	two towers and return of the king???

	mattyroo:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 14:40 GMT	6 points
	I was thinking the same thing, onlyashes11. How does Bogus Journey make it but neither Two Towers or Return of the King. And they can't say it's because LotR is one big epic, because both Star Wars sequels and Back to the Future sequels are on here. BTW, really fun quiz!

	supernat:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 18:16 GMT	4 points
	I know, I know - I didn't make the list!

	mattyroo:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 18:38 GMT	4 points
	I didn't mean for that to be anything against the quiz maker because the quiz is fun. Empire Online is clearly to blame for these glaring omissions!

	asterix:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 20:10 GMT	6 points
	why no Short circuit 2 or Police academy mission to moscow? oh wait i remember now.

	pwatersnh:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 20:19 GMT	4 points
	No Bride of Frankenstein?!

	johnlk:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 21:46 GMT	12 points
	Temple of Doom is ahead of Last Crusade?

	johnlk:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 21:51 GMT	2 points
	Isn't the idea that Lord of the Rings was conceived as one movie split into three parts, while the Back to the Future films are each independent movies?

	johnlk:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 21:52 GMT	2 points
	Also - I guess Bond movies don't count?

	Evil_75:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 22:39 GMT	2 points
	Please accept Star Trek 2.

	dummo:	Feb 28th, 2011 at 02:05 GMT	2 points
	I agree with johnlk. The reason LOTR wasn't considered is probably because all three movies were filmed in one big hit and then split into the three parts. So they're not really self filmed sequels the way the rest of these are. Though Back to the Future 2 and 3 sorta are the same, but they have completely differnt storylines.

	TeganX7:	Feb 28th, 2011 at 04:17 GMT	2 points
	I won't complain about how much I disagree with this list, but please consider accepting "Star Trek II".

	Geebs3906:	Feb 28th, 2011 at 07:53 GMT	1 point
	X-Men 2 would be a helpful alternative to X2...

	supernat:	Feb 28th, 2011 at 09:39 GMT	0 points
	I've made the changes for X Men 2 and Star Trek 2. Thanks for your feedback.

	supernat:	Feb 28th, 2011 at 09:41 GMT	1 point
	@johnlk - From Empire's website: 'We have disregarded films that are really all of a piece, like Lord of the Rings and Kill Bill, and also series that share elements but restart each time, like Carry On or Three Colours.' I think James Bond movies would come under 'series that restart each time'.

	istalkblink182:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 01:18 GMT	1 point
	okay no LOTR, temple of doom is 14, no pirates of the carribean, and aliens ahead of Godfather part II? empire officially blows

	bondfool:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 01:38 GMT	1 point
	@supernat And the Star Trek movies have more internal continuity than James Bond? (Not blaming you, it's a cool quiz.)

	winner:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 03:57 GMT	4 points
	Anyone who knows ANYTHING about cinema knows that the (pornographic) film Pirates 2: Stagnetti's Revenge is not only the greatest sequel of all time, it is the greatest FILM of all time.

	maaxwell:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 09:35 GMT	-3 points
	Everybody knows the third back to the future is better than the second! (Likewise with Indy)

	TheDegerness:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 18:10 GMT	2 points
	Why is Halloween III on here?!!!

	imclala:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 18:33 GMT	1 point
	"star wars episode v" was accepted, but not "star wars episode vi." Please be consistent.

	pottedstu:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 19:18 GMT	0 points
	I thought sequel meant "second in a series". You should point out in the rules that it accepts any film past the first one in a series.

	Jorkler:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 23:29 GMT	0 points
	Great quiz concept, stupid list. Where's Lord of the Rings? What is The Lost World doing on there? Why Die Hard With a Vengeance but not the other two?

	RamSam:	Mar 2nd, 2011 at 02:56 GMT	2 points
	Why is "Star Trek 2" accepted but not "Star Trek 8?"

	supernat:	Mar 2nd, 2011 at 13:40 GMT	0 points
	I've made the changes for Star Trek 8 and Star Wars Episode VI. I'm adding a note for what a sequel is.

	TerryWilhelmer:	Mar 3rd, 2011 at 00:26 GMT	0 points
	Please accept "Star Trek VIII"

	mrgenova:	Mar 4th, 2011 at 01:15 GMT	1 point
	New Nightmare?!?! Seriously, how the hell does that make it and Wayne's World 2 doesn't?

	thestorm80:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 01:39 GMT	1 point
	Empire really screwed up with this list. Presumably Rocky II (and maybe even III), which were very good sequels before the franchise went downhill, didn't make a la LOTR? I don't know but some of these movies really sucked Empire should have just used the criteria that if the movie follows the one before it in an overall storyline, it is a sequel.

	thestorm80:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 01:42 GMT	2 points
	Oh and for the record Empire, there is no way Aliens is objectively better than the Godfather Part II or the Dark Knight.

	mraithel13:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 07:16 GMT	3 points
	I'll watch Rocky 2, 3 and even 4 before I'll watch Lost World again.

	BunnySMG:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 20:43 GMT	1 point
	Halloween III: Season of the Witch? Seriously? The absolute worst of the franchise is the only sequel to make the list? My head asplode!

	ddd62291:	Jan 14th, 2012 at 21:15 GMT	1 point
	I agree with almost everyone here. How can halloween 3 be on there, the worst sequel but not lotr?
