: Worst Remake Ripoff Sequel - Handicapping

Check back in the coming days for more information.

"Twilight" sequels "New Moon" and "Eclipse" did not miss in this category for two years running. It seems highly likely that "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" will be back as the series' third consecutive nomination.

With talks of fourth and fifth "Transformers" movies being made, Razzie voters will likely punish this third entry. They had serious disdain for the last one, awarding it Worst Picture. It is a sure thing for a nomination.

Though a number of superhero movies have been less than stellar in recent years, the Razzies have not taken notice. In fact, no superhero movie has made a showing in this category since its 1994 inception. If "Punisher: War Zone" (2008) escaped notice, "Green Lantern" should be safe.

The similarly themed "Clash of the Titans," a miserable remake of another early '80s cult classic, was cited in this category last year. That puts "Conan the Barbarian" in a precarious position. This category is stacked with bad remakes and sequels, but if "Conan" makes a showing anywhere at the Razzies it will be here.

This unfunny sequel to "The Hangover," which was a runaway success, soured many fans. But it is hard to believe they hated it enough to put it in Razzie contention this quickly. There will always be "The Hangover Part III" to dishonor.

"Big Momma's House 2" picked up a nomination in this category back in 2006. The third installment in this series about a cross-dressing detective is even more critically reviled than that film. It also was a minor box office success, which should help keep it on the radar of Razzie voters.

Remakes of TV shows often rear their head in this category. "Sex and the City 2" and "Land of the Lost" were the last two champions. "Smurfs" made just enough money and enemies that it could made an appearance in the Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel category. But star Neil Patrick Harris is so well-liked by everyone. Can he protect it?

"Jack and Jill" already seems like it could get a nod in every other category the Razzies have to offer. Less certain is this category, however. Though this is jokingly listed as a rip-off of Ed Wood's "Glen or Glenda," if it's going to miss any Razzie nomination it'd be this one.

If "The Human Centipede II" cannot break through into Worst Picture, it could still be shortlisted here.  The original film was gross, but this film is vile on another level that might push the Razzies' buttons. They have no fondness for horror sequels, particularly those whose necessity is easily disputed.

It's not clear how these "Alvin and the Chipmunks" films get away from Razzie nominations. It would not be a shocker if "Chipwrecked" threw voters overboard and they finally punished the franchise. But otherwise, count on it to be ignored.

This box office flop had star Milla Jovovich accusing distributor Summit Entertainment of not promoting it. Who can blame them, though? It was destined to fail as soon as critics saw it. But being based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas, it may have enough literary pedigree to escape the notice of the Razzies. Of course, that did not help "The Scarlet Letter" back in 1995...

Thirty years ago, "Arthur" was a heavy hitter at the Oscars with nods for Best Actor and Original Screenplay. Now its remake is very much in play at the Razzies. Russell Brand and Helen Mirren may have charmed viewers in the past, but their schtick in "Arthur" may be exhausting enough to get this cited by Razzie voters.

The fourth dimension this "Spy Kids" flick adds is a sort of Smell-o-vision. The verdict? It stinks. But this film may skew young enough that Razzie voters have not seen it. Of course, they may hate last year's Worst Supporting Actress Jessica Alba enough to make the extra effort.

Though not advertised as a remake of the Oscar-winning film "Cactus Flower" (1969), Adam Sandler vehicle "Just Go with It" takes all the best elements of that film and then ruins them. Can this get nominations across the board?

Films based on folk tales do not get Razzie voters all that riled up. "Red Riding Hood" was a moderate box office success that few critics were fans of. But it was released early in the year and has likely faded enough from public consciousness to be a Razzie contender.

For a few years, horror remakes were always on the Razzies' mind. They nominated "Hostel: Part II" (2007), "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" (2006), "House of Wax" (2005), "Exorcist: The Beginning" (2004), among others, all in a row. "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" is a comparable creature feature nod. This "Jaws" rip-off just might turn Razzie voters into bloodthirsty sharks.
