Danish movie titles used to be ASS!

[00:00:00]Danish movie titles used to be ass and I mean that literally. In the 80s for some weird reason the translators felt like they had to work the Danish word røv, which means ass, into the title of every single comedy movie. The golf comedy Caddyshack got the Danish title Røvfuld af penge or an assful of money.

[00:00:22]The military comedy Stripes with Bill Murray and John Candy became Røven af fjerde division the ass end of the fourth division.

[00:00:31]I don't know what Bill Murray specifically did to deserve this.

[00:00:34]Someone thought it would be a great idea to call his 1979 comedy Meatballs Røven i vandskorpen or ass underwater. Thank God we stopped doing that. These days we just keep the original titles and Danes are fine with that. I really don't need a James Bond movie called License to Ass.

[00:00:55]What's the worst translation of a movie title you've ever seen?
