English film titles "translated" into other languages

For reasons unknown, certain countries rename English movie titles when the movie is being released. This used to be the case in Denmark, particularly in the 70s, 80s, and 90's. A few examples:

The Three Amigos = They Came, They Saw, They Ran

Deliverance = Trip With The Death

National Lampoons Vacation = Dad's Cool Holiday

The Rookie = Cold Lead and Hot Beatings

Sister Act = Fun in the Convent

Planes, Trains & Automobiles = Ass Trip on First Class

Thunderball = Agent 007 in the Fire

Raiders of the Lost Ark = The Hunt for the Lost Treasure

And inexplicably:

Die Hard with a Vengeance = Die Hard: Mega Hard!

My favourite is however from Norway:

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me = Austin Powers: The Spy Who Spermed Me ... 🤤

LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH:

The Shawshank Redemption = Dreams of escaping
Pulp Fiction = Violent Times
Inception = The Origin
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest = Trapped with no way out
Jaws = Shark

😃👍

I particularly like Shark! It's a more fitting title! In Danish it's called "The Mouth of Death" btw!

'Shark' is a pretty fitting title...i only would add a 'Holy shit' at the start and a buch of '!!!!!!' at the end

" You yell shark and you've got a panic on your hands on the 4th of July. "

'Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women'

That movie had some of the most memorable dialogue ever.

Another line I liked from that creep mayor was, " This is not the time and place to perform some sort of a half-assed autopsy on a fish..."

'And im not going to stand here and see that thing cut open and see that little Kitner boy spill out all over the dock!'

There are dozens of amazing lines in Jaws
Some of the best ever
