Phalanx is infamous for the incongruous box art in its American release: it displays a bearded elderly man dressed in overalls, wearing a fedora and playing a banjo while a futuristic spaceship flies in the background. The popular media site IGN named it their fifth "Most Awesome Cover" in a top 25 countdown on their website.

The box art designers later admitted that they had deliberately chosen this theme in order to attract the customer with something original, considering there were many space shooters in the market that looked alike.

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!

I think the Penanggalan has the coolest way to defeat it. Find the body while the head and entrails are out being creepy and poo poo, then fill the cavity with broken glass. When she comes back and tries to go back in her body, she'll destroy her organs on the glass.

The new Red Dawn is the movie that was originally about a Chinese invasion, but after the movie was finished the producers realized that plot would alienate a huge potential market, so it was delayed for a year while they applied extensive CGI to change the invading for to North Korea, correct?

If I remember rightly it only cost $1million and 15 minutes of re-shot footage to make the change. They must have been the most generic "East Asian" baddies ever.

That's a fun video and all, but the :spergin: part of me things some/most of those shouldn't count, since they're just movies named after a character or a proper noun for something in the movie (Annie Hall, Donnie Brasco, The Ladies' Man, etc.).

Basically, I wish it was four minutes of the "As Good as it Gets" sort of title-drop, since that takes more awkward effort.

Also it doesn't include the best example:

"I must have scared..."

"THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of her!!"
