* While ''[[Frankenstein]]'' is widely remembered as a horror classic, most of what is associated with the monster comes from ''[[Bride of Frankenstein]]'', which is considered one of the best sequels in history.
* While the first two ''[[Puppet Master]]'' movies are fairly decent horror flicks, the third one, which actually goes into Andre Toulon's back story, is considered a classic.
* Amid the bad movies that were released in the ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' franchise, ''

* ''[[Just Cause (video game)|Just Cause]]'' was a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] game with a few nice ideas (like giving you a parachute you can use at almost any time) and some beautiful vistas, but had clumsy controls, kind of boring characters and was definitely not something you'd want to pay full price for. ''Just Cause 2'', however, vastly improves your ability to use the grappling hook in conjunction with the parachute, all but allowing you to ''fly'' around the landscape, and has tons of things for you to blow up whenever you want, making it a solid A-list title.

** ''Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream'' is, bluntly, terrible, suffering from cheating AI, little plot, ugly graphics, and boring battles. ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' still isn't great, but is at least reasonably passable. The AI cheats less blatantly, a fairly interesting story, it's fairly pretty, and you're actually dodging your opponent's patterns instead of stage enemies.
