Funny to see that Taco Bell logo, in European version it was replaced by Pizza Hut logo :)

Haha, yeah- the joke was that Taco Bell is a cheap and tacky place. They're not the cleanest fast food joints I've been to either. I know you guys don't have Taco Bell in Europe, well at least back when the movie came out.

Yes, here that name is completely unknown. I do not think that even now we have these, at least in Belgium.

I disagree with you, antp. The name "Taco Bell" is known for all who watch Hollywood production :D

On tv yesterday. They say 'Pizza Hut' but Dutch subtitles say 'Taco Bell'.
:think:
Why is that?

Because Pizza hut is known in Europe and Taco Bell not? See the comments above..

I've never seen a Taco Bell in Britain or Europe. We only have the biggest American franchises like McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, Pizza Hut and TGI Friday's. All these other American fast food chains, Carl's Jr, Wendy's, Arby's, Jack in the Box, most of us across the Atlantic have never heard of them (except those of us who have visited the USA).

Although I don't see why they had to change the logo for this one little in-joke, if us Brits and Europeans don't get it, it's our loss. I mean I don't like it whenever they have to Americanize things in films and TV shows from Britain and Europe, so it's no better when things like this are changed for "our benefit".

Yes, but the producers were being paid to show the logos. It's not for "our" benefit but for Pizza Hut's.

Yes, but Sandra Bullock and Sylvester Stallone say 'Pizza Hut', the Dutch subtitle company prints 'Taco Bell' on the screen...Why not use PH then?

It's a simple mistake. The translation was probably done from the script and not checked against the version of the film delivered to the Netherlands distributor.
