This is when two or more works that have little or nothing to do with each other are given translated titles that imply a connection. Sometimes to capitalize on the first work's fame, but often just because it's funny, which may be an overlap with Pun-Based Title. This is only for titles that have been translated. When it affects the content of the original work, it's a Dolled-Up Installment, or just Dub Text. Subtrope of Completely Different Title. See also Similarly Named Works and In Name Only. Parallel Porn Titles may also arise from this trope. |

At one point Nintendo also planned to localize Tenchi Sozo, the unofficial third game in the Soul Blazer "series", under the title of Illusion of Gaia 2. The name was dropped before release and the game ended up being localized only in Europe and Australia under the name Terranigma, although the unused English title is still referenced in the game (despite the fact that the European version of Illusion of Gaia was titled Illusion of Time). | |

Fist of Fury, another Bruce Lee film, was retitled The Chinese Connection (after The French Connection) in English. The title (Chinese Connection) was actually intended for The Big Boss (since the plot of that film involved drug trafficking), but the American distributor messed up and ended up switching the titles for both films by mistake. | |

In French, Hikari Sentai Maskman and Choujuu Sentai Liveman became Bioman 2: Maskman and Bioman 3: Liveman respectively, due to the fact that Choudenshi Bioman was the first Super Sentai series to air there. While they're technically part of the same franchise, none of them are actually set in the same universe (later crossover appearances notwithstanding). Same with the Philippines (albeit in the commercials only), excluding Liveman, since that never aired there. Super Sentai is locally dubbed in Korean under the Power Rangers brand since Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger (which was dubbed under the name of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, not to be confused with the actual Power Rangers: Dino Thunder). Before Power Rangers began, dubbed versions of the 80s Sentai shows were aired in Korean starting with Dai Sentai Goggle Five, followed by every Sentai show between Choudenshi Bioman and Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, but then this was changed to Power Rangers dubs following Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers before switching back to Super Sentai dubs after the Korean dub of Power Rangers Wild Force ended. |

In Hebrew, Leslie Nielsen's comedies received the same treatment. The Naked Gun was named The Gun Died Laughing, and its sequels were named appropriately. Since then, other films would be translated as "The [something] Died Laughing"—Spy Hard was named The Spy Died Laughing, Wrongfully Accused, a parody of The Fugitive, was named The Fugitive Died Laughing, and 2001: A Space Travesty was named Space Died Laughing. This became even worse when later on spoof comedies that didn't star Leslie Nielsen got the same treatment - for example, George of the Jungle was named The Jungle Died Laughing, despite the fact that the cartoon was actually known and quite popular there at the time. |

The three SaGa games for the Game Boy were retitled Final Fantasy Legend in North American English, probably to capitalize on FF's fame (...before Final Fantasy VII, yes. Don't laugh...). Subverted with the original Seiken Densetsu, which was given the title Final Fantasy Adventure overseas. This may seem like an invention of the localization department, but in reality the full title of the original Game Boy game in Japanese was Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden and the game has a few Final Fantasy references (notably the presence of Chocobos). |

Commando (Capcom) and Bionic Commando were originally two unrelated arcade games titled Senj� no Ōkami (literally "Wolf of the Battlefield") and Top Secret respectively in Japanese. Capcom USA would try to justify the connection between the two by claiming that the protagonist in the latter was Super Joe after being given a bionic arm, which was really just a grappling hook attached to his regular arm. The later NES version of Bionic Commando would try to solidify the connection between the two games by having the actual Super Joe around as a supporting character helping out new protagonist Rad Spencer. Ironically, Mercs, which was the actual sequel to Commando (the Japanese title is Senj� no Ōkami II), was mainly treated as a different IP overseas and it wasn't until recent years that Capcom would try to tie Mercs into the Bionic Commando series by claiming that Super Joe was really just a codename for Joseph Gibson, the Player 1 character in Mercs, and even adding the subtitle "Wolf of the Battlefield" to the Wii Virtual Console release of the Genesis port of Mercs. | |

Kodansha translated the term Demi-chan (Demi-girls) into "Monster Girls" just to make a connection with the latter; it wouldn't even be a politically correct translation in-universe, since Demi-humans are humans, not monsters, despite having some monster traits. | |

American Dad!: American Dad is dubbed in Latin American Spanish under the title of Un agente de familia (An Agent of the Family). This is a play off Seth MacFarlane's other animated show Family Guy, which is dubbed in the same language dialect under the title Padre de familia (Father of the Family). Castilian Spanish follows the trope in a slightly different way. Family Guy is still known as Padre de familia, while +American Dad is Padre "Made in USA" ("Father 'Made in USA'", notice the English). In a stroke of luck, adding the padre part to the title of the first series actually helped them connect it to the second series. In Italian, Family Guy is called I Griffin (The Griffins) to match the title with The Simpsons and also with The Cosby Show (which is called I Robinson in Italy). |

