From Collateral and The Transporter, to Machete and Spy Kids, these 10 movies are 'secret sequels,' according to Reddit.
Reddit users recently got together on r/movies, the largest film subreddit, to discuss the best "secret sequels." By this, they mean movies that weren't marketed as sequels but appear to take place in a shared universe or feature some of the same characters.
9 'Split' and 'Unbreakable' M. Night Shyamalan's Split centers on Kevin Wendell Crumb , a man with 23 distinct personalities. When Kevin kidnaps three young girls, they must navigate the shifting personalities and attempt to escape. It's a sequel to Shyamalan's superhero movie Unbreakable starring Bruce Willis, but it was not marketed as such.
More than that, the writer of both films Peter Morgan followed The Queen with 2010's The Special Relationship also starring Sheen as Blair, thus making the films an informal trilogy. "[There are] three films starring Michael Sheen as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair [...] but none marketed as sequels to any of the others," Redditor RealJohnGillman explains.
In that film, Isador "Machete" Cortez is the uncle of the spy kids Juni and Carmen Cortez . "Some seem to miss that he played the character in Spy Kids first, technically making Machete a Spy Kids spin-off," said Redditor RealJohnGillman. 4 'The Ninth Configuration' and 'The Exorcist' Horror classic The Exorcist was written by William Peter Blatty, who later wrote and directed another horror called The Ninth Configuration, about a former marine who takes on a job running a mental institution in a remote castle.
2 'Enemy of the State' and 'The Conversation' The Conversation is a minor masterpiece by Francis Ford Coppola in which Gene Hackman plays a surveillance expert who begins to suspect that a conversation he recorded might have dangerous implications. In Tony Scott's Enemy of the State, Hackman plays Edward Lyle, a former NSA communications expert, who appears to be very similar to the character from The Conversation.
