	I donn't think the franchise from 1988-1994 ever made a fourth film.

	rebelprince185:	Jul 8th, 2011 at 03:11 GMT		1 point
	My bad, kwelly. I was reading about a proposed 4th film and it must have stuck. I'll edit that right out, thanks.

	The 1977-2002 franchise with 6 films should read 1977-2005.

	J_to_the_eph:	Jul 8th, 2011 at 05:35 GMT		1 point
	the 1984-2010 one should read 5 films if you are counting the last one as part of the series and not a reboot.

	KMW: I actually debated for a while about whether I should include the most recent film, since I wasn't sure it was actually recognized by fans of the series. I've put it in now, so hopefully that will be okay. J to the eph: Good call. Fixed that as well. Thanks to you both!

	I know its not your list but where is the Dirty Harry franchise?

	AlexRandom:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 01:43 GMT		1 point
	Very nice quiz. I am not sure why all the 6 most recent Batman films are part of the same franchise, and the older Adam West film is not.

	Thanks, Alex. I went ahead and edited the quiz to include every Batman film that was released theatrically. I didn't do that originally because I was worried that the box-office and critics info collected by the Atlantic reflected these "fringe" movies (the same case for The Clone Wars.) In the end, for the quiz takers' sake, I guess it's better just to make sure each whole franchise is shown. Cheers!

	Rebelprince185: 2005 was Revenge of the Sith, which is universally recognized as part of the franchise. I assume you're referring to The Clone Wars, which was 2008. So, if you include that one, it would be 1977-2008/7 films. Great quiz, by the way!
