The Chinese Name For Guardians Of The Galaxy Is Amazing

It’s OK, everyone can stop looking now – the finest translated name for a movie in the history of the movie industry has been found.

Presenting the Chinese name for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, then…

It’s…… ‘Interplanetary Unusual Attacking Team’.

Yes, it’s a bit on the literal side, but as descriptions go, there’s likely to be no confusion in the foyer at the multiplex.

Director James Gunn let fans know the new – and let’s face it, better – name for his movie on Twitter.

But some fans, mainly on Reddit, have called into question the full accuracy of the translation.

Some are saying that ‘星際異攻隊’ is the Taiwanese and not the Chinese title, while others have said that the literal translation is more like ‘Interstellar Special Ability Team’ (excellent) or ‘Interstellar Different Commandos’ (possibly even better).

It is, of course, far from the first time that translated movie names have turned out hilarious.
