When a movie becomes a huge success and a cultural landmark, there’s always pressure for the sequel to live up to that same standard and honor its impact.

These films usually pay homage to their predecessors by bringing back iconic characters and introducing new ones to carry on the story or franchise. It doesn’t always work, but it’s movie magic when it does.
