10 More Movie Sequels You Have No Idea Were Just Released

5. Detective Knight: Independence

To be completely fair, you might not even know that Detective Knight is a franchise at all, let alone a trilogy.

The Bruce Willis-starring action film series began with last October's Detective Knight: Rogue, with Willis playing the titular cop, and a mere two months later, the Christmas-themed follow-up Detective Knight: Redemption also hit streaming platforms.

And in January, the third and final film, Detective Knight: Independence, was released, serving as Willis' penultimate movie role due to his career-ending diagnosis with aphasia.

Despite the relatively tawdry quality of Willis' late-career era of VOD action flicks, the Detective Knight movies were at least received with broader positivity by critics, who noted the higher production values compared to most of Willis' recent films, and also the many homages to Willis' career as an action star.

All the same, beyond die-hard (sorry) Willis completionists committed to seeing every last one of his movies, few even knew this threequel was out, and even if you did stumble across it on a streaming platform, you probably assumed it was a standalone romp.
