Off the top of your head, which movie franchise has had the longest amount of time between sequels?

I'll start:

I think

Last Picture Show (1971) --> Texasville (1990) = 19 years


Any others?

Your asking this question with two very easy answers from this year.

Rambo III (1988)---------Rambo(2008) 20 years
Indiana Jones TLC(1989)------Indiana Jones KOTCS(2008) 19 years

The Hustler (1961)
The Color of Money (1986)

25 years!

too late!

64 years, Bitches!

Gone with the Wind (1939)
Scarlett (1994)

55 years.

Hamlet (1921)
Hamlet 2 (2008)

87 Years

I for one am waiting for Birth of a Nation 2: The Revenge.

There was a sequel to Birth of a Nation made in 1917. It's lost, though.

My money is on Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2000. That's 18 years for a legitimate sequel.

Ah, you're right! Cool! I lose

Psycho and 2. 1960 and 1983

The Odd Couple and The Odd Couple II = 30 Years

I forgot about Odd Couple II. I loved that movie.

No, it's:

The Birth of a Nation 2: Afterbirth

Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz: 46 years.

All these sequels are blasphemies!

Except for The Color of Money.

Superman II (1980)
Superman Returns (2006)

Yes, it counts.

Peter Pan (1953), Return to Neverland (2002) = 49 years

One more that just occured to me.

Wizard of Oz-1939
Return to Oz- 1985

What about a sequel from the same production team? I don't think the same people who did The Wizard of Oz were involved with Return to Oz. Except for Paul Newman and the novel basis connection, I don't think The Hustler and The Color of Money have any mutual production artists. Hmm...

<---- Still waiting for History of the World Part II to come out.

Star Wars Episode III - 2005
Star Wars Episode IV - 1977


-28 years!

Testament of Dr. Mabuse - 1933
The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse - 1960

Both directed and co-written by Fritz Lang.

Blood Feast - 1963
Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat - 2002

39 years

Both Directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis and Produced by David F. Friedman
