What is the longest gap between a film and its sequel?

 * I don't know for sure, but there was a 35-year gap between Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). So any gap less than 35 years isn't going to be the answer. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:10, 21 May 2020 (UTC)


 * How about Bambi (1942) and Bambi II (2006)? [58 years] ( o ops  ) 107.15.157.44 (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That is actually 64 years. RudolfRed (talk) 22:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * How are you defining sequel? Does the gap between Return_of_the_Jedi (episode 6) and Star_Wars:_The_Force_Awakens (episode 7) count?  I see it is less than the two examples already given, but it would good to understand what you are asking.  RudolfRed (talk) 20:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I would not count that, since they released that after three pre‐sequels. —(((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 04:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing you mean between the first film and it's first sequel? So a long running series (such as the James Bond films) wouldn't count. --Khajidha (talk) 01:19, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes. —(((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 04:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Passage de Venus (1874) was a great action flick (predictable plot, however). When will Passage de Mars come out? 2606:A000:1126:28D:A014:BEEF:E9A9:17B2 (talk) 07:09, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Would Passage to Mars (2016) count? [142 years]. 2606:A000:1126:28D:A014:BEEF:E9A9:17B2 (talk) 07:34, 22 May 2020 (UTC) (anybody else here having too much time on their hands?)
