I really love it when German distributors kinda want to keep a movie's original name, but fear that the words are too hard to understand for the target audience. That's how Cradle 2 The Grave became Born 2 Die.

Role Play McMurphy posted:Well I meant an American idiom. I'd be interested to know where the producers got the title because from some cursory Googling that usage appears to be largely British. I actually took it to be a noun. Or...whatever that is called. John McClain is a Die Hard. I heard from someone at the time that that was a term right around when the movie came out. I doubt they would just come up with it out of the blue. The battery Die Hard had to do research too. I don't think it has anything to do with "Old Habits Die Hard"

OT but: This makes no sense.Its also not relevant to anything. In the original he says:Keep yor loving brother happy. In german: Play me the song of death.Then harmonica shoots Frank and before he puts the harmonica in his mouth he says: Play me the song of death. In the english version he says nothing. The german version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_kvd_6zx8c&t=9s Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98wG4OA6iLw Its a small detail,but it really bothered when I found out about it. 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) This  became this:  tl;dr: German dubbing sucks.

That's how Cradle 2 The Grave became Born 2 Die. The absolute worst renaming was for Banlieue 13. I'm pretty sure it was initially released here under that title, but at some point somebody decided it would run much better with as Ghettogangz: Die Hölle vor Paris (Hell at Paris).

The dubs are AMAZING (because they are over the top ridiculous). I think they originals weren't that popular when they came out but they were HUGE in Germany and that's why they kept making them. I try to watch all movies in their original language (with subtitles) but I will always watch these movies with the German dubs.

I was always a big fan of the Polish name for the Die Hard films. When the first part came out they just called it "Szklana Pulapka", which means "Glass trap"/"Trap made of glass" cause the movie took place in a skyscraper. And then the sequels came out and the titles made no sense whatsoever  .

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:A Creole Cajun mob movie set in 1930's New Orleans. Why can't it be all four? 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.

Forktoss posted:Didn't the Swedish do something similar with a lot of Mel Brooks' movies? After the success of The Producers, whose Swedish name translates directly as Springtime for Hitler, pretty much every Mel Brooks movie following that was named Springtime for something there. Springtime for the Sheriff for Blazing Saddles, Springtime for Frankenstein for Young Frankenstein, Springtime for Space for Spaceballs etc. 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... Not to mention that seemingly every single thriller and horror film during the 80's and early 90's had Dödlig (lethal) in the title.
