Re: Movie titles that don't make sense
I love the series, but that always has irritated me. They even had a Thin Man radio series, still overlooking this error.
Also, I was always confused by the Stallone Rambo movies. First Blood. Fine. Rambo: First Blood, Part II. Fine. Rambo III. Huh? Surely you mean Rambo II, or First Blood III: Rambo II.

Like the Indiana Jones movies before they went back and changed the titles. The first one had an entirely different name and the the sequels all put Indiana Jones in front of the title.
So it should have been First Blood (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Rambo: First Blood II (Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom) and Rambo: First Blood III (Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade)
I did like that the last one was simply called Rambo though.

A VIEW TO A KILL (yes, I know there's that line "what a view...to a kill." Neither make sense!)
I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (but it was last summer in the last movie...it should have been "I Still Know What You Did The Summer Before Last Summer"
)

Re: Movie titles that don't make sense
Awesome crossover idea, but the title is way too long!
I believe it's referring to "the elephant in the room," i.e., a problem that everyone is aware of but nobody wants to talk about. I think it's a great title.

Re: Movie titles that don't make sense
Wow, 3 pages and no mention of Final Destination 2, 3, or 5. The whole concept of using "final" in the title of films in a chain of sequels is just irritating and I don't care if they caught on by the 4th film and called it The Final Destination...b/c it wasn't, they made a 5th.

Re: Movie titles that don't make sense
Back to the Future is one of the best and most apt movie titles.
I'll throw in, History of the World: Part 1
Cause there were no other parts.
Also, the John Rambo discussion/confusion reminded me of this.
NSFW language

Yeah, not sure how the OP missed that the opening scene takes place in Fargo, when Jerry first negotiates the deal. They don't return there, but that's where all the trouble starts.
