Thought I'd start a little thrad about twin named films

For example

Le Mans '66 - a brilliant film and one I can watch over and over. Everyone in Europe knows what Le Mans is, where it is and what a fierce race it has always been... a true test of endurance, especially back in days gone by
Quite literally... heroes, many dead

But allegedly America needed a new name for this great film

Same film.... crap name....and yes it has a v in the title...not even a vs

Released as Firebirds in the US.

The Jericho Mile.
Released in Germany as Ein Man Kampft Allein (A man struggles alone).


Those are the ones that spring most immediately to mind, but there will be dozens more just in my own DVD collection.

And THAT is what I'm on about
