    Brazilian translation studios have a fair bit of those:

    Portuguese Literal translation Original title
    O Poderoso Chefão The Powerful Big Boss The Godfather
    A Noviça Rebelde The Rebellious Novice The Sound of Music
    Noivo Neurótico, Noiva Nervosa Neurotic Fiancé, Nervous Fiancée Annie Hall
    O Tiro Que Não Saiu Pela Culatra The Shot that Didn’t Backfire Parenthood

    Those four are representative examples because they don’t just adapt the original title; they do it without regard of what the original title is conveying, just to throw it into a “this is a movie title!” template.
