But, embracing a technicality, I mentioned that **only** sequels involving **Roman Numerals** don’t count, and therefore these proposals should qualify for the master list. In any case, you are right, that is a lame ass excuse. ::leaves the room in shame:: On another subject: Should have posted **Transylvania 6500** and **The 7 Faces of Dr.Lao** before. **delini8r** and **asesmayo** beat me to the punch. Bad things happen to those who wait. :rolleyes: ---

[b}The Eighteenth Angel\*\* with the gorgeous Rachel Leigh Cook. It was all-right, I guess. Its premise was really dumb, but the movie was sort of fun and the ending was nice. ---

Can I possibly be the first to remember this one? Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace How about Bombers: B-52? Kinda obscure movie, but if I’m remembering the title right it fits… The 5,000 Fingers of Dr T 52 Pick-Up Richard III ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by quasar \* > **The focus of this thread is to provide as many movies that include a number in their title as possible.** If TV movies count, then I have to mention a really crappy TV movie starring my hero, Bruce Campbell; it was called _Assault on Dome 4_. Of celluloid disasters like this, Campbell said, “The movies that are the easiest to make are the hardest to watch.” … and speaking of awful movies, how about _Treasure of the Four Crowns_, from the same mid-80’s crap factory that churned out such pathetic train wrecks on film as _Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn_ and _Megaforce_? Since someone already pointed out _Megazone 23_ and _Ranma 1/2_, then I assume anime falls under the category of foreign movies. That would include any of the Lupin III movies - _Lupin III and the Castle of Cagliostro_, for example, which is the finest animated movie ever made. Plus, we can do _Golgo 13_, can’t we? Unfortunately we can’t include _Eight Man_, _3x3 Eyes_, _Cyber City 080_, and _Iron Man #28_ (AKA _Gigantor_) because those were TV/video series and not movies; and that would open a whole new can of worms! * * * Pete Long time RGMWer and ardent AOLer [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/number-that-movie/37179.md?page=3)
