Funniest/Strangest "Working Titles"

Something a little light hearted. I changed the working title of my short from "Making Faces" to "Showing Face" which isn't all that humourous, but it got me thinking of working titles, and there must be some doozies out there. Lucas used "Blue Harvest" as the title for one of the Star Wars films-just wonder what titles you've seen (or maybe even worked under!) for any type of project?
 
Lucas used "Blue Harvest" as the title for one of the Star Wars films

I'm sure everyone knows but I'm gonna state the obvious anyway.

The working title was "Revenge of the Jedi". LucasFilm used "Blue Harvest"
when shooting in the states so the locals wouldn't jack up the prices and
so the media wouldn't swarm the locations. I still have my crew hat and
jacked and even call sheets with "Blue Harvest". I was offered $10,000
for the jacket once.
 
One of the first films I made was called "The Rise of the Rapture Bunny." It's about a bunny who flies with a blue cape on, grabbing people on the head with a toilet plunger and rapturing them. It was fun.
 
Am I seriously going to be the only person to say this?

OMG!! You worked on Return of the Jedi?!!?!!?!? THAT'S SO COOL!!!!!

That's awesome! (Thanks for correcting me on that)

Did you get to hobnob with Mr. Lucas?

And yes, anything with "Blue Harvest" on it goes for mucho dollars among Star Wars fans.


Josiah: Rise of the Rapture Bunny"? WOW, that sounds like a pretty surreal film! :D
 
It was crazy. We had a lot of fun making it: throwing in blood, swinging a fake bunny around on fishing line. . . yeah, it was great.
 
Well, the original title for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was "The Saucer Men from Mars".
