10 Best Legacy Movie Sequels Ever

Whilst George Miller's virtuoso action epic is technically a reboot rather than a legacy sequel, it's hard not to watch Mad Max: Fury Road without being struck by its unique story and the homage it plays to previous films in the franchise.

Filmed with fantastic practical effects by an unrivalled stunt team, endless action sequences, and gorgeous cinematography, Fury Road follows antihero Max Rockatansky as he comes up against a violent cult and engages them in a seemingly limitless road battle.

Aided in its action by the gritty performances of Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, the action epic never pauses to take a breath, building on the iconography of Mad Max and the desolate world he's trapped in, whilst adding more depth and compelling depth to his struggles than any film before.

Fury Road is effortlessly the best Mad Max movie ever made, and it would be the best legacy sequel on this list were it not for one other film...
