"Let's hear it for Police Academy 8!"
Yes, they are putting new wheels on that turkey.
There were also Nine "nightmare on elm street" movies, and a dozen "friday the 13th" films. Not to mention four "Aliens".
And then we have howevermany Star Trek outings, and that stream of "national lampoon" things, and, if you wish, the Romantic Comedy/chick flick genera based on how stupid men are the week before they get married, which are all essentially the same movie, but with a few new toilet jokes.
So, which set is the best Bad Example of how low Hollywood can go in its effort to get you to overpay for a ticket and popcorn?
And we can go all the way back to the beginning of film and including the competing Tarzan franchises both based, more or less loosely, on the Burroughs' books.
Oh, and we mustn't forget James Bond.
