Foreign Dubbing

[shukocarl]

Here's one for you:

When our favourite Fu films started to be exported to the west...who did the dubbing? It's obvious the English versions were done in-house but what about the German, Italian, Spanish etc?

Were they dubbed in the country they were destined for? I can't think that local HK/Taiwan companies could pull off such foreign dubs.

Some nice links there but not really relevant to the overseas dubbing, I wondered how difficult the European (non-English) dubbers  translated and dubbed the films.

Yes, they were dubbed in their respective (European) countries.

Most of the Italian Westerns were dubbed in Italy, though MGM did their own dubs for the Dollar's Trilogy, as far as I know. I cant comment on Duck You Sucker or Once Upon Time in The West though, it's been along tie since I watched those one's. In the U.S they have times dubbed english language flicks, suchs as Mad Max, even going as far as adding american muscle car engines, over the care chase scenes.
