* If there is a more iconic example than the Hammer/Universal series, it would have to be ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes''. They started with ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'', followed by ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheApes'', ''Film/EscapeFromThePlanetOfTheApes'', ''Film/ConquestOfThePlanetOfTheApes'', and finally ''Film/BattleForThePlanetOfTheApes''. Then there was a more or less standalone [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes2001 remake under the original title]], followed by a reboot/prequel(?) series which are, in order, ''Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes'', ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes'', and ''Film/WarForThePlanetOfTheApes''.
