Doctor Who?

I just finished watching Lethal Weapon 4 and that got me to thinking between Indy,Die Hard,and Lethal Weapon which 80s action movie franchise got the worst fourquel?

I am going to say Indy because all three of the Indy movies before it were good and the other two franchises had already started to slide.

But then again how come getting a fourth movie always seems to be the kiss of death for an action film franchise?

Shouldn't Jaws 4 be on that list?

And Hellraiser 4?

I dare you to name ONE good thing about "Temple of Doom".

Doctor Who?

It's my favorite of the series.

I love all the action scenes in it.

Also i think Short Round is a good sidekick.

I think Temple of Doom is is fun at times, weird at others and downright stupid at a few points (the opening dance number, changing his attitude towards museums, etc.) But it's just so weird that it is unique. And 'weird' Spielberg is still a lot better than most other action directors these days.

Short Round exists solely as a Mary Sue for all the little kids watching the film. "Wow, THAT little kid with the shrill annoying voice gets to hang out with Indy and do cool things! Maybe *I* can hang out with Indy and do cool things, too!"

Plus, since the film takes place the year *before* "Raiders", it creates an obnoxious continuity error...WHY doesn't Indy "believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus"?

Where's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace? Or Batman & Robin?

A "foursquell" sounds like something a ship's captain should steer off-course to avoid.

Live Free or Die Hard, easy. That movie made part of my insides die.

jJaws 4 - we're supposed to believe that a shark is stalking a family to kill them all off?

And even if you could convince me that a shark would plan like that.....add to it that the shark somehow knows that the family has left town and gone to the Carribbean????

Don't know that the others are as stupid at their base level as this one.

I'm giving you a high five for this one. I thought I was the only one on earth that liked it the best.

:highfive:

Name one part 4 that IS good and maybe you'll convince me they don't all suck. Hence they prefer to make trilogies.

You'd have to see Episodes I-III first, and I don't know anyone who has.
