OMG!   

I wonder if there are any more, could we have missed any?

OK, next time we encounter any trolls trolling Avatar2 for taking so long, just copy and paste that list.

[Toliman]

I wonder if there are any more, could we have missed any?

I wonder about it too... several times I thought that we already discovered all but then I found another

OK, next time we encounter any trolls trolling Avatar2 for taking so long, just copy and paste that list.

Yeah!

[Toliman]

I think that I have another catch... added on list

The Godfather Part II (1974) - The Godfather Part III (1990)... 16 years

[Toliman]

And found next one:

The Best Man (1999) - The Best Man Holiday (2013)... 14 years

So now it's already 35 movies

[Toliman]

I think I found 36th

Ghostbusters II (1989) - Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)... 32 years

[archaic]

Hmm, there was the 2016 Ghostbusters but that was a reboot, not a sequel, so yeah.

Also, the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot really sucked, IMHO.

[Toliman]

Hmm, there was the 2016 Ghostbusters but that was a reboot, not a sequel, so yeah.

Also, the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot really sucked, IMHO.

Yeah, I agree
2016 Ghostbusters I don't consider, it was not sequel.

[Toliman]

Found next one

Super Troopers (2001) - Super Troopers 2 (2018)... 17 years

[archaic]

Wow, they past me by entirely, good catch!

[Toliman]

Yeah, I am still surprised what all we didn't found yet.

[archaic]

Reboots don't count.
The Fast and the Furious 1954 is very definitely not related to The Fast and the Furious 2001, for example.

[Toliman]

Yeah, I count only sequels, not reboots

[Toliman]

I thing that I have next catch:

Trainspotting (1996) - T2 Trainspotting (2017)... 21 years

[Toliman]

Also this:

Rocky V (1990) - Rocky Balboa (2006)... 16 years

[Toliman]

And today found these two:

Basic Instinct (1992) - Basic Instinct 2 (2006)... 14 years

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) - My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)... 14 years

So now we already found 41 movies
