In an interview around the time GFIII was released, he said that Paramount had always regarded GF and II as their gems, and continually pressed him to make III as a "prestige" film.
He also mentioned that, plus said something about sequels, that they are basically the originals, with only a few things changed around. I personally didnt see GFII like that, I thought it was brilliant follow up to GFI, while GFIII being a completely rehash of both I & II.
