So, I've seen Plant 51 written instead of Planet 51 more than once ... though I'm assuming it's not an intentional change of the title.

Ugh, to hear that there is probably MS Word spell check for the machines that print film titles too [Roll Eyes]

If you're responding to my post specifically, the Plant 51 to which I was referring was handwritten in marker on a piece of tape on the tail...

I remember, back in the 80's, the theatre owner answering a phone inquiry of what's playing with "Gonad, The Barbarian" (Conan, the Barbarian) Governor Arnold probably wouldn't have appreciated it much then.

Well, this wasn't labeled on the film tail, but it was sort of funny that two customers (elderly ladies, not that that really matters) were discussing our current crop of films, one asked the other what "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" was about and the other laughed and looked taken aback ... eventually she explained that she initially heard it as "Diarrhea - Wimpy Kid".

The Little Spermaid = The Little Mermaid
Blast From My Ass = Blast From the Past
Megadeth at a Funeral = Death at a Funeral

Has anyone else caught themselves almost repeating their tail label creations when talking to customers about the movie?
