Sequels that do not have similar title as original
Here's a few I thought of where you can never tell by titles alone that they're at all related:
The Last Picture Show Texasville Chinatown The Two Jakes Clerks Mallrats Chasing Amy Dogma Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back James Bond movies Any more? |
Manhunter
Silence Of The Lambs Hannibal |
First Blood was followed by First Blood Part II:Rambo and Rambo 3
The Man with No Name "Trilogy" (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) Born Losers, Billy Jack, Trial of Billy Jack, Billy Jack Goes to Washington The Star Wars films Raiders of the Lost Ark and its two sequels Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile King Solomon's Mines and Alan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold |

A Fish Called Wanda
Fierce Creatures |
Casualties of War (1989)
The Visitors (1972) - sort of a fictional sequel to Casualties of War maybe: The Carpetbaggers Nevada Smith - the character Nevada Smith (played by Steve McQueen) appeared earlier as a supporting character in the film The Carpetbaggers (played by Alan Ladd), more a spin-off I suppose, as Nevada Smith tells the story of the character's early days also maybe: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Mysterious Island - because of the Captain Nemo connection |
A Very Brady Sequel

Originally posted by GuessWho Clerks Mallrats Chasing Amy Dogma Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back Okay.. this is wrong, wrong, wrong. None of these movies are sequels. The best you could feasibly argue is that Jay & Silent Bob is a sequel to the other 4 as one. And because of that, it makes it the weakest, lamest thing that Kevin Smith has done. It's true that there is minimal connection between the movies but that alone does not garner a sequel. That would be like saying Pulp Fiction is a sequel to R. Dogs. The fact that fans and Smith himself started to correlate these movies as such is really how I feel his writing style weakened in his last 2 movies. And it was a smart move on his behalf to kill it. I am looking forward to his next flick SOO much now that he does not need to appease people who got way to sucked into the concept of his movies being one universe. |

Originally posted by Aaron Amos First there was "The Brady Bunch Movie", then the next year Paramount came up with the sequel called "A Very Brady Sequel". The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel have very similar titles. What the original poster is asking for is movie sequels that have totally different titles, such as Hannibal -> Silence of the Lambs. |

Originally posted by RevLiver I didn't think Fierce Creatures was a sequel to A Fish Called Wanda. I don't think the cast plays the same characters. I can redeem myself though... The Pink Panther A Shot in the Dark |
