Which are the odd ones out....
Cold Fusion
Chubby Rain
Vision Quest
Collateral Beauty
Prognosis Negative
Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo
Maximum Conviction
Crossing Delancey
Boiling Point
Dead Trigger
Maximum Risk
Against the Dark
Force of Existence
Well it isn’t Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, I can assure you. That’s one of the best movie titles ever.
shareThats the odd one out. It actually describes what you're going to see.
Most of the others are two random words thrown together.
Collateral Beauty is probably the worst. It has no meaning.
At least Maximum Risk tells you the Risks taken will be at Maximum so I guess thats something to look forward to in the movie.
Excessive Force II - Force On Force
shareYou didn't actually SEE the movie did you?
The title comes from the protagonists best friend who claims to be part American Indian.
A "Vision Quest" is taken from American Indian culture. A irrational but driving force that becomes a obsession for a man, who has to go through a ordeal to achieve the goal and reach a higher state of being.
While probably a bit too much for this film, it fits.
>A "Vision Quest" is taken from American Indian culture.
So Vision Quest is a direct letter for letter translation?
https://www.britannica.com/topic/vision-quest
Vision quest, supernatural experience in which an individual seeks to interact with a guardian spirit, usually an anthropomorphized animal, to obtain advice or protection. Vision quests were most typically found among the native peoples of North and South America.
The quest itself typically involved going to an isolated location and engaging in prayer while forgoing food and drink for a period of up to several days; some cultures augmented fasting and prayer with hallucinogens. In some traditions the participant would watch for an animal that behaved in a significant or unusual way; in others the participant discovered an object (often a stone) that resembled some animal. In the predominant form, the initiate had a dream (the vision) in which a spirit-being appeared.
So it is obvious you are commenting without actually SEEING the movie. So I will explain.
SHUTE is the "guardian spirit" that Louden has to interact with. Louden has to lose 20 pounds to make weight to wrestle with him. His strenuous workout routine substitutes for the getting high part.
That's why I said it's a very loose translation, but it kinda fits.
I don't know how the panty sniffing scene fits in, that's a "vision quest" of a different sort😀.
>So it is obvious you are commenting without actually SEEING the movie.
Not with a name like that, and now you've explained that it's a white washed term, sorry, refuse. I'm from Europe, I apologise that I failed to recognise the made up umbrella term some Yankees flung on to a past time of the natives they almost wiped out, and a ritual that was outlawed.
It's a "Schadenfreude". If you can't find a better translation, don't translate it.
>That's why I said it's a very loose translation, but it kinda fits.
Like I said, is this a letter by letter translation or some fabricated name that sounded cool to some 1800s white dudes? Do they even have the original words for it or have they been lost in time, scrubbed from history?
>SHUTE is the "guardian spirit" that Louden has to interact with.
What are you blabbering on about?
So by that logic Johnny from Karate Kid is Larusso's "guardian spirit" and his foot interacts with it/him.
Daniel caught a wiff of that dooby Johnny was puffing while sat on the John so thats the drugs part covered. Daniel San had a "vision" of his protector when Miyagi jumped the fence and kicked Cobra Kai ass. The ordeal Larusso passed through, and overcame to achieve his ultimate goal of taking Ali to the bone zone was taking a face full spaghetti at the country club party. Quest Visioned and Completed!
> who has to go through a ordeal to achieve the goal
>His strenuous workout routine
Wow. Sounds.....Badass.
Nice try though hombre, almost, almost.
You sure have some very strong opinions about the validity of the title for a guy who has.....
NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE😆.
Why don't you tell me what your opinion is on another movie you haven't seen?
And if it wasn't for us the good ol 🇺🇸 all you Europeans would be singing "Deuchland, Deuchland uber alles!"
>NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE
This your final gambit after I dashed all your silly explanations?
When commenting on the title, do I really need to see the movie?
>And if it wasn't for us the good ol 🇺🇸 all you Europeans would be singing "Deuchland,
And what does that have to do with some 1800s white dudes renaming a native past time "Vision Quest" instead of keeping its original name?
At that point you know you've lost when you have to resort to unrelated slights.
Hmmmmm do you NEED to see the film before you can comment on the title?🤔
No... you can comment on anything you wish.
But it would sure put some more weight into your OP and rebuttal.
I may add your lack of critical disclosure in the OP makes you seem slippery. Most people would assume that a person making such a bold comment on "Worst Title Movie Ever?" , would have actually SEEN the movie to know if the title fits or not.
The Third Man(1949) I thought was a horrible title, but after I watched the film, I had a different opinion.
BTW I don't really recommend Vision Quest, its a average movie at best.
>But it would sure put some more weight into your OP and rebuttal.
The weight came in your own replies.
