The Howling II: Your Agent Is an Idiot

He did end up Apologising to Joe Dante

You can't tell how a movie is going to turn out. The "Howling II" we got was not the "Howling II" that Lee signed up for. The producers kept asking Gary Brandner to re-write the script every other week because the circumstances of making the film kept changing. When he quit, they got Robert Sarno to finish the script. He then threw away everything Brandner wrote and converted a vampire movie that didn't get made into the new "Howling" film.

Hell, the "Howling II" we got wasn't even the "Howling II" they shot. It was shot as a silly tongue-in-cheek movie. Then at the last moment, the producers decided they wanted a scary movie, and the film was completely re-edited without Phillipe Mora's input.

Lee just signed on because he had never made a werewolf movie before and they offered him the second "Howling" movie. "The Howling" had been a huge success, so of course, he'd sign on. There's no way he could know what would befall the film as they went along.
