Awful movie titles

[Cerys]

Most of these make One Shoe Makes It Murder seem positively inspired.  She fell out of a tall building, you see.  But she was only wearing one shoe when they found her.  So that meant ... agh, I've lost the will to t

Though if the films title was repeatedly said by Max from 'Hart To Hart' throughout the movie, it would redeem it.

"Do-mestic Dist-oibance!"

[Nik Drou]

Has this one been mentioned yet?



I like that the word 'sport' is used four times on one poster, as it's round about the point where words become meaningless through repetition.

How does anyone make a special guest appearance in a film?

[mrClaypole]

The Hurt Locker. It sounds a bit... wussy. Not that they should have given it a generic name like 'Rotation', just something good.

THE HURT LOCKER conjures up th image of someone having indulged in taking too much anal.

You bumped the thread for that?  At least give us a new title.

Sorry was meant too add that I always thought "Carry on Follow that camel" was dreadful.

Sorry was meant too add that I always thought "Carry on Follow that camel" was dreadful.

But that's not the original title - in the UK, it was Follow That Camel. It was only years later that 'Carry On' was added to it.

Like Don't Lose Your Head , the reason usually given for this was to do with legal difficulties in using 'Carry On' in the titles, due to a change in distributor – although it's been claimed that Rank thought it would be better business if 'Carry On' wasn't used, but this doesn't sound too convincing to me.

Why didn't they just rename it Carry On Camel once they'd secured the rights down the line?

Er, because they're not encouraging the camel to carry on, rather, the people who are following it...

Purely Belter has to be one of the most irritating film titles going, even typing it made me wince. And it's shit. Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is also quite annoying, but I can't comment on the film's quality.

God almighty. Talk about your appalling titles for even worse films. If this had a more ambiguous title I might have been inclined to investigate[nb]not really HAHAHA[/nb] but fucking hell... it's just gobbledegook. Cramming as many exciting and obvious words into a title does not big your film up in the way you think it does. A little modesty never hurt anyone.

That said, the poster does kind of imply that MF Doom might make an appearance, so I might shell out a few quid to check this one out.

And then there's Tron Legacy, which pisses all over the legacy of Tron.[nb]Though I suppose Tron, Rehashed and Trashed wouldn't pull in the right demographic[/nb]

I spluttered obscure pretentious whisky all over my legs.

Mmm yeah. Lionsgate. Those guys suck.

So that's why the tax authorities can't find Snipes. What a cunning disguise. He'll have to wear it for the rest of his life though.

I saw a film in poundland yonks ago called "Circuitary Man II: plughead rewired", also there was one called "Raging angels" which conjures up all manner of confusion in my head.

But these are all supposed to be humorous titles. Iain DALE
