I saw the second Indiana Jones-movie before the first one
I saw Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection before Alien
Terminator 2 before Terminator
Agreed. And I also saw T2 way before I saw the first one.The major ones I can think of are Aliens before Alien and Terminator 2 before Terminator. It was kind of lackluster seeing Alien and T1 after their sequels. Don't get me wrong, they're still great movies, but the sequels were just so kick ass and really went above and beyond what was done in the originals. It's like going from an Xbox back to an SNES.
Am I the only ones who've seen the Terminator movies in order?
Does Star Wars Episode 1 Phantom Menace count? I still haven't gotten around to watching the original 3, bought the DVD set, but haven't watched it yet.
That doesn't mean anything. Even if the studio went ahead and changed character names, it still would have been based on Silence of the Lambs, which is a book sequel to Red Dragon which was first made as Manhunter. Same actors playing different roles and slight changes of character name spellings does not change the actual story.
Silence is a sequel to Manhunter because the books are sequels. The Hannibal trilogy which includes Manhunter or Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal.
Yes Red Dragon is the official Hopkin's trilogy, but Manhunter certainly has it's place in the Hannibal movie world.
