AstroWhale posted:Let me tell you about the movie "God forgives..I don't" with Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer.Its violent and not funny at all.But the stars were known as funny guys in germany.So they just recut and redub the movie and call it "Zwei vom Affen gebissen" (engl. : Two guys bitten by monkeys) The Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies all got the same treatment in dutch for pretty much the same reason: "de vier vuisten" (the four fists) and then some "funny" subtitle.

Question about the Bloeugrancy - is it pronounced with a soft g or a hard g? I need to know for when I order my ticket.

Regarding foreign titles, two of the better ones I saw in a French video store were "Hamburger Film Sandwich" (Kentucky Fried Movie) and "Cheeseburger Film Sandwich" (Amazon Women on the Moon). And in Italy, Silent Running was "2002: Second Odyssey", while an obscure comedy called Martians Go Home was released as "Spaceballs 2". I love Italian copyright law.

Hedenius posted:There was a similar bizarre thing going on with Goldie Hawn. She played the lead in The Girl from Petrovka which was translated to swedish as Tjejen från Petrovka (literally: the girl from Petrovka). Foul Play was then translated to Tjejen som visste för mycket (the girl who knew too much). Pretty much all of Hawn's film during the 70's and 80's then followed this pattern. The girl who... Is it possible that "The Girl Who Played with Fire" et. al. was an attempt to piggyback on this? Edit: VVV OK, so it just worked in reverse for some reason. Interesting!

Even though the second film retained its original title in English, I seriously doubt that they're piggybacking on the Goldie Hawn films.

Sorry to bring these incredibly old posts from... yesterday back up, butPhysical posted:^^^ Hah what?! Die Hard doesn't translate to German better than to die slowly? Because Die Slowly sounds like he is a cancer patient and will inevitably die. Die Hard implies that there is a good chance that he won't. Trump posted:When I was a wee lad checking out the cinema listings, I always asked my mother what the titles meant. When I asked what Die Hard meant, she translated it as Die Heart.

lessthankyle posted:It's really not that weird considering how many people just on this thread didn't know what they were. If you're nit picking over "they look nothing like" then sure, it's a little hyperbolic, but it's a generic enough design that it could be any number of things. Any number of small changes would have made them immediately apparent to be coffee cups. It's nice that you saw it, but a bunch of people didn't.

Young Freud posted:In the 25th century, the corporate cartel, the Bloeugrancey, have taken over France, then the world, and are now working on the solar system. They're are pockets still on Earth that exist outside the Bloeugrancey, where a reactionary trend to all the glowing cyberpunk poo poo is aping an idealized, '30s, film noir lifestyle. In New Orleans, a returning French Foreign Legion vet has to work with the Resistance to prevent Cajun mob lords from selling out to the Bloeugrancey. Meanwhile, The MANATCA are hatching a plot to reclaim their syndicate's former place in the organized crime hierarchy.

It's at least a thousand times better than that. By association it drags the others down. Also, is that the film where someone said Tom Hardy and Shia LeBeouf had a fight and Hardy was sucker punched?

Vagabundo posted:Beef claimed he got into a scuffle with Hardy and that afterwards, Hardy never tried any roughousing with him or some such bullshit. I had an extended argument with a friend of mine over Hardy's explanation of the incident. I believe, as you appear to, that he was being facetious, talking about waking up in the arms of his trainer and asking what happened. While wearing a cardigan sweater. She seemed to believe he was trying to use humor to mask the shame of actually being KOed by LaBoof. Look -- could Shia beat up Hardy? I...guess. Anything's possible. There's TMZ footage of Shia getting his rear end kicked in a bar fight, so he's at least willing to rumble. But I just can't accept the possibility of that scrawny wiener physically overpowering Hardy, who was bulking up for Bane at the time of the "Lawless" shoot and was probably gacked out of his mind on steroids. I suspect LeBeef had a tantrum, pushed/shoved Hardy, and declared it a win while Hardy was too amused/pity-filled to escalate the situation.

It's like a bunch of robots malfunctioned and threw themselves against a door. The Oliviabot was stuck in sex mode.
