+ 1. Les 400 coups = 400 blows (the lamest translation of a title ever).

I agree with The Breakfast Club and Heathers as well as Fast Times. All excellent choices.

My wife's favorite. Anytime I lose a bet to her she follows me around the house repeating that damn line.

I'm not sure but I'll ask my mother; she is a professional translator. 400 blows is a too literal translation that doesn't convey the mischievous meaning of the French term imo.

"Faire les 400 coups" is a French idiom which means to raise hell, to be wild and undisciplined
