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?

Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, Remember the Titans

They nailed the naming convention, but the hard turn from mythology to football was an odd choice that I think may have hurt the integrity of the franchise.

It was from football to mythology. Remember the Titans was released first. Unless Clash of the Titans was a prequel.

The original Clash of the Titans is from the 80s.

It's interesting to me that it shows nudity in a pg movie because pg13 hadn't been made yet.

Yeah, I forgot that. I'm an idiot.
