If this isn't variety - you're admirably the greatest denier! Ud 07/04/13

Including thousands of sequels with a ‘number’ after them is absolutely pointless and a waste of qwerty time.

Although some maybe the same genre, these remain standalone films that bear no rhyme, reason or connection to any other mentioned.
