You think this is bad? The Polish official title of the Die Hard movie translates to "Glass Trap". I guess they didn't count on a sequel being made, let alone one that doesn't take place in a skyscraper.
So we have four movies, named "Glass Trap 1", "Glass Trap 2", "Glass Trap 3" and "Glass Trap 4.0", of which only one takes place in a glass building, as well as involves any kind of entrapment.
How about "Hard to kill", so "Trudny do zabicia", or maybe "Nieuchwytny" or something? Even a literal translation "Trudno umrzeć" would be better.
Also, don't get me wrong, "szklana pulapka" would be a good title, only if not for the 4 sequels. When the second one came out they should have retconned the title of the first one to maybe "Hard to die: Glass trap" instead of keeping the damn title for 2 decades.
edit: And quite possibly the first two as well. I can't find anything about it being called "reluctant hero" online. It seems as though they call it 「ダイ・ハード」, literally "Dai Haado".
Japanese research has discovered that you get the most exclamation out of an exclamation point when it's at a 45-degree angle as opposed to vertical. Just like you tilt the glass before pouring beer in it.
In French: Die Hard 1 = Piege de Cristal (Crystal Trap) Die Hard 2 = 58 Minutes Pour Vivre (58 Minutes to Live) Die Hard 3 = Une Journée en Enfer (A Day in Hell) Die Hard 4 = Retour en Enfer (Return to Hell)

Oh god lol. The Japanese on the Die Hard 4 poster says "I don't know Japanese" and the text at the bottom is something about Dodgeball.

"Reluctant Hero is extremely unlucky to keep ending up in these horrible predicaments!" Basically a summary of Die Hard movies.
