 I love the names of the Fast & Furious movies in Japan. They sound like video games.

Wild Speed
Wild Speed X2
Wild Speed X3: Tokyo Drift
Wild Speed Max
Wild Speed Mega Max
Wild Speed Euro Mission

Probably does not beat "Captain Supermarket" for Army of Darkness or "Malkovich's Hole" for Being John Malkovich.

In Malaysia, Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow had the title translated to be "Lusa" (not officially, just in the subtitle). In Malay, this literally means "the day after tomorrow" as opposed to the figurative way the English title used it. It got a pretty big laugh among Malaysians when it appeared on screen.
