What about Apollo 13? Shouldn’t they have released the first twelve movies first?

And the first five Leonards were probably not released for good reason seeing how bad #6 was.

I heard the first one really lit 'em up in previews!
I’m so ashamed of myself.

Did they make a Malcolm XI that I didn’t see?

Since it’s the second flick, it’s called Malcolm In The Middle.

A lot of people forget that there never was a movie titled Rambo II. There was First Blood, then Rambo: First Blood Part II, then Rambo III.

Yeah, that one’s always bothered me too.
I still think the last movie should have been named “Rambo II: First Blood Part III”.

The very first movie to use the concention (if you don’t count those old silent 5 minute movies) was Quatermass 2 <snip> (Note that the “2” was Indo-Arabic, not Roman)
[/QUOTE]
Actually, it seems as though both “2” and “II” were used for the film version in the UK (see movie poster here). The TV series on which it was based was apparently always “II”, however.
I was just thinking about Quatermass 2 the other day, after reading this thread about the radiation-loving black fungi thriving in the Chernobyl reactor. Hope nobody falls in…

The Quatermass TV series were before my time, but they’re apparently now out on DVD. Have you seen them, Cal? If so, what do you think?

The King and II
Sadly, I can’t take credit for that one.
wouldn’t have spaceballs 2: the quest for more money been the first sequel to be released before the original had finished production?
They actually came out on VHS, before the advent of DVD, and I picked up the TV serial of “Quatermass and the Pit” (Actually, the scripts were published by Penguin books in the 1960s, and I have copies of those. I lucked out.) My verdict: I like the ship from the TV version better, and they don’t make some of the stupid mistakes of the movie (“It’s a pentacle”, sais Quatermass, meaning “pentagram”, only the mark isn’t a pentagram.), and the style of the TV show seems more realistic. On the other hand, it’s so sl-o-o-o-o-o-o-w and b-o-o-o-o-oring.
Also, the TV serial plots are a bit different. Quatermass Xperiment on TV ends differently from the movie. The climactic demon “Hob” for Quatermass and the Pit looks better from TV than from the feature film.
I’m still waiting for The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Against the World Crime League, dammit.
