sketchley Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Impressive. Harder one 4 ya: Boots. Quote
Major Focker Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Animal House, using German for some reason. ah, good one. in hindsight, Stable is quite a direct translation Quote
electric indigo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 you got it! i guess it wasn't that much harder after all. so let me try harder: Travel Reviews it's a totally weird double-translation, and i was surprised it came out that way. but i assure you that it's not an obscure film. at all. Minority Report? Quote
Renato Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 This one is beautiful: "Spy grand strategy" Still trying to work out "Boots" and "Travel Reviews", though.. Stumped! Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 OK, here's a stumper "Robot Human" and it's NOT what you're thinking it is! I even ran it through several times. HINT- Stanly Kubrick Quote

Jefuemon Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 clockwork orange? Damn, got it in one! I understand how "clockwork" would give you robot, but I never figured out how orange gave human. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Impressive. Harder one 4 ya: Boots. Still can't figure than one out!!! Quote
sketchley Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Re: Boots Not so much a hint, but just how it was... uhm, discovered: English -> Japanese -> English Of course, if anyone wants a hint... ask and I'll give one (Of course, coming up with a hint that won't make it super easy is another story...)

sketchley Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Nope. ... and just realized that I forgot a step in the translation discovery: English > German > English > Japanese > English Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Das Boot? I was about to mention that masterpiece of a film!!! Quote
sketchley Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Nope. The only hint I'll give is: it has nothing to do with ships! Quote
hulagu Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Nope. The only hint I'll give is: it has nothing to do with ships! The Hulk? Quote
hulagu Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 "It is not permitted" One word movie name. Quote
Major Focker Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 This one is beautiful: "Spy grand strategy" clue please? Still trying to work out "Boots" and "Travel Reviews", though.. Stumped! Travel Reviews = Star Trek. don't know where the "Reviews" part came from though. i suppose from the star rating system in reviews Das Boot? that was my first thought actually. but i dismissed it, thinking it was too obvious "It is not permitted" One word movie name. Unforgiven? Quote
Renato Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 clue please? For "Spy Grand Strategy"? OK, so the clue is in the way I did it. I used Google to translate the English into Japanese, then Excite to translate back to English. Google nowadays translates the titles of the more famous movies and books into the title as it's known in the region of the target language. Therefore, what we end up with here is the actual transliteration of the Japanese title for this certain work. Unforgiven? Damn, that's what I was gonna guess! Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 that was my first thought actually. but i dismissed it, thinking it was too obvious Me too, after a few days and no one getting it I just said the heck with it. Quote
