Funny Translations: Movie Titles

Oh I see a mini series coming out of funny translations, but I'm going to start with movie titles. I don't know if it's someone using google translate, or just thinking they're apt at Japanese, but movie titles can get seriously twisted when sent to other countries from the US. Of course some titles are changed when they contain an American reference that wouldn't make sense in another country (Harold and Kumar go to White Castle was changed to Harold and Kumar get the Munchies in London, since they don't have White Castles...then again, does the US?!), or if a country might find our US title offensive. Either way...check out these title changes.

• Knocked Up - Slightly Pregnant, Peru (slightly...are you kidding)
• Grease - Vaseline, Argentina (I attribute this one to google translate)
• The Full Monty - Six Naked Pigs, China (accurate though wrong)
• American Pie - American Virgin Man, Hong Kong (ha!)
• Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - It's Raining Falafel, Israel (no meatballs for them)
• Die Hard with a Vengeance - Die Hard: Mega Hard, Denmark (don't just die...DIE!)
• Airplane! - The Unbelievable Trip in a Wacky Aeroplane, Germany (not going for simplicity)
• The Sixth Sense - He's a Ghost!, China (way to ruin it! you didn't even say spoiler alert)
• Home Alone - Mom, I Missed the Plane, France (well...yeah)
• The Parent Trap - A Twin Seldom Comes Alone, Germany (again...well, yeah)
• The Waterboy - Dimwit Surges Forth, Thailand (no football in Thailand?)
• Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - Austin Powers: The Spy Who Behaved Very Nicely Around Me, Malaysia (why even release the movie...seriously)
• Meet the Parents: Little Fockers - Zany Son-in-Law, Zippy Grandkids, Sour Father-in_Law (the Thais are so specific)
• Due Date - Odd Couple, Wacky Trip, Go Together in Time for Birth, Thailand (see!)
• The Cat in the Hat - Cat, Don't Touch His Hat!, Croatia (I think they missed the point)
• Babe - The Happy Dumpling-to-Be Who Talks and Solves Agricultural Problems, Hong Kong (I know, you were thinking Thailand)
• Field of Dreams - Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield, Hong Kong (again, with the spoilers)
• The Pacifier - A Super Kangaroo, Spain (I got nothin')
• The Long Kiss Goodnight - Bloody Christmas (rather apt really)
• Pretty Woman - I Will Marry a Prostitute and Save Money, China (I would think that would actually cost a lot)
• The Matrix - The Young People Who Traverse Dimensions While Wearing Sunglasses, France (that's about all I thought of that movie too)
• Weekend at Bernie's - The Dead Body is Very Live, Spain (that is the general plot)
• Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - The Boy That Drowned in Chocolate Sauce, Denmark (way to hone in one a minute and half of a two hour movie)
• As Good as it Gets - Mr. Cat Poop (I don't even know...)

Well there ya go, that little list should have at least made you laugh.
