The Opening Trope: 20 Sequels That Begin Just Where the Previous Movie Left Off

When it comes to trilogy takes place in, what? Like a few days? Three at least, if we just go by Marty waking up to weird mom-induced boners, but probably more. No, we’re not Googling it, come on. We love the series but it’s not like we’re obsessed with this mov– okay, whatever, three weeks, the entire trilogy happens during three weeks.

The point is: you get our point. Narrative continuity is a given, just as thematic continuity is too — if you’re not Back to the Future for us being followed by that joke about mom-induced boners, we really appreciate it. Unless you never noticed it, in which case, erm, sequels!
