Lost In Translation: Chinese movie titles (part 2)

A subject I've featured before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog is the fact that when English movies are translated into Chinese, their original titles sometimes become lost in translation.

"Who you gonna call?"
"Super Power Dare Die Team!"

Here's another batch of movies with unusual Chinese titles...

1) Ghostbusters

When Ghostbusters was released in China, it was renamed rather unusually as, 'Super Power Dare Die Team'.

Imagine if Ghostbusters had been called 'Super Power Dare Die Team' in English. The theme tune just wouldn't have quite the same ring to it!

"Who you gonna call?"
"Super Power Dare Die Team!"

Ghostbusters > Super Power Dare Die Team

Lost in translation: Chinese movie titles

In China, many Hollywood movies are given names which translate somewhat differently from the original title.

Here are a few examples which I found quite amusing...

"One Night, Big Belly"

1) Knocked Up

Rather amusingly, when Knocked Up was released in China it was known as 'One Night, Big Belly'.

I suppose that technically it's true!

Knocked Up > One Night, Big Belly
