Hmmm, The author states there is no pattern, and then goes on to refer to the most well known ones, Pretty whatever, Steven Seagal and“yosai”, the use of "ai" in any romantic comedy.... in twenty years of watching movies here I have found that titles reflect more about what is hip at the time they come out than what they are about (or what previous hit movie they can be tenuously linked to). Getting audience attention is primary.
My favourite bad subtitle was a Kris Kristofferson western, in which he played a sheriff. His warning to the bad guys that if they ever showed their faces in town again they should "expect no quarter", (i.e. no welcome, no lodgings) was translated as " we will only wait fifteen minutes.". I had to wind it back three times to confirm this, and the rest of the plot lost all its meaning for me.
