror again. I know a lot of fans hated 3 but I wonder if some fans of 1 didn't want a sequel or thought that 2 was action schlock.
Kind of the same deal with Terminator and T2: Judgment Day. The first film had a lot more tension and was more low-key/subdued in its presentation (at least for most of the movie) making it closer to a thriller/horror film. T2 pretty much starts off as an action blockbuster popcorn flick and stays there.
Rambo kills some cops in the first movie and is pretty based then he goes killing nva soldiers and russians in the sequel and is quite cringe.
The G'mork was voiced by :hahaha: of all people. I didn't realize that until a couple of weeks ago.
I shouldn't have watched Krull as a kid but I loved it anyway
C.H.U.D.
C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D.
C.H.U.D. has John Heard, Daniel Stern, and a young John Goodman in a small role. It's about Republican cannibals in the New York City sewers.
The sequel is kinda like Weekend At Bernie's or a teen zombie comedy, but with a C.H.U.D. that is released from a lab and turns people into other C.H.U.D.s.
I thought the cuckolding scene in Dude, Where's My Car? was heartbreaking and poignant.
