jackTop Ten Most Amusing Sequel Titles1:
1. "Alien", "Aliens"
2. "Ocean's 11", "Ocean's 12", "Ocean's 13"2
3. "Cube", "Hypercube"
4. "Band of Gold", "Gold"3
5. "The Matrix", "The Third Rank Tensor", "The Fourth Rank Tensor"
6. "XXX", "XXXX"
7. "X-Men", "XX-Women"
8. "You wait ages for one, then three Godots turn up at once!"
9. "Dude, Where's My Car?" "Seriously, Dude, Where's My Car?"
10. "The Madness of King George III"5
[1] Some were really used and some not. Can you guess which?
[2] Actually, this just seems dull, I don't know why
[3] Is that the only overlapping but shorter sequel title ever? The first was TV drama about several prostitutes; the second was when one of them made rich.
[4] I left about Naked Gun 3.3 as that's supposed to be silly.
[5] OK, they never made the madnesses of king george the i and ii. But I wanted to include it :)
[6] Which have I missed out?
ETA: I suppose "Day of the Triffids" and "Night of the Triffids" should be somewhere, mainly because they just annoy me by the sequel being disappointing, but now me being unable to remember which came first. After all, which does come first, night or day (please, no answers).

FWIW, You only live once actually is a film. Perhaps. "You only live thrice" or "You only live n-1 times"? :)
