    Default Hilarious alternate movie titles.

    When another country shows a movie sometimes they have to change the title either because it doesn't translate or the company is just idiotic, i'll start.

    WE have the same problem in Greece
    Quem faz injúria vil e sem razão,Com forças e poder em que está posto,Não vence; que a vitória verdadeira É saber ter justiça nua e inteira-He who, solely to oppress,Employs or martial force, or power, achieves No victory; but a true victory Is gained,when justice triumphs and prevails.

    We hungarians have certain phrases to use as titles. Especially if they rhyme.

    For example there was a film with a title like Red Hill or some mountain in it, it was named: My pair is my stair (it rhymes)

    Another fav. was ever: Being in trouble up the ankle.

    Basically applies to every foreign title.

    Sorry Armenia, for the rascals who lead us.

    Somehow, the titles of bad comedy movies are always changed to "Help, we're going to X", or "help, I'm an X" etc. In Norway.

    I have to idea why.

    "help, I'm an X"

    Sounds like a Rob Schneider movie.

    My pair is my stair
    Come on, that's an AWESOME title (I hope it was a war movie about taking a hill, there are several about vietnam here in the USA that could use that title)
