So I’m looking at the TV listings for this afternoon, and at noon there’s a movie on TCM called The Last Hard Men. It’s a mid-'70s western, but given that I’m a 33-year-old woman who sometimes thinks like a 13-year-old boy, my immediate reaction to the title was to giggle.
And then feel a little depressed…
Are there other movies with unfortunate – and not deliberate – double entendres for titles?
(I mean, c’mon – who in 1976 thought that title wouldn’t sound like a porno??)
Don’t Get Gay With Your Manicure! (1903) is actually about a heterosexual flirtation. Die Grosse Fahrt is the German-language version of the western The Big Trail (1930). Fanny By Gaslight (1944) is a costume drama, and the costumes stay on.
“Whale Rider” inspired me to put “Rider” into the title search at IMDB, which gave many possibilities, including:
The Gentleman Rider
Hard Rider
Iron Rider
All Night Rider
Midnight Rider
The Boy Rider :eek:
The Silent Rider (sounds like a porno featuring my wife )
Sleazy Rider (surprisingly not a porno, apparently)
Buffalo Rider
Bull Rider
