Stupidest Movie Title.

[VictimOfChanges]

Well I made this thread when I first joined the forum, but I posted it in the wromg section and got called names for the mistake. Well, I decided to make it again.

Frankenfish
Blackula
A Nightmare On Elm Street Part Five The Dream Child (long enough title?)
Friday The 13th Part Seven The New Blood (looked like the same blood as before.)
Legally Blonde Two Red White And Blonde

[cerealkiller182]

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys- it came out at a very bad time.

[Cronos]

the ones that come straight to mind are

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

[Raoul Duke]

Today You Die (or any Steven Segal movie for that matter)

Santa's Slay (starring WCW's Goldberg!)

Woman, Thou Art Loosed (...All right.)

Cradle 2 the Grave

Get Rich or Die Tryin'

[ilovemovies]

Friday the 13th: Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Jason Takes Manhattan my ass! They don't even arrive in manhattan until the last 20 minutes of the friggin' movie! And even then, he's just going after the few remaining survivors of the ship!

[Bonham]

I just watched Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. I don't care what anybody says, I was entertained.

How could a tagline like "The power of Christ impales you!" not peak your interest?

[SpacePuppet]

Kentucky Fried Movie
Ssssss
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
Phhfft!
Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River
Blackenstein
Microwave Massacre
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Hoo-Scudda Hay!
Blood Spattered Bride
The Fat Spy
Tick...tick...tick
Q
Silence of the Hams
Monkey Bone
Plump Fiction
2 Fast 2 Furious
The Bogus Witch Project
Frankenfish
Jack Forst 2: The Revenge Of The Mutant Killer Snowman

Many of these films were trash that wern't meant to be taken seriously. But still, awful titles, even for what they were.

Not only is it stupid but it's also incorrect (or I like how a critic described it as chronologically challanged :D ) because the event they are talking about occured two summers ago from the movie. :rolleyes:

Gargantua
Passion Of The Clerks (Clerks 2 would've sufficed)

A Better Way To Die
He Knows You're Alone (bad, yet subtly charming)
Post Impact
Love Chronicles

[Bogey93']

The adventures of sharkboy and lava girl 3-D is just terrible. I could puke everytime that title is mentioned.

A great title for a great movie.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is always my answer to this question.

[ComeNightfall]

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!
Cannibal Man

Pootie Tang

[AceD]

Most of the movies mentioned are bad movies with bad titles, or guilty pleasure movies at best.

How about some GOOD movies with bad titles?

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION -- everyone talks about this one, but it is pretty lame. As Darabont has said, no one's suggested a better one, but it's still a bad title.

CITY LIGHTS

DIE HARD

GHOST DOG: WAY OF THE SAMURAI

THE BOURNE SUPREMACY

THE DEVILS REJECTS --- Where's the apostrophe, Zombie!?!? Your title doesn't make any sense!!!!!!

[Badbird]

Funny, because the video box had one title, and the soundtrack had the other title.

I thought you were only mentioning good movies? :o :D

[AceD]

"I thought you were only mentioning good movies? :o :D "

Haha -- nice. I don't think it's that great of a movie personally, but it has a lot of fans. Still, even if I did, the title would always drive me nuts.

First off it's a great title for the film. Secondly I can spy with my little eye....

http://www.muvico.com/posters/2251_B.jpg

AN APOSTROPHE!!!

The dumbest titles ever? Other than what's been already mentioned...

Manos: The Hands of Fate
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Jumanji
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days

[AWP82]

When I first saw its trailer, "Jeepers Creepers", but it grew on me big time once I watched it.

Interesting. Was that soundtrack any good?

[AceD]

"First off it's a great title for the film. Secondly I can spy with my little eye....AN APOSTROPHE"

Yes, but in the Trailer and some of the posters and DVD art, the apostrophe is not always there.

I don't hate the title, but without the apostrophe it's stupid.

And I couldn't agree more with MASTER & COMMANDER....worst title in years.

[FilmKing2000]

Catch That Kid (2004)

Sounds like Michael Jackson's favorite movie.

I think it's the perfect title for the movie. What else would you call it?

[Mr. Fancy Pants]

I'm on AceD's side on this.

