Title changed in South Korea

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2007)

I noticed today that the movie has been released here in South Korea as "Double Target."
This confused me at first, since "Double Target" is a bit harder for a Korean to say than "Shooter," but then I remembered the recent mass murder shooting incident in Virginia.
Koreans are a bit sensitive about that, as if it were somehow their fault that the shooter happened to be born here.
Of course, the last thing anyone wants to be reminded of just before going out to see a movie on Saturday is a recent tragedy. Good work by the marketing guys.
Off the top of my head I can only think of one other major Hollywood film that had its name changed here, that was "The Rundown," which became "Welcome to the Jungle," (because "Rundown" made no sense?) Oh! And "Gigli" became "Gangster Love."
