Jim and etsija - thank you for those compilations, they make for interesting reading and comparisons. Jim, it must have taken you a while to color code those translations.

Jay, it did take a while, but it seemed the best way to compare side-by-side.

Thanks again, etsija, for adding to the list! I've added your contributions to the color coded list above.

Good work both, it certainly makes fascinating reading

I didn't find a full filmography in Russian - Senta would probably know better? - but what I found, the titles are usually very faithful to the originals. Here are a few that differ a bit

Самый меткий, The Shootist - Best on target
По методу Харма, In Harm's Way – In the way of Harm (as understood that Harm is a name)
Война на Диком Западе, How the West Was Won – War in the Wild West
К северу от Аляски, North to Alaska – North from Alaska
Кавалеристы, The Horse Soldiers – The Cavaliers
Снова вместе в Париже / Reunion in France – Together again in Paris

Негодяи / The Spoilers – The Scoundrels

В седле / Tall in the Saddle – In the Saddle

Горящий полет / Flying Leathernecks – Hot flight

Some of the translated titles seem silly or not on point. But the saying goes, "It loses something in translation."

It seems logical to have this fascinating thread,
in the Movie section, where it will remain prominant,
so I have moved it over there!

Thanks everybody, To me It's very interesting and JW movies were
loved by all of the world,i feel deeply.
