While most producers would happily pump out successful sequels for as long as there is money to be made, sometimes it`s not possible, especially if the main stars from the original movie aren`t willing to be involved.

Nevertheless, as the following list reveals, the history of the spin-off is filled with movies that don`t work, that bombed at the box office, and that simply should never have been made in the first place.