The Shawshank Redemption seemed to come out right after The Hudsucker Proxy starring Tim Robbins which was disappointing.
Also the original Shawshank poster looked like Singing in the Rain.
A great movie with awful marketing.

My pick is The Wiz. That was just asking for trouble.

[Tagia_Romero]

Where Did You Put The Money, Doreen

Ugh.

[OrskeeZio]

The Matrix Reloaded (reminds me too much of the horrible Metallica CDs)
Die Hard 2: Die Harder (Is that even a real phrase)

[Sigur509]

How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

[AceD]

"I think it's the perfect title for the movie. What else would you call it?"

I have no idea. That's the problem. But nearly every critic and even Darabont, Robbins and Freeman themselves talk about how it's not a very good title. People just didn't know what it was about when it came out, and that hurt its box office revenue. Freeman says it should have been the same as the King story, RITA HAYWORTH AND THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, which I'm not sure if I like that better or not. I am not sure if there is a better title for it, but that one only resonates after you've seen the movie.

"Also the original Shawshank poster looked like Singing in the Rain.

Yes and yes.

I didn't know that. I still like the title though - to me it fits the movie perfectly. (Plus it helped with that whole Brian Shaw - Shaquille O'Neal catchphrase: "Shaw-Shaq Redemption" :D)

[Digifruitella]

Throw Momma Off The Train..

I don't know if stupid, but definitely funny.

[AngelDust06]

I agree with Get Rich or Die Tryin'
-Zoolander
-Cradle to the Grave
-2 Fast 2 Furious
-Jason Takes Manhattan

[blk_flower]

I agree with Get Rich or Die Tryin'

I agree as well, I hate 50 cent and I hate that ridicolous title

8 legged freaks is another

[Bonham]

I think that The Shawshank Redemption is the perfect title. Except maybe "Andy and the Amazing Technicolor Rock Hammer".

Another stupid movie title though, is Reservior Dogs. I LOVE the movie, but the title says nothing about the movie. Actually, i like the title, but all my firends get confused by it.

Never will agree with that one, Hudsucker was fantastic, one of my top 20 ever, and then the question becomes how the hell does it make Shawshank a poor title? Because they both start with "The" and have three words in it and both have Tim Robbins? HA! That would be like saying Casino is a bad title because it has many of the same players as Goodfellas! Don't agree with the logic here...

As for Reservoir Dogs, I love the title. Titles aren't meant to give an in depth look into what a movie is, that's for the synopsis to show. Now it wouldn't have worked if they called it Superfun Paddycake and the Loch Ness Monster because that just wouldn't make sense, but Reservoir Dogs fits the feel to it. It's kind of like how a song does not necessarily have to feature the title in the lyrics, but most of the time does. It works both ways.

[Bourne101]

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Definitly the worst title in history. Way too long. Only a Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc. need a title that long.

[AceD]

I'm not saying that SHAWSHANK is some horrible title -- after you've seen it, it fits perfectly. But as a marketing device...the title doesn't work. It doesn't entice.

[Weasel]

I just realized something I never thought about before.

What the hell is a reservoir dog?

What the hell is a reservoir dog? Well, I could be wrong, but I believe a reservoir dog is an old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era.

Night Crawler, I don't think Weasel could give much of a crap about a wooden ship, but good try. (You beat me to it, DAMN YOU!)...

Reservoir Dogs is a combination of 2 of the titles for 2 of QT's favorite movies. Something and Straw Dogs.

[Bonham]

I think Reservoir is from "Au Revoir Les Enfants", or something like that. QT just called it the reservoir movie.

[jaymckee74]

how about this...The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford...certainly a mouthful

[Lady Stardust]

don't tell mom the babysitter's dead
and any long titles in general

[wallebe10]

Double Jeopardy (Never seen it but whenever I hear it I think of the tv show)

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood

Freddy vs. Jason (they didn't fight eachother until the last half hour)

Alien vs. Predator (they didn't even fight each until the last half hour)

[CaptainGyro]

Gleaming the Cube.

And yup the title for reservoir dogs came from au revoir les enfants, its just what popped in his head after Quentin saw the title. Never heard the one about Straw Dogs, but that makes sense.
