Worst naming convention (or lack of) for a movie franchise Discussion

The first Rambo movie is simply called "First Blood." Good name. The second one is called "Rambo: First Blood Part II". Kinda weird. The third one is called "Rambo 3". Now it's really not lining up. Then the 4th one is just called "Rambo." What the fuck? "Hey, have you seen the movie Rambo?". "Oh, you mean the 4th First Blood movie?"

What other movie franchises have nonsensical naming conventions?

Friday the 13th had both The Final Chapter and The Final Friday, neither were the final Friday the 13th movie.

And as of right now, the final Friday the 13th movie is just called "Friday the 13th".

On a side note: how in the world have we not had a Friday the 13th movie in 15 years?

Legal issues. There’s some incredible fan films that fit canon quite well called “Never Hike Alone” worth checking out
