KRIMINALCI U
©ATORU! (2/5)
Odabrani
komentari jednog stripa koji
kritikuje lo¹e prevoðenje naslova stranih filmova. Najinteresantnije je ¹to
svako misli da je kod njih najgore po tom pitanju.
●
Nemaèka
● "Tangled" → "Rapuzel -
Frisch verföhnt" ("Rapuzel - Freshly picturised/blow-dried")
"Verföhnt"
isn't even a word in German! It's the merging of "verfilmt"
(picturised/turned into a film) and "geföhnt" (blow-dried) because…
she has a lot of hair!
|
● There
are also Action Movies here, that love the word "Gesetz"
("Law") in it: "Law abiding citizen" →
"Das Gesetz der Rache" ("The law of revenge") "Pride and glory" → "Das
Gesetz der Ehre" ("The law of honor") "Brooklyn's Finest" → "Das
Gesetz der Straße" ("The law of the street") And
a lot of other movies featuring "Rache" ("Revenge") in
the title: "Justice" → "Pakt der
Rache" ("Pact of revenge") ● "Thor - the dark world" = "Thor - the dark kindom" ● "Airplane!" → "Die

Chef nicht um?" ("Well ... why don't we kill the boss?")

blanrantly but "froren" comes from "frieren" which means
"to freeze")]

Highlands" ("Merida - Legends of the highlands")

dir" ("Back to you")

Nacht mit meinem Traummann" ("The night with my man of dreams")
"Dawn of the dead" → "Zombies im

greets the groundhog" ● "Stripes" = "Ich glaub'
mich knutscht ein Elch" = "I believe I'm being kissed by an
elk" "Cellular" = "Wenn er auflegt,

"Dänische Delikatessen" ("Danish delicacies")
"Pirates of the Caribbean" → "Fluch
der Karibik" ("Curse of the Caribbean")
Most
translations in germany are the original titel + some aditional phrase or a
translation. Some times they got it wrong like in
"The Revenant" → "Der
Rückkehrer" ("Rückkehrer" is someone coming back but not in that
zombielike way. The right translation should be "Wiedergänger" for
somebody walking again)
● "Escape from New York" →
"Die Klapperschlange" ("The rattlesnake")
"The other end of the line"
→ "Bei Anruf Liebe" ("With call love")
"The proposal" → "Selbst ist die
Braut" ["The bride herself" (The German phrase is roughly

Pfad Gottes" ("The bloody path of God")
● "Un genio, due compari, un pollo" (A
Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe) → "Nobody ist der Grösste"
(Nobody is the Greatest) and thus making it a direct Prequel, not an (only
implied!) Prequel. Oh, and Denmark did the same! ("Jeg hedder stadig
Nobody")
|
● "In order of disappearance"
→ "Einer nach dem anderen" ("One after the other") ● "The enternal sunshine of a
spotless mind" → "Vergissmeinnicht" (which means both
"forget-me-not" and a flower botanically called
"myosotis" – prim. ured.: na srpskom je "nezaboravak"
ili "spomenak") ● "Annie Hall" →
"Der Stadt Neurotiker" ("The city Neurotic") ●
Nemaèka (sa engleskog na… engleski…) ● When "Taken" came out, they
renamed it to "96 Hours" in Germany, since he only had that much
time to save his daughter. When the sequels came, they got troubles in
naming the sequels, because they couldn't just take "Taken 2", so
they just kept the "96 hours" part: "96 Hours - Taken 2"
and "96 Hours - Taken 3", even though those movies had no time
limit at all in their plot! It's mostly funny, because they chose an English
title for the movies ("96 Hours" - not the German translation that
would be "96 Stunden"), so they made themselves more troubles then
they needed to! ● "Cradle 2 the grave" =
"Born 2 die" ● "Accepted" = "S.H.I.T." ● "Die hard with a vengeance" = "Die slowly – Now
more than ever" "Maleficent" = "Maleficent – The dark fairy" "Top Gun" = "Top Gun – They neither fear death nor
devil" "Ghost" =

● "Scissors" = "Final Instinct"
● "Australia" = "Long way home"
"Maze runner" = "Maze Runner - Chosen in
the Labyrinth"
● "Black Eagle" = "Red Eagle"
(???)
● Switzerland (maybe also Germany) tries to be cool
and use English:
"The boat that rocked" = "Radio rock
revolution"
"What happend in Vegas" = "Love
Vegas"
"Shanghai noon" = "Shang-High noon"
"U-Turn" =
"U-Turn - no way back" (despite that this is the exact opposite
of a u-turn)
|

● "Billy Elliot" → "Billy Elliot - I will dance" ●
Danska ● "Stripes" →
"Røven af fjerde division" ("The ass of fourth
devision") "Planes, trains and automobiles"
→ "Røvtur på 1. klasse" (the first word can't
really be translated it'd be "Asstrip" if you did it anyway, the
whole thing means something along the lines of "Unpleasant trip on 1st
class") "Bird on a wire" → "Du
skyder, jeg smiler" ("You shoot, I'll smile") "Prince of darkness" → "I

everyhing") "Beverly Hills cop" → "Frækkere end politiet tillader" ("Naughtier than the police allow") "Big trouble in Little China" = "Hvem
springer kineserne for?" (literal translation would be "Who do the
Chinese jump for?" the way it's written "jumping for somebody"
in this context means "Who do they take orders from?") |

og regn" ("Sing in sun and rain")
● "Gods Army" was "translated"
to "Gods Secret Army" (not translated, just added "secret")
when published with danish subtitles

flyve, dybt at falde" ("Fly high, fall deep")
● "Die hard with a vengeance" →

named in Danish at the time, the comic strip was called "Radiserne".
● "Friends with Benefits" →
"Bollevenner" ("Fuck-buddies")
"Meat Balls" → "Med Røven i
vandskorpen" (something like "Ass in the Water Surface") which
was just one of the ass-themed movie titles of the time.
● Captain America: The Winter Soldier →
Captain America: The Return of The First Avenger

chance" ("Last chance")

Stjörnustríð (Star Wars) movie was the story of Logi Geimgengill, who
lived with his relatives Ófeigur Frændi and Bera Frænka on the planet
Urðir and set off with the captain of the Fálkinn, Hans Óli, and his
first mate Loðinn to rescue Lilja prinsessa, who had been captured by
Svarthöfði and taken to the Helstirni that was then used by its
commander, Tjörvi stórmoffi, to blow up her planet Alviðra.... ● "Jaws" →
