    How about these master actors:

    Kevin Costner
    Bill Pullman
    Jackie Mason
    John Candy

    Jackie Mason was in Caddyshack 2 ... not that he was in the original Caddyshack ... but, the idea that he was in that awful piece of garbage makes me want to hurl.

    But I was following the rules of this thread and since he wasn't in part 1, he's golden.

    Hah, this is true, although of course he was in the lamest of the original 3 Indiana Jones films.

    John Candy has a very solid collection of character names. It may be the best ever. Here is a sample

    Gus
    Spike
    Chet
    Ox
    Barf
    Bud
    Buck
    Lasky

    I dare anyone to challenge that.

  • I don't have a problem with sequels. But then, I read a lot of serial fiction (hard boiled detective novels, fantasy trilogies) and am always happy to revisit characters I love.

    That said, the POTC movies were uniformly terrible after the first one. A key to making a successful sequel is to not alter the tone or the characters. The first POTC was a classic high adventure tale with a deliciously morally ambiguous character (depp) and an amusing melodramatic romance. The next two changed the tone completely... depp became a comic parody of the initial character, dropping any pretense at cold-hearted scheming, the romance became heavy and angsty, and rather than a fun action tale it became weighed down by ham-handed attempts at social commentary.

    That said, if the next one can return to the joy of the original, I won't fault depp for doing it.

    But for a good guide as to how to do a sequel right, see the godfather 2 or toy story 2.

    Oh, come now - Last Crusade was superior in nearly every way to Temple of Doom, from supporting cast to script to general plot. Especially supporting cast, and it's not because I'm a huge fan of Sean Connery (even though I am).

    al pacino
    robert de niro
    harrison ford
    ralph fiennes
    viggo mortensen
    gary oldman
    christian bale
    george clooney
    hugh jackman

    whether an actor has done a sequel or not is irrelevant ... it's about their performance in each movie ...

    sure ... but is it relevant to whether an actor is good or not?

    No . . . well, maybe for Steve Guttenberg it is.

    You might be right, I haven't see any of them for years and was never a fan of the films, it was just my understanding (perhaps I was confused) that it was the worst.

    Anything with River is worth watching tbh.

    Yes, I realized that after I posted this..but was too lazy to edit it. How could i forget those crappy Matrix movies and Bill & Ted. For some reason Speed came to mind.

    I didn't really mean to be that blunt about it. :p I just really, really don't rate Temple of Doom very highly. But Raiders and Crusade are classics, and you have no soul for not loving them with every fibre of your being. ;)

    Each year I'm dissapointed when the Academy passes him over for Best Actor for his work on Point Break.

    I...................am an.............F.B.I........................agent.

    He maybe 100% pure cardboard, but for some reason, I still love him!

    When Matrix Reloaded came out, I decided to go to Best Buy's midnight madness release...when I got there, the line was hundreds of people long, surrounding the store. As I walked past the front where they were doing contests, I heard the question, "what was the name of Keanu's character in Point Break?" and I yelled JOHNNY UTAH! That got me right inthe front door!
