What alternate title was used for the 1997 Mr. Bean film in the United States?

The 1997 Mr. Bean film was released in the United States as Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie.

In the United Kingdom and several other markets, the feature was promoted simply as Bean. The longer American title emphasized the character’s destructive comic reputation and helped distinguish the film from the television series.

The movie sends Mr. Bean from Britain to Los Angeles, where he is mistakenly treated as an art expert and becomes involved with Whistler’s Mother. Rowan Atkinson stars as Bean, with Peter MacNicol, Pamela Reed and Harris Yulin among the supporting cast.

The title is not the name of a separate sequel. It refers to the same 1997 feature film, whose international marketing varied by territory. This is why reference books may list either title.
