Talk:Encino Man

Untitled
Don't know what names it had in countries other than USA and UK. Anyone who does know should replace 'released in the UK as' with 'released internationally as'. I was just looking through an old magazine, saw 'Encino Man' advertised, figured out what film it actually was and came here to try to find out what an 'encino' was. sheridan 02:45, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

US original title
I know for sure that years ago here in the USA I saw ads for the movie with a different title. In other words, Encino Man is not the movie's original US title. I remember seeing the different title in an ad on the side of a bus. Does anyone remember the original title or at least seeing ads with a different title? 24.118.99.41 06:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've never seen any advertising of this movie under a different name - just Encino Man. Are you sure it was for this movie, and not any other Pauly Shore/Brendan Fraser movies? RAndersen 09:27, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

'California Man'?
This movie has gone by the name 'Encino Man' when it's been shown on TV in Australia, but I'm not sure about its theatrical release title... -Nova Prime 13:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The Australian theatrical and VHS releases were also 'Encino Man'. I saw it in its original theatrical run and rented it on VHS a year or so later. You can verify this with an OFLC search, which has no record of 'California Man' and two records for 'Encino Man'. 203.217.32.251 14:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It was called "California Man" for European release because the only reason for most Europeans (and Australians for that matter) to have any idea that Encino even exists, never mind where it is, is from "The Karate Kid"('84)Angry Mustelid (talk) 05:16, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Any connection to ERB?
Is there any connection between the choice of Encino and the fact that Edgar Rice Burroughs lived there? I vaguely remember the movie and think it has rough parallels to Burroughs's 1925 (non-comedic) book The Eternal Lover.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 05:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Dude, this movie has no connection to ER, and if ERB were alive today he would hunt down Pauly Shore and kick him in the balls with a steel toed shoe; this movie makes babies cry, women faint and men question their sexuality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.102.104.9 (talk) 14:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Possible relation with French movie Hibernatus
Hibernatus is a 1969 French comedy where a man is found frozen in North pole and brought back to life 65 years later. It's as far as it gets as for similarities, the French version is more about the clashes within the family of the thawed man but could the Encino Man writer have been inspired somehow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.145.221.1 (talk) 08:53, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
