Unfortunately Steven Seagal being in a movie with that title automatically conjures up STD's.
There could be a double feature with Hard to Kill.
Joss Whedon's Serenity
Worst movie titles?

What's wrong with that title? And it was already the title of the book.
That's actually an awesome title, really made me want to see the movie.
Transformers 3. What the bloody hell? The phrase "Dark of the Moon" doesn't even make sense!
Cybertron is involved, isn't it? Cybertron Rising would be a much better title.
Dark of the Moon is actually a long-established phrase that's been used as a title for a number of novels, a play, a poetry anthology, and an episode of The Unit.
^ It still sounds awkward and stilted, kind of like the dialogue in the film version of Fahrenheit 451.
These are badass little suckers.^
And yet, somehow, I just can't picture koalas and sugar gliders as being a terribly threatening species.
Hey, those kangaroos can really kick you in the snot box.
It sounds icky.
What’s wrong with the dialogue in Fahrenheit 451?
(WARNING: Topic Drift Ahead)
You can tell it was written by someone whose primary language is not English. Look at the second entry here: Linky
Then go to the Quotes section and read some of that...
No, they would've gone "me, see Firefly? What next? Unicorns? Rainbow Kittens? Forget it."
It sounds like the title of a potential Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton bio pic.
I don’t find anything awkward or stilted at all in any of those lines from the movie. And Truffaut’s opinion of his own screenplay is just another opinion. But then, Fahrenheit 451 has always been one of my favorite films.
Another entry in the bad title sweepstakes: The first Dr. Kildare film, Internes Can’t Take Money, with Joel McCrea and Barbara Stanwyck. That’s only slightly less banal than My Wife Is an Actress.
There was a B-movie in the 1960s called "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo". That's not a typo - at least not mine - someone mistyped the title somewhere and the word "and" became "at".
Second place goes to The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies. You don't need to see the movie - the title says it all.
As far as movies we're actually supposed to take seriously, I hate to give a kick to one of my favorite movie franchises, but the James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" has a title that I just consider silly. Apparently it too was the result of a typo somewhere (it was supposed to be Tomorrow Never Lies, which isn't much better). The problem with the title is it's meaningless, even taking into account "Tomorrow" being a newspaper featured in the film.

Both movies were done by Ray Dennis Steckler who also did The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher.
From going from having just a GED and no educational background in screenwriting or film production to being one of the most respected new film makers in Hollywood is the American dream envisioned. He doers prove that through determination & hard work, you can be a success.
I think he's earned the right to put his name on ALL he does.
If Al Adamson was the poor man's Roger Corman, then Ray Dennis Steckler was the poor man's Al Adamson.
That's funny, since the book does reference Clinton/Lewinsky a lot
(but 'the human stain' means something very different... though that wasn't carried over to the movie, which leaves the title unexplained).

Oh c'mon, that's the King of the "So bad, it's good" list. We used to use that as a subtitle to our lab reports in Chemistry class just to piss off the professor.
The best part about it is the 'secret' basically amounts to "it was manufactured... in a room... full of scientific equipment... and it's green."
Really? I'd put "Electric Boogaloo" up against that.
