Numbered Sequels: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' movies did this starting with ''[[Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan (Film)|Wrath of Khan]]'' and ending with ''[[Star Trek VI the Undiscovered Country (Film)|Undiscovered Country]]'', spanning all of the films based on [[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|the original series]]. Movies based on ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|The Next Generation]]'' abandoned that though they are sometimes referred to as 7 through 10 by the fans. As the [[Star Trek (Film)|2009 film]] is simply called ''Star Trek'', it is also unofficially referred to as ''Star Trek XI''.

** In fact, the original onscreen title for the second movie (and its novelization) was simply ''Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan''. The "II" was added to later prints and home-video editions.

** Of course, after reaching double-digits the movies started to go out of their away to avoid mentioning what number they were up to, as if out of embarrassment. Re-releases of the sequels on DVD rarely state the number of the movie anymore either.

* The ''[[Saw]]'' film series went from 1 to 6 (using Roman numerals for the second to sixth films). Then an [[Oddly Named Sequel|Oddly Numbered Sequel]] (at least over here) is the seventh movie, known as ''Saw 3D''.
