* When early Creator/BillMurray movies were released in Denmark, the title used to often have the word "Røv", meaning "ass" in it. ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' became "Røven Fuld af Penge", which means, translated to its nearest English equivalent, "An Assload of Cash". ''Film/{{Stripes}}'' was "Røven af Fjerde Division", "The Ass of Fourth Platoon" and Film/{{Meatballs}} was "Med Røven i Vandskorpen", "With the Ass in the Edge of the Water", which is a danish idiom meaning something like "In a tricky situation".
* The Danish title of ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' is ''The Princess and the Crazy Knights'', which was coined in the hope that it would remind people of ''Monty Python and the Crazy Knights'' (''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''). It didn't work.
* ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'''s Danish titel is ''En verden udenfor'', Which translates to "A world outside".

* The original Swedish title of Creator/SimonaAhrnstedt's debut novel, ''Literature/{{Overenskommelser}}'', can be translated into "Agreements" or "Understandings". But the Danish title, "Aegtepagten", can be translated as "The marriage pact". Which is rather close to being a literal translation, actually.
* Happened quite often to early ''Creator/StephenKing'' books and their subsequent movie adaptations.
** ''Literature/TheShining'' was translated to "Ondskabens hotel" which translates to "Hotel of Evil".
** ''Literature/SalemsLot'' became "De Dødes By" which translates to "City of the Dead".
** ''Literature/{{It}}'' became "Det Onde" which translates to "The Evil". Notably [[Film/{{It2017}} It(2017)]] kept its original English title while the [[Film/It1990 1990 adaptation]] did not.
