If you think long & hard ;), then just about any name of any movie seems suspicious. Sometimes for several competing reasons.

James Bond (or Bondage) would be a great name for an S & M film star.

That one wasn’t an accident. They knew exactly what they were doing. 😛

Yeah, porn stars. Measuring the size of their… accomplishments. 🙂 And so on.

I keep thinking the name of that George C. Scott film about him tracking down his porno daughter is called the afore-mentioned _Super 8_. But it’s _Hardcore_. A little spot on.

Going down the list of his films we find: _The Whipping Boy, Brute Force, Descending Angel, The Rescuers Down Under, Pals, Choices, Crossed Swords, Beauty and the Beast, The Savage Is Loose, Bank Shot, Oklahoma Crude, They Might Be Giants, This Savage Land, The Flim-Flam Man, Not with My Wife, You Don’t!, The Hustler_.

Quite a few sound like gay porn.

Plus appearances in the TV series _Naked City_ and _Golden Showcase_.

All of the “Oh God” titles

(The concept of an aging George Burns in a porn flick…) 🙂

Just about every one-word-titled movie ever, regardless of what the word is, since there’s built-in ambiguity:

Gandhi  
Chicago  
etc

and

The Passion of the Christ (which arguably already was and might not need to be remade)

The sex scenes in Van Lustbadder’s “The Ninja” would have been tough to depict on the big screen. As it happens, the movie version was campy as hell.

Changed to “Vaiana” in Europe due to the name already having been taken by… well, you all can probably guess.
