Blood and Ice Cream Collection
posted by alanjames1987STAFFMOD on December 30, 2012 at 1:33 AM
Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End are not squeals but are recognized by the film makers and the studio as a trilogy called "Three Flavours Cornetto" trilogy or "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy.
I have read over a collection's requirements and I am unclear on this one. Should this be a collection?
Here is a link to Wikipedia about this trilogy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Flavours_Cornetto_trilogy

Our (TMDb) use of the word collection can be misleading because for many it is intuitive that this must include any group of related films, be it sequels or an abstract relation such as the link between Three Flavours Cornetto. However, the guidelines are generally simple: the films should be sequels. There are some exceptions, but they do not seem to apply in this case. This means just because a group of films may be considered a trilogy, it does not necessarily follow that they meet the requirements of collection.
Enter lists. I created a Three Flavours Cornetto list when lists were introduced.
