One of the first memes of its generation: I also remember tracking down a copy of 'The Pope Must Diet' from Video Update after it took FOREVER to find in the states. The Pope Must Diet is one of the most ludicrous name-changes ever to a film title. I obviously understand why the original title is a bit sensitive but the main plot of the film is people trying to assassinate the Pope, so changing “die” to “diet” makes zero sense.

The funny thing is they could of remained it something like “Operation: Vatican” or something… but they got really cheap and they just added a T to the title. I picture some intern at a films distributer warehouse with hundreds of already printed film posters spending the night adding a “t” (lower case so it looks like a crucifix) with a sharpie.

Let's not forget that he unintentionally convinced Ebenezer Blackadder that bad guys have all the fun.
