Well you've named two already, obviously. Whether they were planned is irrelevant. You're just dismissing them arbitrarily because they're obvious exceptions to your rule. And anyway, Back to the Future III was no more pre-planned than Iron Man III. At least Lord of the Rings was all written ahead of time and all three movies were filmed in one go. How is Back to the Future a legitimate exception?

Beyond that there's Jason Bourne films, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Star Wars, X-Men (3 sucked, but X-Men: First Class is good), Batman, Harry Potter (actually got better with each movie), Many 007 films, Night of the Living Dead, Trois Couleurs, Evil Dead, Toy Story . . .

Back to the Future III was filmed at the same time as Back to the Future II. There was actually buzz about them doing that at the time (as in, what a great/new/refreshing idea that was).

Interesting. I didn't know that. I was too young at the time (I'm 34 now) to be exposed to that sort of buzz. Anyway, as The Matrix proves, filming back-to-back won't save a sequel :)

Just about on the line there.  IIRC they were both mostly filmed in 1988-1989.

Matrix 2 & 3 suffer the same problem as EP1. Trying to cash in on a horny cash cow and completely losing sight of what made the fans so rabid in the first place. Didn't the brothers say they were trying to emulate Lucas' success of 4,5 & 6 or some such nonsense?
