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

The Razzie Award for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel is an award presented at the annual Golden Raspberry Awards for the worst prequel, remake, rip-off, or sequel of the previous year, whether the remake was deliberate, a parody, or simply a film with a coincidental plot resembling some previous work. The following is a list of nominees and recipients of that award, including each film's distribution company. From 1994 to 2005, the category was 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. The award was not presented in 1996 and 1999.

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).
