| 264 | |
| 265 | ->'''Stella''': Rusty, what is Zach's favorite movie?\ |
| 266 | '''Rusty''': Easy! ''Attack Of The Mutant Alien Toddlers From Mars (Part 10)''\ |
| 267 | '''Zach''': No, ''(Part 9)''! Everybody knows those movies went downhill after that! |
| 268 | -->-- ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' |
| 269 | |
| 270 | ->'''Leslie''': How do I look?\ |
| 271 | '''Darwin''': You know how when you go to the movies and you think, "The sequel can't possibly be worse!" Well, it's like the tenth movie. |
| 272 | -->-- ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' |
| 273 | |
| 274 | ->''"Baby Dooky Dum Dum 6? That movie's the worst! I mean, 1 through 3 were good, but MAN! They lost the plot after 4!"'' |

| 276 | |
| 277 | ->'''Narrator:''' Yes, it's Catherine II! She's kind of back and she's almost as great as the first one... Almost. Sort of. ''[...]'' If you loved Catherine, you'll... probably at least like Catherine II.\ |
| 278 | ''[Arthur and Binky walk out of the movie theater, disappointed.]''\ |
| 279 | '''Binky:''' I liked the first one, but this just didn't work for me.\ |
| 280 | '''Arthur:''' Yeah, sequels are never as good. |

| 286 | -->-- '''Creator/WaltDisney's''' response to the failures of the three follow up shorts of ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs''. |
| 287 | |
| 288 | ->"When ''[[Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter The Final Chapter]]'' was offered to me, I was like, 'I don't really want to do ''Friday the 13th.''[='=] Eventually, I only did it because of Amy Steel -- she talked me into it. And I thought it was really cool because it was ''The '''Final''' Chapter''. In my mind, I thought, 'Oh, I'll be in the last one. That's kind of cool. These things are famous.' LittleDidIKnow." |
| 289 | -->-- '''Peter Barton''' |
| 290 | |
| 291 | ->'''Creator/DavidLetterman''': There was a ''Film/GhostbustersII'', wasn't there?\ |
| 292 | '''Creator/BillMurray:''' Technically, yes. |

| 294 | |
| 295 | ->"It was just a situation in life where I got the script and I read the script and I was like 'ugggghhh.' It was about a cruise ship and I was thinking, 'A bus, a cruise ship... Speed, bus, but then a cruise ship is even slower than a bus and I was like, 'I love you guys but I just can't do it.'" |
| 296 | -->-- '''Creator/KeanuReeves''' on declining $12 million to star in ''Film/Speed2CruiseControl'' |
| 297 | |
| 298 | ->"The Trekkies, they ''did'' get a little freaked out. I think they've come to realize that I did them a favor... My god, how many more of these things? Creator/PatrickStewart spouting off for another forty minutes? Jesus, I mean, if you find ''that'' exciting, go watch paint dry. Oh god, is somebody photographing...? This is going to be [[IsThisThingOn on the bloody Internet, isn't it?]]" |
| 299 | -->-- '''Creator/MalcolmMcDowell''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W71HrpLZ9gI#t=613 on]] [[Film/StarTrekGenerations killing Captain Kirk.]] |
| 300 | |
| 301 | ->"There has just been too much ''Franchise/StarTrek'' for a while. I remember the moment the franchise peaked. The moment, to me, was when Kirk and Picard were on the cover of ''Magazine/TimeMagazine''. I literally walked in the next day to the office and said, ‘We have peaked. It’s down hill for quite a while from here.’ You reached this kind of critical mass in popular imagination. You were now on the cover of ''TIME'', and all the old stuff about the Trekkies was kind of gone by the wayside. It had gone from being a subculture of a subculture, to now this legitimate nationwide phenomenon. It was Americana. Kirk and Picard are big heroes, and everyone loves them. You can’t sustain that, so it just started falling off." |
| 302 | -->-- '''Creator/RonDMoore''' |
| 303 | |
| 304 | ->"I think we're going to carry the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ice Age}}s'' up to ''Ice Age 15'', which means basically they'll be in the present decade." |
| 305 | -->-- '''Creator/DenisLeary''' |
| 306 | |
| 307 | ->"As we all know, sequels can be tricky." |
| 308 | -->-- '''Creator/DwayneJohnson''' |
| 309 | |
| 310 | ->"I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely steps up to the original." |
| 311 | -->-- '''Creator/JerrySpinelli''' |
| 312 | |
| 313 | ->"There are so few good comedy sequels. The only one in recent memory that's good is ''Film/TwentyTwoJumpStreet''. It's a hard genre." |
| 314 | -->-- '''Nicholas Stoller''' |
| 315 | |
| 316 | ->"The deals that they make you do are so draconian. And, of course, you are signed on for not only the movie that you are signed on for... but at least ''two more'' that you haven't read and you have no idea what they are going to be, and all the crossover ones you are going to have to do. For me to sign on now to do a superhero movie would mean I would be working until I am 50 as that particular superhero." |
| 317 | -->-- '''Creator/JonHamm''' on turning down a superhero film role |
| 318 | |
| 319 | ->"What we were trying to do on ''Highlander'' was the best show possible, and to make it great. What we were trying to do on ''Raven'' [[TroubledProduction was survive]]." |
| 320 | -->-- '''David Abramowitz''', ''The Unraveling of a Series'' (''{{Series/Highlander}}: The Raven'' featurette) |
| 321 | |
| 322 | ->"The way we approach our stories is we imagine each film as if it’s the most meaningful experience of our protagonist’s life. If that’s your point of view, your sequel is automatically either going to be (A) a diminishment of that — is it the second most important experience of your protagonist’s life? Or, (B) you’ve got to crank up the volume so much, everything’s sensory overload, and becomes comical how much you have to ratchet it up to justify its existence. I’m not interested in that. I don’t want to do that. I want to tell new and original stories." |
| 323 | -->-- '''Travis Knight''' |
| 324 | |
| 325 | ->"Sequels can be very dangerous because they compromise your truth as an artist. I think a sequel to ''[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]]'' would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity. People only remember the latest episode, while the pilot tarnishes." |
| 326 | -->-- '''Creator/StevenSpielberg''' |
