Movie Sequels & Roman Numerals

Movie Sequels & Roman Numerals

Many movies use roman numerals in their titles. Perhaps the most famous are the VI Star Wars films.

Other films that use roman numerals are the V Rocky movies, the III Back to the Future adventures and The Land Before Time currently is up to number XIV in the series.

Interestingly, some movies have so many sequels that roman numerals are not used. e.g. The latest James Bond movie is number XXII in the franchise and apparently there have been XCII Godzilla films made.

Why do you think some movies use roman numerals to number sequels and some don't?
