Cactus Jack 05-15-2006, 09:09 PM Isnt it The Hills Have Eyes? and nope passionsfan79 05-15-2006, 11:16 PM Thanks Chad Michael Murray 05-15-2006, 11:31 PM The title of this thread just makes me LMFAO Cactus Jack 05-16-2006, 07:46 AM The title of this thread just makes me LMFAO Yeah :rotflmao: savageamusement 05-16-2006, 03:47 PM Not knowing the culture or area that user was asking is from I can't laugh... Many don't know, but a lot of movies have alternative titles as language barriers, change the wording on things When English films are released in foreign countries, it's often difficult to translate the titles exactly. Often the translation is embellished, or the English title must be changed so that a more accurate translation is made because of our use (or misuse) of grammer. To my knowledge all of these translations are correct, I did not make this list up nor grab it off of unreliable websites. I obtained the majority of them from language education sites where examples were made of translations when teaching. But you know, I can't guarantee the accuracy of all of these - it's very difficult to find any kind of source on the net that contains this information. But its a good example English Chinese As Good as it Gets ---Mr. Cat Poop Fargo --- Mysterious Murder in Snowy cream 3 Men and a Baby" ---Marx, Lenin & Mao change a diaper The China Syndrome ---American Nutballs Nixon --The Big Liar Boogie Nights -- His Powerful device makes him famous The Full Monty --Six Naked Pigs The English Patient ---Don't Ask me Who I Am From Russia With Love -- 007 Averted the Spy Plot Vampire in Brooklyn --I Suck, I suck, I suck suck suck Babe, Pig in the City -- I'm well behaved because I want to go abroad English French From here to Eternity As long as there will be men Dumb & Dumber The dope and the idiot Bad Girls Luscious women of the West Fried Green Tomatoes The secret is in the Sauce Big Small Man The Matrix The young people who traverse Dimensions while wearing sunglasses Chad Michael Murray 05-16-2006, 07:16 PM They're from Minnesota. 80sTrivia 05-16-2006, 09:02 PM Those translated names of actual movies are certainly hilarious!!! :lol: passionsfan79 05-17-2006, 07:54 AM So? Im not perfect The title of this thread just makes me LMFAO Chad Michael Murray 05-17-2006, 09:12 AM So? Im not perfect Well what does whether you're perfect or not have to do with the title of this thread? Nobody was trying to diss you. The title was just funny is all. MsOrange 05-17-2006, 10:05 AM i really don't see what's so funny about the title of the thread. but anyway, i've never even heard of this movie, what's it about? Chad Michael Murray 05-17-2006, 10:19 AM I don't know. It just looks funny to me because I've always heard the title of this movie my whole life, so thinking of it as The Eyes Have Hills is just humorous to me. But if you've never even heard of the movie, then you wouldn't think anything of it anyway. Plus, I can see how hills would "have eyes", but I don't understand how eyes would "have hills". It's about a family on a road trip who get stuck out in the desert, and the hills are filled with a family/relatives/people who are all mutated and generally warped because the area was used for radioactive testing years before. The original is a Wes Craven film from 1977, which spawned a sequel and now most recently a remake which was in theaters earlier this year. I'm pretty surprised you've never even heard of it before. Brian Damage 05-17-2006, 10:32 AM To answer your original question, The Hills Have Eyes will be out on DVD on June 20th. MsOrange 05-17-2006, 11:04 AM I don't know.

Chad Michael Murray 05-17-2006, 11:05 AM Oh, extremely. It's really graphic. Although I've known about the original for as long as I can remember, I haven't ever seen it. I've only seen the remake...and as someone who watches a lot of horror movies, there were things in there that even made ME squeamish. vienna waits 05-18-2006, 11:53 PM it is a sick and disgusting movie. HuntingtonM15 05-19-2006, 12:02 AM The original is awful compared to the remake. The only reason I watched the original is because Dee Wallace Stone is in it. |
