As a spanish speaker, I’ve noticed a few weird ones, mostly comedies.

A Detective Loose in Hollywood (Beverly Hills cop)
Better alone than with bad company (planes, trains and automobiles)
Mrs Doubtfire, Dad for life (Mrs doubtfire)
Sweet Home, Sometimes! (Parent trap)

Die Slowly (Die Hard in German).
The unbelievable journey in a crazy plane (Airplane! in German)
A twin rarely comes alone (The Parent Trap in German)

A twin rarely comes alone? Is that like a german saying?

I find the first one annoying. They really did create the sense of Beverly Hills as it's own world, not 'los angeles' and definitely not Hollywood.
