Line 48:
** Another sequel, provisionally titled ''The Naked Gun 444.4'' or ''The Naked Gun 4 Score and 3 Sequels Ago'' was in development in the late '90s, although obviously nothing came of it.
* ZAZ didn't want to have anything to do with ''[[Airplane!]] II - The Sequel'', (and even claim to this day to have never watched it), even though they'd later make sequels to ''Naked Gun'' and ''[[Hot Shots]]!''. ''Airplane II'' lampshades the trope with the announcement at the end of the credits "Coming soon from Paramount Pictures : ''Airplane III''" followed by William Shatner saying "Wait! That's exactly what they'll be expecting us to do!"
** Speaking of ''[[Hot Shots]]!'': its sequel was ''Hot Shots! Part Deux'',<ref>[[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|French]] for two</ref> with the tagline, "Just [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|Deux]] It!"
* The ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' remake proved popular enough to warrant a couple of sequels. Instead of using the rather cumbersome ''Ocean's Eleven Two'' or somesuch, the makers dubbed the sequels ''Ocean's Twelve'' and ''Ocean's Thirteen''. This led to many jokes about where the first 10 movies went.
** And the titles end up being spot-on with the number of people involved in the main heist (12 adds Ocean's wife, 13 adds [[Enemy Mine|the antagonist of the other movies]] and a technical expert).
