Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel

The Razzie Award for Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel is an award presented at the annual Golden Raspberry Awards for the worst film adapted from some forms of original or previous material. This category covers films that are sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, spin-offs, film adaptations of other media franchises, mockbusters and "rip-offs".

History
From 1994 to 2005, the category was first titled Worst Remake or Sequel. The category was divided into Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Remake or Rip-off in 2006 and 2007. The categories were again merged in 2008 to form Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel, and it was shortened to the present title since 2012. The award was not presented in 1996 and 1999. ==Criteria==
Criteria
Despite not being mentioned in the name of the award, film adaptations of other media (books, graphic novels, cartoons, etc.) are eligible for nomination (extending the term "remake" broadly to include adaptations). Razzie nominations have also stretched the definition on occasion; for example, Jack & Jill was described as a "Remake/Ripoff of Glen or Glenda" despite bearing no resemblance beyond that they both feature male actors portraying both male and female characters; this was widely viewed as an excuse to nominate the film in every category. Similarly, Karen was described as an "Inadvertent Remake of Cruella" despite the lack of any real similarity between the two films, and The Meg was listed as a rip-off of Jaws despite both films having little in common beyond having a giant shark as villain. ==Worst Remake or Sequel (1994–2005)==
