"Dos Locos Sin Auto!"

Wading through the bootleg DVD stalls in La Paz, looking for gifts for my little sister (which was largely unproductive, Cait, sorry, I'll find you something in Buenos aires), I was dumbfounded by some of the titular translations of the movies on offer, which are 90 percent of Hollywood origin. So often it seems that even though a straight-up literal translation into Spanish would be perfectly adequate, the translators get fancy and stumble horribly.
Example: Rushmore. A perfectly fine title, somewhat iconic and unfuck-withable, and a proper noun to boot: non-language-specific and therefore no need to translate. In South America it becomes: Tres es Multitud (Three's a Crowd). It goes from a kind of obtuse, monolithic one word coda to a 70´s sit-com.
But they could have done worse. There seems to be a great demand for comedies in South America that advertise themselves as involving Locos (crazy guys). I beleive that the translators belive that if a film involves Locos or any action that could be considered loco, there should be fair warning, in case any viewers are sensitive to these things.
Therefore, Wonder Boys becomes Fin de Semana de los Locos (Weekend of the Crazy Guys).
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is perfectly translatable, yet they went with Dos Locos en Vacaciones, which maybe is accurate, yet just not the same.
I´ve also seen the Cuba Gooding Jr. nautical sex-farce classic Boat Trip titled as something like Cruise de los Locos, which misses a lot of subtleties of that complex work.
Another modern classic, Christmas with the Cranks gets dumbed down to Navidad con Los Locos. I don't know how anyone could watch Tim Allen's performance in that and confuse his crankiness with craziness!
Finally we have my personal favorites- Burt Reynolds and Dom Delouise in Los Locos De Cannonball part 1 and 2 and, of course, Ashton Kutcher and Sean William Scott's breakout performances in DOS LOCOS SIN AUTO! (TWO CRAZY GUYS WITHOUT A CAR!).
