It's a neologism coined by the marketing team behind the Alien Quadrilogy DVD Boxset. I suppose "quad" is more recognizable to the general populace than "tetra."

So if quadrilogy isn't a real word, what would the proper term (for a four-film or four-anything series) be?
I love them all. They are fun adventure movies with intentional over-the-top action sequences and an interesting story to go along with. Also, Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones is awesome. You can tell he loves that character and, as a viewer, makes me love the movies even more.
Exactly.dittoIndiana Jones. 'Nuff said.
Plus the films are the perfect homage to the wonderful serials from those thrilling days of yesteryear.
That bit where there's a sword fighting guy doing all these fancy moves and then Indy just takes out a gun and shoots the guy (reportedly because Harrison Ford had a bad case of the trots when they were shooting the scene - linky).
Back around 1978 or 1979 or so, there was a short-lived TV series called Cliffhangers which had three serials inclusive in a one-hour format. There was a "Dracula" series, a Western and a third that I can't remember off the top of my head. It was kind of fun, but really didn't catch on. I'd love to see a Cable Network try something like that again.Exactly.ditto

Exactly. I wish a studio would have the guts to produce hour long theatrical serials again... Two or three hour to hour and a half long serials a year. That would be great.
Closest thing in my life to such a thing was the "era of miniseries" from the 80's. Shogun, North & South, ect.
That's why I hate it. But I can see it becoming a word like ginormous, which I also hate.I don't even think that is a word.
Oh, that's a perfectly cromulent word.
I like ginormous. It's a good, honest silly word that was not pitched at some marketing meeting. I use it sometimes. But not often.That's why I hate it. But I can see it becoming a word like ginormous, which I also hate.I don't even think that is a word.I hate that word.
If "tetralogy" is too confusing, maybe we should put more money in education.Also, shouldn't this be tetralogy? Or if that's too confusing, go back to Quadrilogy, or just use 'Indiana Jones Movies' or the... you get the idea.
