The Thing, the 2002 video game sequel to the movie of the same name, is more aptly named in Japan as Yuusei Kara no Buutai X: Episode II to clarify the fact that it actually is a sequel, not a game adaptation of the movie itself. Yuusei Kara no Buutai X being the name of the movie in Japan, of course.
For proof, here's the movie poster:
