Film would have been more popular with a better film title ?

Lawrence of the Hood

 

It was loosely based on The Wages of Fear, which would have been a better title, but Friedkin insisted for years it was a different movie and a different idea. No matter what the truck was called, "Sorcerer" was not a good name for the film.

 

SORCEROR is a good pick. I had seen it on TV as a child and been transfixed.

Years later when video rentals became a thing I couldn't remember the name and was never able to figure it out in those pre-IMDb days. I had to wait to stumble on it again on a cable channel.

 

The Star Chamber had some merit. I remember wanting to see it but it was "R" so of course I had to wait for cable.

Fresh Horses...yep bad title. It makes it seem like a pretty heavy drama. Nothing else can be derived from the title.
Likewise having a couple of breezy brat pack-ish actors playing seamingly heavy drama...well it didn't exactly have my contemporaries lining up for tickets. I've never seen it.

 

Definitely a new title would have helped "SORCEROR."

 

Yeah, right, Bill.

 

Ford V Ferrari

 

That's a Kurly - let go!

 

If it was delayed for 2 years they could try Hemp!

 

SORCERROR is even better.
(I didn't want to be mean to the OP, just couldn't resist).

 

Wurrly.

 

yea, right... hysterical!

 

Ringo agrees with you, the Monkees however changed the letters for themselves.
