Here's another unnecessary triple.

Strictly speaking, it's not a "stealth" triple

in that I'm using 3 different names.

This movie is a send-up of secondary schools. A new teacher is recruited

to try to teach uninspired teenagers to like education in their

time at a school to train future superheroes. His job is bad enough,

but the school's also taken a Psychiatrist on staff, and he's

acrophobic- a problem when you have to FLY to reach the school!

Actors include Kurt Russell as one of the parents, Mary Winsted as one of

the students, Jon Lovitz as the new teacher, and Mel Brooks as the

Psychiatrist.

Well, the second two-thirds would be "Sky High Anxiety."

No, you named 1 and 3 and skipped 2, the spoof with the new teacher.

That might be the whole title, too,

You definitely left out at least 1 word (technically 2) in the middle.

(Which should tell you what the last word "missing" is.)

since you're hinting at a (semi-)stealth triple.

It is indeed a semi-stealth triple. You'll understand when you have

the entire title.

I don't recognize the first movie; could it be called "Sky"?

George

You recognized 1 and 3 and still have the one in the middle to name.

Stealth triple time, again.

In this tv-movie, a superhero acts as interstellar police.

He's killed- but eventually he is able to convince his sidekicks he can contact

them, and they bring his killer to justice.

He continues as a superhero-but now as a supernatural, spectral vigilante.

(Hey, this would totally work as a story!)

Actually, it sounds a lot like what happened to Green Lantern (Hal Jordan):

He was an interstellar cop.

He was killed (as Parallax, by Green Arrow), but came back, appearing to Ollie Queen and others.

After saving the world from the Sun-Eater (and dying again), he came back as the Spectre.

(Now, he's back to being Green Lantern.)
