'Hero' or 'Accidental hero'

this movie - Which I like so much - has 2 names "Hero" and "Accidental Hero", I think that "Hero" is the right name because "Bernie" was a real Hero, he goes intentionally to the broken plane which is in fire and saved the people and go inside and bring some more on his shoulders intentionally and he nows the risk, so he wasn't an "accidental hero" at all, this second name is so unfair, because accidental hero is someone who do something UNINTENTIONALLY and accidentally it turns out to be a heroic action..

The plane crushing before him is dramatic and accidental to Bernie. He was unwilling to ruin his shoes just because he has to force open the plane door. All what he does later was the consequence for his "kindness", so be a hero, in an accidental manner.

I prefer Accidental Hero, as originally entitled.

I think it was called Hero in the US and Accidental Hero internationally after it tanked in the US.

Its that man again!!

Yes, it was simply Hero in the U.S. I went to see it in theaters in the fall of 1992 -- I became obsessed with Geena Davis that summer after seeing A League of Their Own (also in theaters) and catching Thelma & Louise on cable -- and it was titled Hero.

The Danish title is "Den Forkerte Helt", which means "The Wrong Hero". I think that's a good title for the movie and pretty much covers the plot :-D

Just saw it on TV in Australia and it was still called "Accidental Hero", which it's always been called here and which I personally prefer.

I watched it today and in the UK it was called Accidental Hero, at least on the information but when the movie started it just said Hero.

real human being and a real hero
