speakquel 

A "talkie" film dat presents da further adventures of one or more characters originally presented in a silent film sometime earlier.

sneakquel 

A "further adventures of" production dat is quietly/surreptitiously released instead of being openly advertised/hyped, possibly because of said film's boring nature, unpopular political views, copyright issues, etc.

Creating a sneakquel to a well-known Hollywood masterpiece might indeed keep you out of legal trouble, save you from public ridicule/outrage, and so on, but it might also take a while for said celluloid-based work to become known to da general viewing-audience.

Often a studio's attempt to continue da storyline of a cinematic hit has a mediocre reception at da box-office, but once in a while they manage to churn out a real sleekquel.

crime of the sentry 

Da fox guarding da henhouse (duh), pulling off da perfect heist unrivaled by any crime in da past hundred years.

Maybe it is indeed true dat "da butler did it", but in order to pull off said "crime of the sentry", said suave ironed-coat-and-starched-tails lackey would have needed help from da front-gate watchman, as well.
