You can be wrong but still hold a valid point broadly.

If you say "franchises" instead of movies and limit it to movies where the woman is the STAR and not part of a duo (Terminator and Terminator 2) and goes for 3 or more movies the only other example I can think of off the top of my head is Alien.

Theres a lot of female starred standalone movies, and a decent number of duos, sometimes with sequels. But once you start looking beyond that it gets REALLY skinny really fast.

We try to forget those movies exist at all.

You can't deny the first one was great.

The first one was great, the third one was good. The 6th one was funny-bad and the final one was OK.

The first one was good, they descend quite quickly though.

True, I knew there would be other exceptions I just couldnt think of any off the top of my head.
