Something imaginative other then just, “Movie Part 2” etc. Two of my favorites are: “2 Fast 2 Furious” “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” Actually all of the Sharknado sequels have funny names. ---

Spaceballs 2: the Search for More Money [If You Don’t Stop It…You’ll Go Blind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You_Don%27t_Stop_It..._You%27ll_Go_Blind) led to a sequel titled [Can I Do It 'Til I Need Glasses?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_I_Do_It..._%27Til_I_Need_Glasses%3F) ---

Not catchy names, but a joke on lame sequels just named II or III: Naked Gun 2 1/2 Naked Gun 33 1/3 ETA: wait, I just checked IMDB! They even _had_ catchy names, which I’ve never noticed before, though I went to all the Naked Gun films when they came out and have seen them numerous times: Naked Gun 2 1/2 - The Smell Of Fear Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult ---

The third Naked Gun film was originally supposed to have the subtitle _Just for the Record_, but the producers thought no one would understand the joke. _Any Which Way You Can_ would probably qualify for this category. ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > That’s a shame, because it would’ve been awesome, and shows one more time that movie business people think their customers are idiots. It would have been regarded as a movie aimed at boomers. I imagine it was the marketing department that decided against that. Even in 1994 nobody wanted their movie to be targeted at boomers. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > _The Thin Man > After the Thin Man_ (Takes place a week after the first movie) > _Shadow of the Thin Man > The Thin Man Goes Home > Song of the Thin Man_ Since the titular “Thin Man” was not Nick Charles but was the murder victim (a fact which everyone forgets), the last two titles make no sense at all, and the one before that is only marginally possible. Sorry if that is a spoiler for an 87-year-old movie. ---

Even in 1994 nobody wanted their movie to be targeted at boomers. That just proves my point. I’m a typical gen-xer, and I understood the 33 1/3 reference just fine. ---

You’re technically right, but everyone conflated “The Thin Man” with Nick and Nora Charles from the beginning. ---

No, no, Nick Charles is “The Drunk Man”. Seriously, have you ever counted how many drinks Nick & Nora had? And they played it that way, acting half-sloshed for a big chunk of the films. ---
