Your own blockbuster franchise titles

[Default to the negative]

You don't need to pitch the entire story. You should mostly focus on coming up with punchy titles that pitch these stories all by themselves. When people — especially Chinese people — see these titles, they'll know exactly what kind of adrenaline-fuelled fisticuffs they're gonna get.

My franchise is about an undercover agent who always has to go to extreme measures to avoid blowing his cover.

Yes I thought so. But can we at least keep things within the margins of plausible double entendre, Eddie?

My own contribution was not needlessly smutty. It had real-life inspirations:

Great job with the theoretical titles, by the way.  They're spot on to how studios name their franchises.  I particularly like the reboot title; movies which either add or subtract the word 'The' to an existing title, can get in grave.

Thanks! Long-running horror movie franchises get really confusing with their titles, by the end of this year the Halloween series will have 3 distinct movies called Halloween and one of those isn't even a remake.
