> [@Aesiron](#): > > You can’t use sequels or you can’t use two films from the same serial? I’ll call it the Steve Guttenberg rule. So you couldn’t have _Police Academy_ --\> Steve Guttenberg --\> Police Academy 2. Once one of the Police Academy pieces is used then they’re all off the board. Ditto _Alien_, _Terminator_, etc. Now where it gets a little tricky, and this might be why you asked, would be the _Star Trek_ movies. For those I’d (personally, but it’s up for debate) separate the original cast and the Next Generation series. Aside: **Ronincyberpunk** , nice play with Ossie Davis. I didn’t realise that he’d passed away while shooting a new film until I read about his replacement this weekend. Another one of those people you recognize but most people can’t name. ---

I was asking mostly because I had used _Star Trek III_ earlier and that’s a sequel of a sequel but it was allowed so I just wanted clarification. ---

If the Star Trek: The Motion Picture or Wrath of Khan had been used then that wouldn’t have been okay. Ditto Mad Max or Road Warrior before Thunderdome above. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Since **Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome** is a sequel (ahem), I’m gonna back up and take Tina Turner to … > > **Last Action Hero** **Twickster** , has any of the series been used? I thought it was okay to start in the middle of a series, just you can only use one of them. See discussion with **Aesiron** above. Perhaps I am mistaken. ---
