Rocky IV- a montagey music video action film Rocky V - climax is a street fight instead of a boxing match According to Stallone, V does not exist in the Rocky canon any more so I'd say that solidifies it as the odd film out. |

Superman 1 and 2 as they were the only good Superman films, ever.

The Pink Panther films without Peter Sellers.. or that one made to cash in after he died that used outtakes and bad stand ins.
OK Godzilla.. must say the odd one out is the very first one. It's a straight up disaster movie rather then a sci fi fantasy. The only other Godzilla film like it was last years Shin Godzilla...

Highlander 1, by way of being the only one that should have actually happened.
Also by not retconning them into aliens, I guess.

Mad Max is a dialogue-heavy dystopian revenge movie while its sequels are all post-apocalyptic takes on the classical Western "man with no name" motif that favour action set pieces over long dialogue scenes.

Friday the 13th part 5: A new beginning because somebody who is NOT a Vorhees is the killer, they went back to the Jason well for Jason Lives At the very least, Part 5 kept the Tommy Jarvis character going, so it at least has that going for it. JGTH, on the other hand, just completely lost its shit with all the Hellbaby nonsense. Shit, even Jason in space made more sense in the timeline of the series. Think about THAT. |

Yeah, 1 is the only really good movie... but the rest mention things that happen. 2 is completely ignored all together from the stupid oh also they are aliens for reasons... to the dystopian setting... none of that is mentioned or hinted at being setup in any of the later movies. |

For what it's worth, Christopher Lambert considers 2 non-canon. |

The 007 films have a few of these. Casino Royale '67 and Never Say Never Again are officially non-canon. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is an oddball, being Lazenby's only appearance as Bond. The two Timothy Dalton films stick out as well, especially License To Kill, which was so unlike a typical 007 film they could have replaced Dalton's Bond with Jean-Claude Van Damme as Joe Blow and it wouldn't have affected the plot all that much.

Yeah, I think everyone does  Though the worst part is of course that the last Highlander movie was even worse than Highlander 2... with The Source! but that was a cheap direct to scifi network movie. |

Mission: Impossible - spy thriller with a little bit of action.
Mission: Impossible 2-6 - balls-to-the-wall action movies featuring spies.

That was about to remind me about The Fast and The Furious being a mostly racing film in what is now an action series, but Tokyo Drift is even more divorced from the rest of the franchise. |

Army of Darkness? Evil Dead - Gory horror Evil Dead 2 - Gory horror (albeit with some humour) AoD - Full on comedy with very little gore Remake - Back to straight horror Not only that, but AOD is also the only one where 50% or more of the film isn't a variation of the first film's plot. |

Yeah, pretty much. Evil Dead 1, 2 and Remake are more or less the same movie |

Gamera Vs. Barugon - not a single child protagonist in sight
Horror of Frankenstein - The rest of the Hammer Studios Frankenstein series are played straight as gothic chillers; this one is performed as satire, parodying the others

Superman III. A more comedic tone compared to the rest of the franchise, Robert Vaughn as a Lex Luthor knockoff, Lois reduced to basically a cameo role and Superman playing second fiddle to Richard Pryor for the majority of the film.

OHMSS is also the only time that someone not from the UK (England/Scotland) played bond and had it not been for United Artists wanting Sean Connery back in the role, we would have gotten a American playing James Bond in Diamonds are Forever |

That was about to remind me about The Fast and The Furious being a mostly racing film in what is now an action series, but Tokyo Drift is even more divorced from the rest of the franchise. Well, the thing about the Fast & Furious films is that they didn't exactly have racing in the plot, with the exception of Tokyo Drift. Even though the first two are different from the later films, the plots are more or less basic. The first film was a Point Break knock-off with street-racing in place of surfing and rather than bank heists, the criminals pull off heists involving robbing trucks. The second film was more or less a buddy action film that took place in Miami, with the plot being that one of the main characters from the first film having to work with the feds to clear his record, as well as his friend's record. |

Terminator Salvation is the only film in the series to not feature time travel. Heck, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Salvation was basically a post-Apocalyptic war movie while the other four Terminators were straight sci-fi action films. It's the only Terminator movie to not feature Arnold in a significant role. And while John Conner and Kyle Reese both have prominent roles in the movie, the main character is Marcus Wright, someone who was never seen or mentioned in any of the other films. |
