Waxworks 2- Trapped In Time Starts off with a disembodied evil hand escaping the destruction from the first film. ---

> [@Sr\_Siete](#): > > The Army of Darkness starts with the last scene from The Evil Dead II. Sort of. Anyway, this is my boomstick. Evil Dead 2 itself did this, sort of, though recapping the first movie through reinactments instead because they didn’t have rights to the actual footage. But even Back To The Future 2 used a reinactment (to replace whoever it was in the original with Elizabeth Shue), so if that counts… ---

Doesn’t _The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest_ pick up right where _The Girl Who Played with Fire_ left off? This is in the Swedish films though I would bet the new ones will do the same. Maybe you could argue the first and second of the Swedish films qualify depending how strict you want to be. I think there is a time lapse but it is a similar lapse or scene cut that could occur if it was one movie instead of the divider between two movies. I honestly don’t remember where each ends and another begins since I watched them (and read the books) pretty close together.
