English title

So whats the most common or even official English title? The article suggests that "One on Top of the Other is a translated title, or is it better known as Perversion Story? Was it ever officially released as One on Top of the Other, or not? Not sure if the page should have been moved on this case. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:54, 5 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm not convinced it should have been moved without a discussion but I can look into what the majority of sources actually use. GRAPPLE X 15:48, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hello, what was eventually your finding? Posters in English show only Perversion Story, and DVD versions seem to have adopted only that title, but the archived bfs only mentions One on top of .... — MY, OH, MY! 15:38, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

₤869,000,000 gross almost certainly incorrect

This claim is absolutely incredible, regardless of what Albiero & Cacciatore (2004) says. This would place it among the List_of_highest-grossing_films: clearly this is not the case for a low budget genre film with limited international distribution. If a contributor is willing to defend this figure, It needs to be added to the list of highest-grossing films (good luck). --MrLukeDevlin (talk) 15:02, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

You realise that this is a figure given in Italian lira, don't you? It's hard to compare that to a modern figure since the lira is no longer in use but when it was replaced with the euro, this would have equated to about half a mission euro, which is quite far from being one of the highest grossing films ever.

Ah OK, that makes a lot more sense. I didn't know that the £ symbol is used for both UK pounds and the withdrawn Italian lira- I understood it in the more commonly used sense. Thanks --MrLukeDevlin (talk) 16:21, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
The £ symbol with one bar is for pounds; the ₤ for lira has two. There is a link in symbol too to clarify things further. GRAPPLE X 17:22, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

In English, the symbol is "L." which also appeared on many Italian coins. Grassynoel (talk) 17:39, 30 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
