9 right out of 10. I guessed wrong on "Muscle Beach Party." I don't remember watching any of those "beach party" movies from the 60's. That's probably why I missed that question.

Ten out of ten. I wasn't even aware of Bonzo Goes to College, but, having seen Bedtime for Bonzo, it wasn't hard to figure out it was a sequel.

And, for some reason, I got wondering if The Graduate had a sequel, and... it does, at least, the novel that was the basis of the movie does, called Home School, written in the mid 2000s but set about 10 years after the events in The Graduate.

TRUE! And would you believe there was a play with Kathleen Turner as Mrs. Robinson, Jason Biggs as Benjamin and Alicia Slverstone as Elaine?

8/10 I missed #'s 1 and 5. I figured that "Muscle Beach Party" must have been the original but no, there was actually one before it called "Beach Party". I don't think that I ever saw any of the seven beach party films nor do I think that I am missing anything in not seeing them.

2 of these NEVER had a sequel! The Graduate & Bonnie & Clyde [hard to have a sequel when your 2 leads are gunned down in the final scene...LOL!]!

Sequels don’t always feature the leads. Often just a character who was in the movie.

1 was a sequel to Father Of The Bride with Spencer Tracy & Elizabeth Taylor! Bonus Question: Did the Steve Martin remake have a sequel?
scp cperrynaples 3 months ago
Yes, though with a twist I doubt the people behind Father's Little Dividend would ever have thought of.

TRUE! FLD had the daughter become pregnant whereas FOTB 2.0 had Diane Keaton also pregnant!
