Part Deux

There's plenty of complaint-fodder in Empire Magazine's list of the 50 greatest sequels, but probably the most egregious entry is for The French Connection II, which shouldn't be on the list in the first place, let alone at #16.

For those not familiar with The French Connection II, it plays just like one of those joke sequel pitches at the beginning of The Player. "So Popeye gets addicted to heroin, but he kicks it through SHEER FORCE OF WILL. Then, remember that French guy who got away at the end of the first movie? Popeye totally gets to shoot him in the face."

Also, Aliens at #1? I like that movie, but c'mon, guys.
