* ''Film/Hostel'': The title refers to the setting of the movie but is also a homophone of "hostile," which certainly suits the action of the film.

Literally "A Week From God" (Referring to the fact Bruce gets his powers from God, although for [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer longer than a week]]), the "Da Dio" part has more colloquial connotations as "to die/kill for", as in how Bruce's first week as God is non-stop fun.

*[[FalseReassurance Hong Kong translators don't love this trope. They married it and had a million kids.]] It may actually be rarer for an HK title that ''isn't'' a pun, although particularly huge blockbusters tend not to have punny names. This is in contrast of mainland Chinese translators, who are infamous for coming up with exact and occasionally [[TheComicallySerious hilariously flat]] translations ([[LanguageEqualsThought there was no exact word for "humour" in Chinese before it was phonically translated]]).
**''{{Film/Pixels}}'': A truly magnificent congregate of jokes in one short title, 屈機起格命. Strictly speaking, there is only one pun: 格 is pronounced exactly the same as 革, and 革命 means "revolution" (and 起革命 means "starting a revolution", but this is used more and more in non-serious contexts in modern times), while 起格 means "pixelated".
**''{{Disney/Tangled}}'': 魔髮奇緣. Also a case of TranslationMatchmaking with ''{{Disney/Enchanted}}''. 法, the second half of 魔法 (magic) is pronounced the same as 髮 (hair).
**''Film/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'': 傲慢與屍變, compared to ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'''s 傲慢與偏見. 屍變 (zombification) rhymes with 偏見 (prejudice).
**''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': 玩轉腦朋友. 腦 (brain) is pronounced very similar to 老 (old), which is often combined with 朋友 as "old friend".
**''Film/JupiterAscending'': 木昇戰紀. 昇 (ascend) is pronounced same as 星 as in 木星 (Jupiter; literally "Wood Star").
**''{{Literature/Room}}'' (which apparently only got a Chinese translation upon being made into a film): 抖室. It's a pun based on 斗室 (small room), the point of the story, and that 斗 sounds the same as 抖 ([[NightmareFuel shiver]]).
**''Film/ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse'': 戇[[UntranslatedTitle Scout]]打爆喪屍城. "Scout" here sounds similar to a swear word for "penis", which combines with 戇 to mean "idiot".
**''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy%27s_Home_(film) Daddy's Home]]'': 左一爸又一爸. Double dose: 爸 (dad) = 巴 (slap), and while spoken out loud it sounds like describing someone being slapped from both left and right, 右 (right) has been replaced by the same-sounding 又 (another).
**''Film/TheIntern'': 見習冇限耆. It means "there is no limited period on internship", with the 期 (period) swapped out for the identically-sounding 耆 (elderly).
**''Film/SuicideSquad'': 自殺特攻：超能暴隊. 部隊 (troops/unit) has 暴 (violence) swapped in.
