Bad movie prequel ideas

[Capt. Obvious]

I occasionally like to think of movies that would make terrible prequels.

For example:

American History IX

Titanic: Call At Cherbourg

Can you think of some terrible ideas for movie prequels? We can sell them to Hollywood since they would probably buy it.
