Worst Casting for a Movie Sequel?

I'll start the ball rolling with Mac Davis and Jackie Gleason for "The Sting II".

Umm... Redford and Newman were busy, but these guys are JUST AS GOOD! LOL

9. Yeah, that one jumped the shark in a single bound.

That one was a real all-star crapathon.

7. Vincent "Acting, what's acting?" Perez in

Technically it's a different character, but the Crow/zombie/vengeance dude was the same.

10. does this count?

Jackie Mason in Caddyshack 2 sort of filling for Rodney Dangerfield's Al Czervic, though Mason's character was an abstraction (different first name, same last name) if his gas station owner from The Jerk.

Man that movie sucked.

11. Yeah adapted characters meant to "fill in" for the original, unavailable

actor's character count for full credit, we know what the hell they were trying to pull! LOL

14. I'm going to bed... I'll have to work on some responses to this tomorrow.

This concept has promise, LOL.

My trivia powers are not sufficient to pull more examples just off the top of my head though.
