I found a very interesting phenomenon that some movie's names Chinese translations are very different from their English names. Today I will show you some, hope you enjoy them!
Chinese name: 飞屋环游记
fēi wū huán yóu jì
a fly house travel around
Chinese name: 猫和老鼠
māo hé lǎo shǔ
cat and mouse
Chinese name: 变相怪杰
biàn xiàng guài jié
I don't know how to translate this, just a kind of freak man who can change his face
Chinese name: 冒牌天神
mào pái tiān shén
the fake celestial/deity
Chinese name: 生化危机
shēng huà wēi jī
Biochemical crisis
Do you have any better translation suggestions for these movies? Have fun!

I also just discovered this website in my search for this movie's title: www.zenmeshuomovies.com. It's for listing the Chinese translations of western movie names.
In order to grasp more public attention,hardly any films' names are interpretd literally.these commercial films are often entitled with an attractive local name which even has nothing to do with the movie per se.
