[ERRATUM: The Japanese title of the correct-response film was simply the English title transliterated into katakana. Jeopardy!'s researchers were fooled by a debunked spoof. The spoof title appeared in an article with a number of similar spoofs on TopFive.com in August 1998. A 1998-12-04 Washington Post article entitled "Titles Too Bad To Be True" debunked the spoof titles.]
