When I was a kid, most of my friends referred to STAR TREK as STAR "TRACK."  Even as a kid, this annoyed the hell out of me.

Here are some other titles people have either mispronounced or otherwise messed up (many occurred when I was working in a video rental store in the 1980s and people came in or called looking for certain movies - - others I either overheard or someone mentioned them to me during conversations):

* TOUGH TURK 182 (Not sure if the guy was looking for TUFF TURF or TURK 182)
* A - MAID - E - USS (The guy wanted to rent AMADEUS)
* SENSE OF A WOMAN (Close, but no cigar - SCENT OF A WOMAN)
* RANBO (Actually, several people mispronounced RAMBO by using an "N" instead of an "M")
* ERASURE (That Arnold Schwarzenegger classic)

And, not to make fun of my mom, but she refers to robots as ROBARTS and she refers to an escape as an EXCAPE.

I, however, am perfect . . .
