The [[Sequelitis|"sequel"]] to ''[[Donnie Darko]]'' no fan will admit exists. Richard Kelly has stated that he has not had anything to do with it whatsoever. It is generally considered as a great example of a Hollywood dick move. It does have some redeeming features however, such as the [[Scenery Porn|stunning cinematography]] and [[The Nineties|nineties]] pop songs.

=== This film provides examples of: ===
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]
* [[Badass Preacher]]
Line 21 ⟶ 19:
* [[Retcon]]: Many things mentioned in S.Darko, such as their family still living in Virginia contradicts the [[Word of God]] from the first movie. Samantha also somehow got Donnie's copy of "The Philosophy of Time Travel", complete with Frank drawings by Donnie, even though he only got a copy of the book in the tangent universe in the original.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Really good scenery porn at that!
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]: Iraq Jack. He claims to have done some [[Moral Event Horizon|bad things]] during the [[Gulf War]], but nobody seems to take him seriously.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]] {{spoiler|Jeremy}}
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: It seems as though all of the male leads were chosen for looking like Donnie Darko.
* [[The Nineties]]