The Italian name for Evil Dead is La Casa (the House). La Casa 2 is Evil Dead 2, fair enough. La Casa 3 was an unrelated Italian film released in the United States as "Ghost House". La Casa 4 and 5 were also unrelated Italian features called Witchery and Beyond the Darkness respectively in the States. La Casa 6 and 7 were House II: The Second Story and House III. So, that's at least 3 completely unrelated film series all jammed together as one! | |

Hokuto Musou was released as Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage outside Japan in lieu of the usual Warriors moniker that Koei uses to localize Musou titles (e.g. Samurai Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, Pirate Warriors) due to the French and Italian titles of the anime (Ken le survivant and Ken il guerriero). Since Koei was forced to use the English title for all the foreign releases of the game, they put Ken's name on the subtitle in order to help European fans of the anime make the connection who otherwise wouldn't recognize the Fist of the North Star brand. | |

Cartoon series starring Macaulay Culkin Wish Kid was translated in Latin American Spanish as Mi Pobre Angelito (My Poor Little Angel), which is the title given there to the Home Alone movies, thereby making it seem as if the series was a continuation of the movies even though (save obviously for the presence of Culkin) they're entirely unrelated. It was also called Perdido nas Estrelas (Lost in the Stars) in Brazilian Portuguese, which could also be seen as a Home Alone allusion. | |

Do yourself a favor and do not, under any circumstances, play a drinking game of how many comedy films have been retitled in Latin American Spanish as "Crazy" something (ex. Police Academy as "Crazy Police Academy" and RV as "Crazy Vacation on Wheels"). You will drop dead. | |

In Castilian Spanish, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is known as Mystery In Space (Misterio En El Espacio), in an attempt to tie it into Lost in Space which is known as Perdidos En El Espacio. It went so far as Spanish commercials claiming that Joel was the long lost member of The Robinsons. | |

For unclear reasons, *batteries not included was renamed to the equivalent of "Miracle on 8th Street"—which sounds just like Miracle on 34th Street—in just about every language where it was released, including French (Miracolo sull'8° strada), German (Das Wunder in der 8. Straße), Latin American Spanish (Milagro en la calle 8), Korean (8-beongaui Gijeok), Italian (Miracolo sull'8ª strada), and Japanese (New York Higashi 8-bangai no Kiseki). | |

Kunio-kun: Later games in the series are localized under the River City branding (e.g. River City Soccer Hooligans, River City Sports Challenge) in the west since the Nintendo DS entries, despite the series no longer receiving the same Americanization treatment that the original River City Ransom received during its localization. Likewise, the Canadian-produced sequel River City Ransom: Underground became Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari Underground for its Japanese localization. The Game Boy Advance game Bakunetsu Dodgeball Fighters was a spiritual sequel to the arcade/Famicom game Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club starring expies of the Downtown Nekketsu cast, since the developers didn't have the rights to the Kunio-kun IP at the time. When the game was localized in North America, it was retitled Super Dodge Ball Advance (after the English version of its predecessor) with most of the same character names used for the prior localization of the NES version (e.g. Rajiv, Boris, Sam). Shin Nekketsu Kouha: Kunio-tachi no Banka was brought overseas (almost two decades late) as River City Girls Zero, inspired by the success of River City Girls. While the game does feature Misako and Kyoko, the main characters of River City Girls, in prominent roles, Shin Nekketsu Kouha is focused on Kunio and Riki like other games in the series, so the international title is somewhat misleading. |

In Castilian Spanish, Bewitched was titled Embrujada and Charmed was Embrujadas. Note the extra "s". And neither was 100% accurate (But acceptable, this trope aside). Same in Mexican Spanish. Bewitched is known as "Hechizada" and Charmed as "Hechiceras". In Finnish, Bewitched is known as Vaimoni on noita ("My Wife Is a Witch") and Charmed as Siskoni on noita ("My Sister Is a Witch"). |

Leslie Nielsen's movies also had this happen in Japanese. The Naked Gun was known as The Man With the Naked Gun, a parody of the Bond movie title in Japanese as well as in English. Wrongfully Accused became The Fugitive With the Naked Gun, Men with Brooms (a curling movie) was The Man With the Naked Stone, and even his earlier movies were renamed on video, so that 1990’s Repossessed became The Man With the Naked Crucifix! Japanese translators went on to rename S.P.Q.R. 2000 e 1/2 Anni Fa (an Italian film that he starred in) to Leslie Nielsen: The Naked Roman Empire, and Santa Who? to Leslie Nielsen: The Naked Santa Claus. | |

In a more conventional example of this trope, the English version of Illusion of Gaia was originally planned to be released in North America as a sequel to SoulBlazer before switching publishers from Enix to Nintendo. While they were developed by the same company (Quintet), the two games are vaguely connected at best, with the most obvious connection being the first boss of Soul Blazer making a cameo appearance as the Superboss of Illusion of Gaia. | |

