   @ekaitz_zarraga que chistoso... y qué vergüenza !!!Me acuerdo también de “Fool’s Gold” -> “Como locos... A por El Oro”. Película de mierda, ni siquiera creo que la vi, pero me acuerdo del título ridículo.

     One of the funniest recurring joke in our home is to make up English-to-French movie names.Because the French are renowned for not just translating a name from English to French, but for giving a new name that is just super lame – and sometimes not even in French! (I'm sure it happens in all language-to-language directions, but anyway).Our best real example of it is for the movie "Step up". In France, it's called...

     "Sexy dance".

     @ekaitz_zarraga @stragu My favourite is "Shawn of the dead", translated in Spain as...

     ...

     ...

     "Zombies party"

     Which is (1) not the original title, (2) English, and (3) not proper grammar.

     A friend told me to watch this hilarious film, told me the title, I said I had never heard of it... and after a while I realized it was SotD 😬
