how many movie (Part 5)'s are there?

[zombie no.one]

how many movie franchises can we name that actually reached a Part 5/Part V?

- why?...I just get the impression once something has reached a "part 5" then it has surely run out of steam and is just scraping the barrel. 4 is pushing it, but 5 almost definitely means they're running on autopilot. I may be wrong in some cases in which case feel free to point it out

some I can think of:

Friday 13th Part 5: A New Beginning
Halloween 5
Rocky V
The Howling 5: The Rebirth
Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter
Child's Play 5: Seed Of Chucky
Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach - ok I have a soft spot for this, but it's not a 'good' movie
Saw V
Final Destination 5

added;
Fast & The Furious 5

The Dead Pool (5th Dirty Harry)

Trevor's special suggestion: Leonard Part 6

were any of these even close to being the best in the series?

add on any you can think of...

Hm...there is also Fast & Furious 5 aka the Part where the franchise started to be fun. I liked the Japan-Setting of 3 (and the Introduction of my favourite Character of the Franchise - Han), but 1,2 and 4 aren't good by any chance.

Well, going by just reaching movie #5 and beyond..

There are 8 Harry  Potter films. Though I really can't attest to quality because I really haven't watched them all. 

Both Godzilla and James Bond have movie franchises that reach into the twenties.  Although continuity could be questioned on them.  Speaking of which, the fifth Godzilla film is Ghidrah: The Three Headed Monster which introduces Godzilla's arch nemesis.  Its usually held high in the fandom.

And going by numbering or chronological continuity Empire Strikes Back is the 5th Star Wars movie, and its usually considered the best of the franchise.

Death Wish and Dirty Harry both had 5-movie franchises. However, the latter was much more successful when it came to producing sequels.

[Bushma]

Nightmare on Elm St 5

[retrorussell]

Children of the Corn
Witchcraft
Silent Night, Deadly Night

[akiratubo]

You could count AVP: Requiem as Part 5 of the Alien franchise.  (No, no, no, AVP couldn't be the fifth, because there never was a fourth film, called Alien: Resurretion.  Never.)

[Trevor]

STAR TREK V THE FINAL FRONTIER was pretty good, IMO.

[bob]

Star Wars

[Chainsawmidget]

Hammer's Dracula and Frankenstein movies both had more than five sequels.

good point. not seen them either (just the odd 15mins here and there when they come on tv) but they're held in very high regard by a lot of people so I guess they go in the 'good movie' category. They all seem to be known by their full names as well i.e. "Goblet Of Fire" as opposed to 'Harry Potter Part 2' or 'Harry Potter V' etc...

And going by numbering or chronological continuity Empire Strikes Back is the 5th Star Wars movie, and its usually considered the best of the franchise.

Star Wars

Star Wars is a strange one. For the purposes of this thread I would say the Part 5 is the 5th one they made, not the one that is supposed to be the fifth chronologically in the storyline. What do you guys reckon?

thanks for the other suggestions, I'll add them to the list in the first post

Hammer's Dracula and Frankenstein movies both had more than five sequels. 

do you know what both their 'Part 5's were called, so I can add them to the list?

(I'm guessing it's not Dracula Part 5 and Frankenstein V)

[Gst0395]

I noticed alot of Universal horror flicks back in the 30s and 40s had a good amount of sequels produced. Characters like Frankenstein, Wolf Man and Invisible Man usually spawned several sequels, some of those being crossovers with other monsters or Abbott and Costello.

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
and
Taste the Blood of Dracula

I believe there are five films in  "The Prophecy" series, but I've only seen the first.

*edit: I just consulted my good friend Dr. Wik E. Pedia, and yep, the fifth film in the series, "The Prophecy: Forsaken," came out in 2005.*
