What movie sequel is batshit insane compared to the original?

I watched Gremlins 2 for the first time in years the other day and wow, that movie is wacky when compared to the original. It breaks the fourth wall numerous times, such as having Leonard Maltin getting attacked while reviewing the first Gremlins, and really comes off as almost a parody of that movie (there's also a hilarious Key & Peele sketch about the brainstorming process of Gremlins 2 that perfectly sums up how crazy it is). I don't think I've ever seen a movie sequel say "screw it, we're gonna do whatever the hell we want" the way Gremlins 2 did. Also, the brainy Gremlin is still hilarious 30+ years later.Another one that comes to mind is Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. While not up to the levels of craziness that Gremlins 2 hits, Tobe Hooper went in a completely different direction for the sequel to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Whereas the first one had a very gritty and realistic feel, the sequel goes in a much more comedic/cartoony direction and just has a completely different tone than it's predecessor. Dark humor scenes like the deranged cook winning a chili contest with chili made from the family's victims and other things like the Chop Top character would have felt way out of place in the original movie.So any other movie sequels out there that would fall into the "batshit insane compared to the original" category? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/8ScwrAF
