13 Famous Movie Titles That Got Seriously Lost In Translation

12. "Excitement 1995" - The Shawshank Redemption - China

url-3Excitement 1995. Sounds like a big event or something, doesn't it? Nope. It's what China felt was an appropriate title for the relatively sombre and dramatic Shawshank Redemption. Presumably the marketing team took one look at the poster, saw an "excited" man standing in the rain with his arms extended outwards, and conjured up the title in the space of twenty-five seconds. Despite the fact that "excitement" has absolutely nothing to do with the film, we're even more confused about the 1995 that was added on the end: Shawshank came out in '94.
