Have You Ever Wondered How The Spanish Dub Of The Bad Guys Changes The Names In Spanish?

 

  • The Bad Guys (2022) and The Bad Guys 2:
    • Diane Foxington to Diane Zorrento (Latin America only, Spain keeps her English name, a pun between "zorro" {fox} with the surname "Sorento"). Her nickname "The Scarlet Paw", became "La Garra Escarlata" (The Scarlet Claw) in Latin America, and "La Zarpa Escarlata" (literal translation) in Spain
    • Chief Luggins to Comandante Gruñez (Latin America, a portmanteau of "gruñir" {Growl) and the surname "Nuñez"). Spain keeps her English name.
    • Tiffany Fluffit to Tristina Chismera (book series; US English); Tiffany Chismera (Latin America, a portmanteau of "chisme" {Gossip} and the surname "Rivera") and Tiffany Peluchi (Spain, a a portmanteau of "peluche" {stuffed toy} with the Italian surname "Bellucci")
    • Pigtail to Jabalinda, (Latin America, a portmanteau of "jabali" {Warhog} and "linda" {cute girl}) and Jabalina (Spain, a pun between the already mentioned "Jabali" with "javalina" {javeline})
    • Doom to Sombra (Latin American and Spain, translated as "shadow")
