    Airplane! doesn’t have a dumb name, but the German dubbed version does:
    “Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug” (The Incredible Journey On a Crazy Airplane)

    And The Big Bus was called “The Hair-Raising Journey On a Crazy Bus”.
    Even though the movies have nothing to do with each other, apart from being comedies set in vehicles.

      That’s a shame because the movie is great.

      I can’t imagine having such a strong reaction to the title either way. Kind of weird.
