Different Movie Titles

[gerry]

After watching the Movie "Welcome To The Jungle" last night i later discovered that the movie was known as "Rundown" when it was released in the states.I remember the same happened to the movie "Road Kill" when it was released here in the UK.Over in the states it was known as "Joyride".Can anyone else think of any other movies that have been released in the states but when the movie came to the UK it was known as another title.

Not quite, but the Madness of King George III had to drop the III when it was advertised in America cos they wanted to know what happened in the prequels ie. I and II. haha

Geedogg is right - that actually happened. There was also some confusion when Malcolm X was released!!

Here's one for you. 'Someone like you' in the States. We called it Animal Attraction. It was taken from a book called Animal Husbandry and all the best lines in the film come straight from the book. The name in the States comes from the song that plays over the final scene, so nothing to do with the story at all, grrrr.

There was a rubbish film called 'Reindeer Games' released in US, then the name changed to 'Deception' (I think) in the UK. Around 2000 I think.
