10 Famous Movies That Had Unofficial Sequels in Other Countries

Whenever a movie has a modicum of success, the conversation around a sequel immediately starts up. If a studio believes there is more money to be made off the inherent familiarity that comes with a sequel, then they will often focus on making them, even at the expense of potentially trying original projects.
There is, however, an even more egregious reliance on a successful film. While lots of movies have ripped off whatever was popular at the time, these movies went one step further, and legitimately tried to claim kinship with whatever film was popular or successful. Here are 10 movies that literally claimed to be sequels to movies they weren't connected to in foreign markets.
