The Super Mario movie is secretly a prequel! Yes, to the Super Mario Bros Super Show, but also to Captain N and the Legend of Zelda cartoons! We see Mario playing the game Kid Icarus on NES. We later see Pit cameo in the audience of the Mario vs DK fight. Pit Kid Icarus was a character on Captain N, and his appearance implies Mario is in Videoland. All of these series are connected!

Ben Affleck is the BOMB as Jack Ryan! He played Jack in Sum Of All Fears as a prequel. It bombed mainly because it was released so soon after 9/11. When Silence Of The Lambs came out I wasn't as impressed with Sir Anthony Hopkins because I saw Manhunter on video after it bombed in theaters. I saw it on basic cable wondering why it wasn't a hit. Brian Cox was an awesome Lector.

There was nothing at all secret about The Jewel Of The Nile being a sequel to Romancing The Stone. It was widely talked about and the major production issues got a lot of press. Plus audiences were in love with Kathleen Turner at that point. The film even had a music video by Billy Ocean that got played every 20 minutes on MTV.

Way way back in the day, I did overnight/weekend studies a medical research facility (I won't cite the name, and the rumor going around was that Robert Rodriquez made most of the money to finance El Mariachi by doing studies at this facility. Popular enough that the sequels got big Hollywood budgets!

(Non-canon theory) Branching secret sequels. The Matrix to The Rocky Horror Picture Show or Mortal Kombat (1995) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show or Possibly even. Dune (1984 version only) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. (reminder. this is only a non-canon theory)

There are another secret sequels that watchmojo didn't include which is The Thing (1982) is a secret sequel to the 2011 film. Although they have the same film name but the 2011 film is not a remake as if we connect the story of the two films, it interconnect.

You think a lot of people would know these movies with the internet. But I will honest, I did not know My Summer Story was a sequel to a Christmas Story, only because they also made A Christmas Story 2 and A Christmas Story Christmas later on.

If you read the story for star trek online they mentioned the destruction of Romulus this is the cause of the Narada and spocks ship traveling back in time its also referenced in Picard so the new star trek movies could be considered a spin off

There was an animated sequel between pitch black and chronicles of riddick, making it a trilogy. I used to have it in a DVD disc set
Edit: it was a short film called The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. Still starred vin diesel as well

All Shaft movies are seth in the same continuity.
In the 2000 version is said that Samuel L. Jackson is Richard Roundtree's nephew, but in the 2018 one is changed to be actually his son so the 3 Shafts are in a direct bloodline.

My Blue Heaven is the biggest indirect sequel of anything you put in this top 20 list! But you didn't include it. Why is that My Blue Heaven is an indirect sequel to Goodfellas. Don't believe me. then look it up!

The fact that The Devil's Rejects was a sequel to House of 1000 Corpses was never a secret. It's literally set directly after the events in House of 1000 Corpses.

Honorable Mention:
2010: The year we make contact
I think people tend to forget about this one and that it's a sequel to 2001: A space odyssey.

If we are talking about Harvey Keitel, he did a movie called Smoke and then another movie, Blue in the Face, where he played the same character.
