slipjig3This is from memory, so bear with me:
7 Movie Sequels and Prequels That Aren't What They Say They Are
1) Surf 2: There was no Surf 1. Title is a joke. Ha, ha.
2) Loaded Weapon 1: See #1. Actually, they did plan on a part 2 (tag line: "Oh, come on, you knew it was coming"), until the original tanked. Oh, well.
3) Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter: Not even close to being the last movie in the series; there have been at least seven more since.
4) Rambo III: More accurately titled First Blood, Part III, but since everyone referred to part 2 as simply Rambo (which was far more successful than the original anyway), the alternate title was used to draw viewers.
5) Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins: And ends. All sequels were canceled following the film's lackluster business.
6) History of the World Part I: A Mel Brooks in-joke, with no sequels planned or intended (despite a "coming attractions" gag at the end).
7) Leonard Part 6: According to the film's conceit, parts 1 through 6 were classified as Top Secret in the interest of national security. Thank God.
