    I can't believe there aren't "Cononuts on Snow" aka. Czech name for Cool Runnings (the comedy about bobsledders from Jamaica)

    Does Vaselina contain some scenes that we cut from the version for other audiences? Sounds a bit, well, you know..... ;-)

    Careful now. There are some delicate little flowers on here who - if they manage to work out the meaning of your joke - will have fits of the vapours and send in the Army of the Perpetually Offended, armed with loaded downvote buttons 😂

    Some are quite hilarious, some are outright spoilers (sixth sense)

    In Spain I have always said and heard "Lost in translation", never "Lost in Tokio".

    Number 7 and number 13 are also the italian titles for those movies. The italian title for "The Shawshank Redemption" is very similar to the swedish one, it's called "The wings of freedom". Our title for "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" pisses me off, I've been putting off seeing that movie for a long time because the italian title made it seem like a dûmb romcom.

    Good to know the Finnish translators aren't the only weirdos around. Laughed all the way through! Btw worst Finnish spoiler title award goes to "Rita Hayworth, the key to escape" imho, although the Turbo-Man is a good contender.

    #9: "A Twin Rarely Comes Alone". I thought that was going to be some niche pórn 😳 EDIT: Oh my giddy aunt! Which delicate flowers were offended by that joke?
