- The trilogy may be the best franchise from a PR standpoint: three successful movies, none bad, each adding something, and no fourth.
- John Wick will tail off with more sequels and spinoffs; Fast and Furious and Star Wars have weak entries; Mission Impossible is getting better, though 2 is rough.
- Rocky would qualify if it ended after four; Peter Jackson could have stopped after Lord of the Rings instead of making three dull Hobbit films.
- The take is compared to Jim Brown retiring at the top; Goldmember is the least funny of the three and The Love Guru goes too far.
- A take that the Jaws films qualify fails on Jaws 3D; Jaws 2 is proposed for a summer episode.
