Every other movie is a remake, a reboot, or a sequel. So it’s surprising that there are 10 successful franchises that Hollywood hasn’t even touched in over 20 years.
Here they are:
1. “Dirty Harry” (1971 – 1988)
2. “Police Academy” (1984 – 1994)
3. “Airport” (1970 – 1979)
4. “Lethal Weapon” (1987 – 1998)
5. “Billy Jack” (1967 – 1977)
6. “Crocodile Dundee” (1986 – 2001)
7. “Smokey and the Bandit” (1977 – 1983)
8. “The Godfather” (1972 – 1990)
9. “Back to the Future” (1985 – 1990)
10. “Jaws” (1975 – 1987)
For the record, Mel Gibson has been trying to get “Lethal Weapon 5” off the ground for years, but the more time that goes by, the less likely it seems.
