Nice try Francis, but Planet of the Apes had sequels before you! I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of others as well, but this was the first to come to mind
There have been some great sequels. Lethal Weapon 2 was really good.
As was the second part of Dune.
Aliens was maybe even better than Alien.
Some of the Batman movies with Christian Bale were really good.
All sorts of Gidget movies had sequels too. What Coppola is copping to is inventing “numbered” sequels (II, III etc).
Quatermass II (1957) gets no respect, apparently.

… so the credit goes to numbering something that already existed?
Those people pat themselves on the back for Everything!
he was apologizing for putting in the part 2 in the title. I dont think he has any regret on making the sequels.
There were 5 Thin Man pics. 6 invloving Frankenstein monster. I don’t know how many Francis Talking Mule pics, five Dr. Kildares. So I don’t know where Coppala is coming from here.
Coppola hit it big with the Godfather movies
but his $120 million Megaloplis bombed......
So he’s making up stuff so he can pump the flop.
Probably has a lot of his own money in the bomb.
That’s correct.
“Trial of Billy Jack.”
Go back farther. FRANKENSTEIN, SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN, ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEETS FRANKENSTEIN.
Same for the other great horror shows back when they were worth watching.
The Thin Man, William Powell and Myrna Loy - made 6 movies.
