The New Return of Son of Sequel Rides Again IV: The Introduction Film companies in the last decade have milked formulas for all they're worth. For 1989 alone, there were some forty-five major motion pictures which were sequels or part of a series, from American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt to Zapped Again, and including what have become near annual offerings of Friday the 13th, Police Academy and Star Trek. The $250 million box office success of Batman assures sequels for years to come. Nineteen eighty-nine is not an isolated year; there were some forty sequel or series films distributed in 1988, twenty or more in each of the two years before that (including Dirty Harry, Superman and Delta Force entries). And at this writing nearly twenty-five are already in production for 1990, among them Godfather III, Gremlins 2, 48 HRS. II, Class of Nuke 'Em High II, Ernest Goes to Jail and Rocky V. It’s gotten so blatant that in Back to the Future 2, a good chuckle is provided by a visual gag in which a movie marquee - without great exaggeration — advertises Jaws 19. {Back to the Future 3, by the way, is being released in 1990.)
