Is this a sequel?


There was a film on television last night called "Gladiator Cops".

It was the same sort of deal.
The spirit of long dead warriors fighting with swords.

So, is this the sequel?

A brief exploration reveals that Nick Rotundo wrote and directed both "Gladiator Cops" and "G2" - this is a reasonable explanation of the "G2" title, then, that it is indeed being marketed as a sequel.

The only problem with this is that the subtitle of "Gladiator Cops" is "The Swordsman II" which suggests that it was itself a sequel. Is "G2" therefore "The Swordsman III" or is the property of sequel-ism non-transitive?
