The Chinese especially can be hilariously literal with their titles.

Some highlights:

Babe - "The Happy Dumpling-To-Be Who Talks and Solves Agricultural Problem".

Batman & Robin - "Come to My Cave and Wear this Rubber Codpiece, Cute Boy"

Field of Dreams - "Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield"

Barb Wire - "Delicate Orbs of Womanhood Bigger Than Your Head Can Hurt You"

So what would "Attack of the Killer Tomatos" translate to?

Follow-up: I did some research, and most of the more outlandish titles are rubbish. They're from a comedy website that ran them back in '98. They've just been re-run so many times by other sites, that people have taken them for real.
