'Straight to Hell' is not a 'literal title'

Sorry to be pedantic, but "Straight to Hell" was never a title for this movie. Neither it is a "literal title", as the IMDb claims: it's simply a poor translation. In Italian, "diretto" means "straight" indeed, but "in diretta" is TV jargon for "broadcast live". So INFERNO IN DIRETTA actually means LIVE... FROM HELL.
