I laughed when they came out with **I Still Know What You Did Last Summer** … it showed they weren’t taking the franchise too seriously. We joked that were going to wait for **It Just Occurred To Me While Taking A Walk That I Can’t Stop Thinking About What You Did Last Summer** … ---

They really missed the boat with the third Rambo movie. The first one was “First Blood”. The second one was “Rambo: First Blood Part 2”. The third one should not have been “Rambo III”, it should have been “Rambo II: First Blood Part 3”. ---

The second Home Alone movie should have been called **Away From Home Alone** , not Lost in New York. Was Kevin ever even lost in the movie? ---

**A Fistful of Dollars** was followed by **For A Few Dollars More** Killer baby movie **It’s Alive** followed by **It Lives Again** And of course F_riday the 13th: The Final Chapte_r, despite the word “final”, was followed by _Friday the 13th: A New Beginning_ ---

But the movie is from Kevin’s perspective. He’s not lost. He is an apex predator. ---

Not a real sequel and I’ve not seen the movies past the second one but… If they don’t call the next 0ne Fast 10 Your Seatbelts, then it’s the big miss of the decade. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movie-sequels-with-catchy-names/949020.md?page=1)
