Title: Movie Sequels
Post by: rbcp on March 31, 2010, 08:54:43 AM
What's the longest running series of movie sequels ever?  Not TV shows.  I thought it might be Police Academy movies since it seemed like there was a billion of those, but I guess there's only actually 7.  My daughter guessed the James Bond series, but are those considered sequels?  I've never seen any of them.  Harry Potter will have 8 movies.  Halloween has 8 or 9, but isn't the latest one considered a reboot?  Friday the 13th has 9, I guess.  Star Trek maybe?

i could have sworn that there were at least 10 friday the 13ths... (there are 9 in my box set, including freddy vs. jason.. but i thought there was at least one more - friday the 13 X)

looks like there was another one made in 2002 after X which would make it 11 movies if you count freddy vs jason, or 10 if you do not) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th_%28franchise%29

there have been 28 godzilla movies + 1 american version.. 2 other godzilla movies in the making for 2011 and 2012

james bond has 22 with one in production

Godzilla doesn't fucking count.

Rush has 11 movies... but it seems they all have a similar plot.

Pokémon will have 13 movies pretty soon.

what disqualifies godzilla?

from what i have seen - so far it has the most sequels of any film franchise...

as for rush having 11 movies.. funny that i can not find any info about a filmography from them...  you would think at least that someone would have mentioned movies, or films on the wiki page for the band...

but i would have to disqualify movies by rush as since there is no proof of these movies existence - and if they do exist they are more likely not considered sequels...

no, don't mutilate the Friday The 13th series, please.

there was 1-8, then the remake.

Freddy vs. Jason is actually a freddy movie, Jason goes to hell and Jason X are "jason" movies and almost fucked up the whole series for me, i am in denial that they exist.  The TV show had nothing to do with the movie series either. 

I bet it's james bond.  aren't there like 52 of them? dating back to like the early or mid 1900's?

what about killer cut a 2009 friday the 13th...

as for freddy vs jason... it is in neither box set... since it is a cross over of both franchises... regardless of if people think it is more of a nightmare or friday 13th movie - it probably does not qualify as a sequel ...

and according to wiki there are only 22 james bond films..