The Zombi movies get even worse. Zombi is the Italian name for Dawn of the Dead (1978). Zombi 2 (1979) is an unrelated Lucio Fulci movie. Zombi 3D (Zombi 3 1984) was at least done by Fulci until he got replaced. But, at least five other completely unrelated movies released before it were also called some variation of Zombi 3. It gets so ridiculous that the Spanish movie Vengeance of the Zombies (1973) (La rebelión de las muertas) is also distributed as BOTH Zombi 5 and Zombi 9. Oh, and another name for Beyond the Darkness above? Zombi 10. | |

Return of the Dragon was originally called Way of the Dragon when it was produced in Hong Kong. Enter the Dragon was actually Bruce Lee's last complete film, but the retitling of Way of the Dragon was a means of capitalizing on Bruce Lee's fame and releasing the earlier film to a wider audience. All this despite the obviously higher budget of Enter the Dragon (being a Hollywood/Hong Kong joint studio venture), not to mention the fact that Lee's characters in the two films are obviously not the same person (in name OR in personality), and thus neither film was actually a sequel to the other. | |

The Konami arcade game Jackal was first released in North America under the title of Top Gunner, as a possible nod to the movie Top Gun. When it was ported to the NES, they went to back to the original Jackal naming used in other languages, likely to avoid confusion with their own Top Gun video game for the NES. | |

In Finnish, ER is known as Teho-osasto or intensive care unit. Scrubs in turn became Tuho-osasto or loosely translated destructive care unit. Similar thing happened in Italian: ER got the subtitle Medici in prima linea, or Medics on the frontline, while Scrubs is subtitled Medici ai primi ferri, which means Rookie medics. |

In Brazilian Portuguese, Codename: Kids Next Door is known as "A Turma do Bairro" (literally "the Gang of the Neighborhood", both the show's name and the name of the organization), which caused some to associate it with the popular Brazilian comic book franchise, "Turma da Mônica", to the point that the latter occasionally shows up in Google search results if you search for the former. Which must be why the "KND" acronym is put before the title, even though it's never used in the show itself in the dub since the organization doesn't have the same name. | |

Shark Tale was translated into Russian as "Underwater Gang" (using "gang" in the criminal sense). This makes some sense, as the sharks do behave like Italian mobsters. Then there's Over the Hedge, which has nothing to do with organized crime, which was translated as "Forest Gang", obviously implying a connection between the two films. | |

High School High has been given a title that alludes to Dangerous Minds in a few countries. In Portugal, it has been retitled Mentes Pirosas, meaning "Tacky Minds", a pun on Mentes Perigosas, the literal translation of "Dangerous Minds" and the Portuguese title of that film. In Italy, it has been renamed Pensieri spericolati ("Reckless Thoughts"), a reference to the Italian title of Dangerous Minds which was Pensieri pericolosi ("Dangerous Thoughts"). |

Illusion of Gaia was originally titled Gaia Gensouki (or "The Gaia Fantasy Chronicle") in Japanese. While the English title is a rough approximation of the Japanese original, when Nintendo of America picked up the publishing rights from Enix's US division, they also redesigned the logo and boxart to resemble the one used for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Specifically they both have the same stylized font and layout, with the names "Zelda" and "Gaia" spelled in larger letters below the rest of the title and an object (Link's shield or the Earth itself) behind the first letter. In a more conventional example of this trope, the English version of Illusion of Gaia was originally planned to be released in North America as a sequel to SoulBlazer before switching publishers from Enix to Nintendo. While they were developed by the same company (Quintet), the two games are vaguely connected at best, with the most obvious connection being the first boss of Soul Blazer making a cameo appearance as the Superboss of Illusion of Gaia. At one point Nintendo also planned to localize Tenchi Sozo, the unofficial third game in the Soul Blazer "series", under the title of Illusion of Gaia 2. The name was dropped before release and the game ended up being localized only in Europe and Australia under the name Terranigma, although the unused English title is still referenced in the game (despite the fact that the European version of Illusion of Gaia was titled Illusion of Time). |

While the original Kinnikuman manga and anime were never adapted to English, the tie-in rubber figure toyline by Bandai were imported to the U.S. by Mattel under the name of M.U.S.C.L.E., which stood for "Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere". When 4Kids and Viz picked up the rights to the Kinnikuman sequel series, Kinnikuman Nisei, they went with the name Ultimate Muscle to invoke a connection with Mattel's toyline, although the "Muscle" in Ultimate Muscle is just a word and not an acronym for anything. Mattel still holds the rights to the M.U.S.C.L.E. trademark, but now produces rubber figures based on other properties, such as He-Man and Street Sharks. | |
