Fromoverly lengthy and convoluted movie titlesthat overexplain the game to titles that do n’t make any sense , some exercise are so bad they should n’t have been allowed to happen .

While some zany seemingly forged movie titles perfectly fit the timber of the picture show , such asThe VelociPastor , trulyterrible statute title do more scathe than goodto the moving picture . It ’s authoritative to have an eye - catch and memorable title that captures the spirit of the film , which is something quite a few movies have go wrong to attain .

The title ofBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justiceisn’t the only issue with the movie , but it was a large issue that is heavy linked with the other issue that drag it down . For one , the illustrious and highly - anticipatedfight between Superman and Batmanthat is referenced in the title is a lackluster battle make by a misapprehension and Lex Luthor ’s handling , which is not what many were expecting . However , this was only part of the problem .

The reasoning behind the controversial tone of Batman v Superman gain sense for the justification behind it but run out to make the DCEU tonus exculpated .

TheBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justicetitle result to eternal debate over whether the title should have used " v " or " vs " , and tacking on the words " Dawn of Justice " is a lazy choice that presumptively set upJustice League . Even the film writer and director Chris Terrio and Zack Snyder respectively expressed their dislikeof the title"Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice"and propose alternating titles .

The movie sees John attempting to stop the civil state of war brewing between the kingdoms of Barsoom while battling otherworldly creatures .

With no soupcon of an interplanetary dangerous undertaking in the moving picture ’s title , John Cartercements itself as a bland , wispy , and irksome title .

With no intimation of an interplanetary escapade in the film ’s claim , John Cartercements itself as a flat , obscure , and boring title . An early adjustment ofJohn Carterbased on the same series compose by Edgar Rice Burroughs was titledPrincess of Marsand released on DVDasJohn Carter of Mars , both of which were more interesting form of address than but using the name of the titular role and might have helped the movie perform well .

8Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

Directed By Roger Spottiswoode

In defense force ofStop ! Or My Mom Will inject , the claim does place the tone of the movie somewhat accurately . Thebuddy cop drollery filmrevolves around a mother - boy couple and follows how the tough copper Sergeant Joseph Andrew Bomowski ’s ( Sylvester Stallone ) copes with a sojourn from his overbear female parent Tutti ( Estelle Getty ) as she begins interfering with his personal life and job . However , the fact thatStop ! Or My Mom Will Shootisan accurate title does n’t make it any good or interesting .

Despite the interesting comedic assumption and the popular actors Stallone and Getty star in the picture , Stop ! Or My momma Will Shootfell categorical and received negative reviews . The awkward punctuation mark and duration of the title were not humorous enough to make the activeness funniness flick palpate challenging or interesting , and it is justly considered one of the worst title ever .

Directed By Lee Daniels

6Surfer, Dude (2008)

Directed By S. R. Bindler

Surfer , Dudeis another accurate yet utterly savourless and terrible title that builds no excitation for the picture . In improver , despite only being two words , Surfer , Dudeis a confusing title , as it ’s unclear why the title has a commabetween the words " Surfer " and " Dude " . Despite the bizarre comma placement , the claim is fairly accurate , as the comedy movie is about a laidback surfboarder Steve Addington ( McConaughey ) who faces an existential crisis after the waves choke down and he ’s ineffectual to surf for sidereal day on conclusion .

McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have had remarkable collaborations , namelyTrue Detective , their third projection together . However , their second collaboration , Surfer , Dudemarks their bad movie together and is a lackluster experience . The nonsensical title is an accurate mental representation of the cinema , as both the movie and rubric are uninspired , boring , and perplexing .

5I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)

Directed By Sylvain White

I Know What You Did Last Summeris a chilling and intriguing movie title that forces audiences to question which mysterious person knows the chief quality ' darkest secrets and is hunting them down . The original title is already lengthy , but it gets worse with theI Know What You Did Last Summersequels . The second film is titledI Still Know What You Did Last Summer , which is a lazy , sterile , and uninventive statute title for the sequel .

I Know What You Did Last Summer is getting a bequest sequel , but to work , it must ignore the punch-drunk supernatural elements introduced in the later films .

However , the worst offender of terrible rubric in the dealership is the third moving-picture show , I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer . While the second movie ’s title can be forgiven , the third statute title takes everything wrong with the subsequence ’s form of address and build it even bad . The Orcinus orca run from scaring the future victim by stating he know about their misdeeds to the killer forever reiterating that he " still " know and will " always know " .

While the idea of the Bye Bye Man making mass commit violent deed is truly terrifying and an interesting assumption for a horror motion picture , it ’s impossible to take the baddie seriously because of the nonsensical name .

The Bye Bye Manis a title that find like it was created by a nestling and the name of the creature and movie take away any sense of fear . The Bye Bye Mandoesn’t strait like the name of a supernatural horror and sound like the name of a bad horror mockery featuring a man who loves to brandish goodbye , to the horror and disgust of everyone around him .

3Lucky Number Slevin (2006)

Directed By Paul McGuigan

When a movie form of address looks like a typo , it ’s voiceless to garner intrigue and stake in the film . Lucky Number Slevinis a title that is needlessly confusing anddoesn’t give any speck about the film ’s plot . Similar toJohn Carter , the title hinges entirely upon the main role ’s name , who is not already a prominent grapheme in pop culture .

Lucky Number Slevinis anunderrated neo - noir moviewith an telling cast , starring Josh Hartnett , Morgan Freeman , Bruce Willis , Lucy Liu , Stanley Tucci , and Ben Kingsley . The movie follows the nominal part Slevin Kelevra ( Hartnett ) who is mistakenly dragged into a warfare between rival families . While the picture show is a lot of fun , the title does n’t spark any interest in larn what it is aboutand it is just an incomprehensible play on parole .

2Excessive Force II: Force On Force (1995)

Directed By Jonathan Winfrey

Excessive Force II : Force on Forcebreaks the primal wickedness of moving picture titles , having an overly tenacious and redundant title . The word " Force " makes up 50 percent of the six - Book title of respect . It ’s just a insistent and extra version of a generic action motion-picture show title . The movie is a subsequence to the 1993 filmExcessive Force , which only rationalise the first one-half of the title and makes the second one-half even more bizarre .

flick sequels have a mountain to live up to in conserve the original ’s bequest . Which makes these stupid championship selection even more perplexing .

Excessive Force II : Force on Forceis a revenge - driven natural action movie that follows Agent Harly Cordell ( Stacie Randall ) as she hunt down her ex - boyfriend who bewray her and became a felon after almost killing her . However , the titleExcessive Force II : Force on Forcedoesn’t jot at a high - stakes revenge storyand instead sounds like the title of a movie revolving around the life of constabulary officers .

1The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain (1995)

Directed By Christopher Monger

The Englishman Who last Up a Hill but come Down a Mountainmay not be thelongest movie title ever , but it is a shockingly lengthy title that is perplexing and strange . The romantic comedy movie is found on the novel of the same name written by Christopher Monger . It follows two English cartographer Reginald Anson ( Hugh Grant ) and George Garrad ( Ian McNeice ) who journey to a small-scale village in Wales and discover the " mountain " is not tall enough to be class as a mountain and is instead a mound .

The flick title makes good sense in terms of the plot , but at first coup d’oeil , the championship is confusing , protracted , and nonsensical . Bizarrely , The Englishman Who run Up a Hill but arrive Down a Mountainis atitle that gives away the movie ’s entire plot , but still does n’t make any sense .
