  1. I am a movie fanatic but i didn't know queen of the damned was a sequel mainly because i didn't get into interview with a Vampire i tried to watch it but couldn't find an interest for it however I did know about all the other titles but to be honest i have never seen the hustler but i did know the color of money was a sequel to that film

  2. Most of these are what's called a "soft sequel" and everybody knew they were loosely tied to the first movie. Queen of the Damned was literally one of the next books in the series by Anne Rice. What is this list.

  3. Downfall was a sequel to Fury which was a sequel to Saving Private Ryan which was a sequel to Pearl Harbour. There is also the prequel trilogy Sgt York, 1917 and All Quiet on the Western Front. The series continues with The Bridges at Toko-ri, Full metal Jacket, Apocolypse Now, Jarhead, 3 Kings, The Hurt Locker…….

  4. Be Cool was always known as a follow-up to Get Shorty, there's no secret about it, even Elmore Leonard said. I didn't even get 30 seconds in to know that WatchMojo's "research" team is really f'n stupid if WM thinks this is believable. Are y'all living in bomb shelters or did you snort some bad cokke?

  5. Everyone knew that that was a Star Trek movie. We all knew what was going on. It’s now called the Kelvin universe. I don’t really think that one should be on the list I mean it had the same name.
