It’s a proven fact that a mainstream movie that succeeds almost routinely spawns sequels these days. This has been the case in recent years with many heroes of the Marvel universe (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America…), or even the contract killer John Wick, without forgetting many animated films (Toy Story, Cars, Incredibles, etc.).
If we have to go back to the 60s to see the beginning of this cinematic phenomenon with the Planet of the Apes film series, the 80s in particular blessed the appearance of the franchise with the theatrical release of several trilogies that would become iconic. .
First of all, we can mention the famous archaeologist adventurer Indiana Jones, who entered the dark rooms in 1981 with Harrison Ford in the lead role and Steven Spielberg. After the success of the film, the public will find the hero in India three years later in “Temple of Doom” and in 1989 in “The Last Crusade”, in which Indy will have to solve many puzzles with the help of his father. We look forward to the fifth installment scheduled for June 30.
We find Steven Spielberg behind another important trilogy of the 80s as a producer this time: Back to the Future. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, this fantasy saga takes its characters to America in the 1950s in the first part, then to the future of 2015, before returning to the past of the 19th century Far West in the final episode.
To this list we can add the films of the Mad Max series, Lethal Weapon, Piège de Cristal and many others. What a quiz dedicated to these many franchises that have marked the history of cinema for sixty years. Can you tell me which episodes these pictures are from?
