Are you enough of a movie buff to recognize these Seventies movie sequels?

Let's see if you remember Part II or III as well as the original.

 
Sequels are nothing new. Hollywood has been cranking them out for decades. But the practice of summer blockbuster sequels really kicked off in the 1970s. Hit comedies, dramas and action flicks typically got a second — or third — story.

Let's see how well you can recognize these sequels linked to Seventies cinema. Some flopped. Some raked in money. Try to name them all.

You got 11 out of 13
You are the champion! When it comes to spotting movies, you have the eye of the tiger.

Missed on Oliver's Story and More American Graffiti. Didn't see either one.

11/13. I was born in '72 and turned 8 in '80, so to only miss two is pretty good, I think.

From the '80s, but can you tell me which cast members from the original movie appeared in the 1984 sequel "Surf II"?

I only got six right. I was born in 1979 so I guess it wasn’t too bad. I saw a lot of 70’s movies but I will have to watch more.

10/13 most were guesses. Glad guesses still count as a right answer

I can only answer the first one: Sandra Dee who inspired a "Grease" song! Sally Field's version runs Sunday on Decades!

Shock Treatment, according to its star and producer Richard O'Brien, wasn't a sequel nor a prequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show. He's quoted as saying it's an equal.

Well, it has very little to do with TRHPS, but if anything it's an inferior...LOL!

It's like A Fish Called Wanda/Fierce Creatures, where the same actors play characters who are largely similar but not the same people. Same-same with all those British "Carry On" films, or the various "mockumentaries" of Christopher Guest.

That doesn't hold up because they didn't have Susan Sarandon, Barry Boswick or even Tim Curry!

Yep, that scene could only be from the '70's! And the difinitive movie in this sport is Kansas City Bomber with Raquel Welch [where's the obit,MeTV?]!
