What about Brian Tyler? Even if The two sequels to Expendables does not count he still did several other sequels:

Fast & The Furious 3-5 & 7-9
Final Destination 4 & 5
The last two Rambo movies
Avengers: Age of Ultron
AVP:Requiem
Iron Man 3
XXX 3
Thor: Dark World

and that`s it I do not think I missed anyone

He’s scored some TV miniseries (Children of Dune) and game (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Far Cry 3, Assassin’s Creed IV...) sequels but I think you did name all the films and quite a list it is!

I thought about adding RETURN TO THE RIVER KWAI too, but I think that falls short of being an actual sequel.

That made me think of ZULU DAWN, perhaps more of an actual (semi-)sequel, which leads me to Elmer Bernstein who in addition to that has THE TRIAL OF BILLY JACK and BILLY JACK GOES TO WASHINGTON, the third and fourth films in the five-film Billy Jack series.

Would be nice to get those two Bernstein scores on CD. I think only one of his even made it to LP, although there were soundtrack albums for the first two films in the series, THE BORN LOSERS and BILLY JACK, which had different composers:

http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/22303/Billy+Jack

http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/23595/Trial+Of+Billy+Jack%2C+The

The cue that begins at 7:03 of this suite someone put on YouTube is pretty great, classic Bernstein. It deserves to be premiered on CD and expanded if possible:


No release for this one, alas: http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/25020/Billy+Jack+Goes+to+Washington

Can anyone who's seen the film say anything about Elmer's score?

You guys nailed my 2 biggest ones (Schifrin and Rosenman), and even improved on my Schifrin with the "Trouble with Angels" sequel (RETURN TO RIVER KWAI is listed in Imdb as a non-sequel).

And you've outclassed me with all the middle-schooler-super-hero-bubble-gum-animation-fantasy stuff.

BUT YOU'VE WAY-TOTALLY MISSED ONE THAT IS SUPER COOL. YOU'RE GOING TO KICK YOURSELF WHEN YOU HEAR IT!

Don't know what the gonna-kick-yourself title is, but I just realised we can add another Schifrin-scored sequel: MURDERERS ROW, the 2nd Matt Helm film.

Halloween?

Howarth had his hand in more sequels (II-VI) than Carpenter's original, even if some were technically collab's.

Bates has two, himself.. if we're counting the reboots?

Cool topic!

David Arnold got in five Bond movies, outpacing Thomas Newman by a whole 3 Bonds. Other than Barry they're the only folks to have done more than one (though I fear that Zimmer has the series locked up forever now).
Alexandre Desplat notched two Harry Potter sequels.
Michael Giacchino has, with his three Star Trek films, more under his belt than anybody but Goldsmith.
Henry Jackman has a full 2/3 of the Jumanji 'franchise' buttoned up, though obviously Horner was not available in 2017 in any case. He also has Captain America 2, Captain America 3, and the upcoming Falcon/Winter Soldier TV series over Alan Silvestri.

And of course I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Alf Clausen–not a movie guy but still, taking over after Richard Gibbs in season 1 and the revolving composer door in season 2, he wrote 578 Simpsons episodes 1990-2017 before being muscled out by Zimmer.

David Arnold also has 2 Fast 2 Furious, and The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (could you get two more different franchises than that, haha?)

I've got another Golden Ager: Miklos Rozsa scored at least two sequels that I'm aware of... The first is The Miniver Story (sequel to Mrs. Miniver, scored eight years earlier by Herbert Stothart, whose themes Rozsa adapted in parts of his own score just as Waxman did with Newman's The Robe themes for Demetrius and the Gladiators):
https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/notes/miniver_story.html

And the other one is of course The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Still considered a sequel to The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (scored by Bernard Herrmann), even though they recast Sinbad, right? They Harryhausen Sinbad films always seem to go together...

I bow to thy superior nerdness! smile

But I might steal the crown back if no one figures out the composer I'm thinking of, that will make you smack your forehead!

OMIGOSH! Is it Jerry Goldsmith???

I had not realized Along Came a Spider was a sequel to Kiss the Girls (I knew Morgan Freeman was in both; just had no idea he was playing the same character) until the latest Varese announcement:
https://www.varesesarabande.com/products/jerry-goldsmith-along-came-a-spider-music-from-the-motion-picture-cd

Add that to The Sum of All Fears and U.S. Marshals and Psycho II and the tally is FOUR! Fierce Creatures wasn't an actual sequel to A Fish Called Wanda nor was S*P*Y*S a sequel to M*A*S*H (just follow-ups)...but does Looney Tunes: Back in Action count as a sequel to anything? Does Supergirl count as as sequel to Donner's Superman since it takes place in the same universe?

If we are talking remakes Goldsmith would also have a decent number... off the top of my head Stagecoach, The Red Pony, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Vanishing, The Haunting, Hollow Man, and Anna and the King (if you count TV series)....

Guessing game aside, this is an interesting subject.

Zimmer did Hannibal, MI2, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Dark Phoenix, Wonder Woman 1984, Top Gun: Maverick, the new James Bond (No Time to Die), Pirates of the Caribbean 2-4 (which admittedly you may not count depending how much credit you give him for the first score) and was also a co-composer on Blade Runner 2049.

Even if you don't count his 3 Jurassic Park sequel scores, his 3 Star Trek scores or his 3 Spider-Man scores, Giacchino did Cars 2, MI3-4 (as Rick15 said), and 2 Planet of the Apes sequels.

Elfman did Hellboy 2, Terminator: Salvation, the theatrical cut of Justice League, the replacement score for Avengers: Age of Ultron and he's signed to do Doctor Strange 2.

Beltrami did The Wolverine, Logan, The Crow: Salvation, Halloween: 20 Years Later, Blade 2, Terminator 3, Underworld 2 and the new Venom sequel.

Debney did Iron Man 2, Predators, The Mummy 3, Ice Age 5, White Fang 2, Princess Diaries 2, and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

Henry Jackman's done Captain America 2-3 and also the Disney+ follow up, Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Powell's done 3 Ice Age sequels (as Yavar pointed out), plus X-Men 3.

Horner did Star Trek 2-3, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger.

You can add to the list : xXx²: The Next Level (I'd love to see this one get a release), Live Free or Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard and Scary Movie 2 (along with a dozen other composers) ;-)

Henry Jackman's done Captain America 2-3 and also the Disney+ follow up, Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

And also G.I.Joe: Retaliation and The Predator smile

AS ALWAYS WITH MY QUIZZES...

if you know the answer, DON'T TYPE IT. Give another clue.

Okay you knuckleheads, keep in mind, I kinda suck at giving clues.....


Of the 3 sequels he* did, 2 of them were controversial. Both were sequels to blockbuster blockbusters. "Why are they making a sequel to that?" could well have been heard back in the day of either release.

#1 tanked badly, critically and financially.

#2 probably didn't do nearly as well as its prequel, but I'm guessing didn't get sneered at nearly as much as #1. (I didn't see #2 until long after, so I don't recall it's reception or performance.)

#1 has awesome music. It is this composer's STAR WARS, to my mind**.
#2 I don't recall being awesome.

*Bonus clue: he's a man! smile

**A score of opulent and/or operatic proportions.
