dispatch-a-roo

Everyone knows foreign translations of American movie titles are hilarious. Here are two recent discoveries:

(1) The Naked Gun, as I serendipitously learned this afternoon, translates to ¿Y Dónde Está La Policía?

(2) And best of all, Brokeback Mountain translates ominously to El Secreto En La Montaña. Secreto, of course, means secret. But it also bears a sublime resemblance to the verb secretar, meaning to secrete.
