Lots of sequels this year.....The most interesting one is "Mad Max 2". The first one was never shown in Sweden, I think it was banned, and after seeing a bootleg copy of "Mad Max 2" prior to its release I never thought it would be showed in Sweden. But under the name "The Road warrior" it was and the reviews were surprisingly good. The Omen series was another interesting event. I remember mixing up the dates so I saw part III before part II.

Steel - Dog soldiers - Amityville II - Mad Max 2 - First Blood - Sharks - Squirm - Creepshow - Man eater - Jönssonligan och Dynamit Harry - The Omen - The final conflict - Damien Omen II - Gandhi - Videodrome - Apocalypse now - Psycho II - Octopussy - Halloween III - High road to China - The meaning of life -
