    Batman/Superman: Apocalypse

    It’s a movie primarily about Supergirl, that largely takes place on earth and does not threaten the end of the world. It does briefly go to Apokolips, but that’s a different word than the title

      Maybe Turkey doesn’t have an expression akin to “now you see me, now you don’t”?

      Could have instead translated the trilogy as “Abracadabra,” "Alakazam, and “hocus pocus” or whatever the turkish equivalent of that is. “Elemtere fiş kem gözlere şiş”

    Pontypool, such a bad name for a movie but a really good low budget horror movie

    The guest, good throwback action thriller with an extremely bland, boring name

    Saw 3d: the final chapter is the 7th of 10 in the series

    Gonna cheat here with a series called The Night Agent. It’s a name that should be given to a parody spy thriller, not something that tries to be serious. “Tries” being the keyword there, as it is atrociously bad. It’s got all the clichés you’d expect. I turned it off early into episode two, I just couldn’t watch it anymore.

      That’s a shame because the movie is great.

      I can’t imagine having such a strong reaction to the title either way. Kind of weird.

      Just based off the title I refuse to watch it, so braindead

      IKR?? Even as an 8 / 9 year old I was crawling out of my skin from the cringe. It was prerty good but i tried to watch it again as an adult and the intro was too bubbly.

      Glad someone else gets it. Looks like “Brainrot: the movie”


      A very very very similar movie is Strange Magic which is actually written by George Lucas. Supposedly. And this one is even more brainrotted, but has a super devoted fanbase. It’s… unique, but tries to be like a musical disney movie, and a lot of the songs don’t actually sound good, or the performance makes your skin crawl. Honestly i liked it overall, the romance was good. I’m just surprised at why this movie has such a devoted fanbase like 11-13 years later, and simultaneously remains so underground like it’s a movie for freemasons.

      The title of that one is just the name of that ELO song. Not sure how i feel about that, but i guess it’s better than “epic.”

        If I Had Legs I’d Kick you came out in 2025… I have no idea what you’re referring to here, but it ain’t that.

          Oh dude i thought they meant they would kick me in response to the movie poster i posted ('epic."). And then i gave another example of a film similar to it in my comment.

          Didn’t realise that was the name of a film. Totally confusing

    In Spain Die Hard was called Jungla de Cristales. Something like “glass jungle”. Didn’t make any sense for the sequels.
    The movie Jude needed a different name in Germany. Translates as “Jews”.

    The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle

    Which does actually describe the film, but makes for a shitty title. Although, if you’ve seen the film, you might understand how they couldn’t come up with anything else.
