yeah was thinking about this one... remake, and then sequel to the remake. no reason why it shouldn't count
same deal with
THE HILLS HAVE EYES / THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2
the 70s original and the 2000s remake both have 1 sequel...
the AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN (1957) had WAR OF THE COLASSAL BEAST (1958) and the you never seen his big ass again.

There are a couple of little-known Porky's sequels, "Porky's Revenge" and "Porky's Pimpin' Pee Wee" (2009).
I don't think I'd include the "Savage Beach" movies either, since they're both part of a larger Andy Sidaris series. "Savage Beach" is itself a sequel to "Picasso Trigger."
But I can't think of anything actually constructive to add!

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER has a 'Part 2' from the 90s... I saw it within the last year or so, and remember nothing about it. :question:
Buddy Cooper has directed and previewed his new sequel to his 80s slasher THE MUTILATOR, and I am itching to see it!!!! there's a trailer up on youtube since a couple of years back, but the movie itself seems to be stuck in 'release hell' - if that's a thing?
that's the only 80s slasher with a part 2 (and no further sequels) that I can think of....

There are actually three sequels and the company which made the first two Gods films sued the 💩 out of the Chinese knockoff filmmakers for making those turgid and unlawful sequels.

Didn't even know that existed! Terrible idea.
On a similar theme:
Screamers (1995)
Screamers: The Hunting (2009)
I quite like the first one - Peter Weller is a great actor. I haven't seen the sequel because he's not in it for one thing.
sequels that don't retain the core original cast members are usually pretty redundant, or just clutching at straws... like the Macauley Culkin-less HOME ALONE sequels. (although with something like the FRIDAY 13TH sequels it doesn't matter)
I was gonna suggest HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS / BLEW UP THE KID, and LOOK WHO'S TALKING / LOOK WHO'S TALKING TOO... did not realise till checking now that they both had more than one sequel...
also just noticed there was a CLERKS 3 recently...
one more that does count:

There's no connection that links those films whatsoever, that I know of.
The only connection both movies have is the same producer according to wiki.
QuoteThough the film's title and story loosely resemble that of Abel Ferrara's 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, according to Herzog, it is neither a sequel nor a remake; its only commonality is a corrupt policeman as the central character. Nonetheless, the director of the original Bad Lieutenant film, Abel Ferrara, expressed dismay that the Herzog film was being made. Both Bad Lieutenant films were produced by Edward R. Pressman.
IMDb lists a "connection" between both movies without explaining why they are connected.

I'll leave BAD LIEUTENANT in for the moment... like I said in the original post, things are gonna get ambiguous. to me it doesn't matter if there's no real connection between the films, long as they are 'considered' to be sequels. (look at TROLL / TROLL 2)... although BL: PORT OF CALL is an anomaly for sure

It's almost like NEW ORLEANS is a reboot, or reimagining. Definitely not a sequel.

QuoteFerrara was quoted as saying "As far as remakes go, ... I wish these people die in Hell. I hope they're all in the same streetcar, and it blows up."[16] When asked later for his response to Ferrara's statements, Herzog stated that he does not know who Ferrara is, saying "I've never seen a film by him.

Do SCANNER COP and SCANNER COP 2 count as 'original + lone sequel', when they could also technically be considered the 4th and 5th movies in the SCANNERS franchise?
