That's hilarious!

Watching this now. Just as he delivers that line, my kid walks into the room and gives me this look. Oy. Overall this movie is terrible so far. Terrible dubbing, lackluster performances, poor editing, you name it. Even Lo Lieh can’t save this dog.

I laughed pretty hard. I didn't expect that one.

I don't recall watching this one, but I do relate to your situation and the bad timing of the ladies in our lives. Early on in my relationship with my now wife, I was watching the first Lone Wolf and Cub movie, and my wife's friend (who didn't know me well) was over visiting and they were hanging out in the kitchen. At some point, her friend walked in saying "This music is so interesting, I just had to peek at what you're watching." just as they showed an enormous close-up of the little Cub's hand flicking a woman's nipple. Her face turned red, and she exclaimed "Oh!" and was gone before I could explain. So she thought I was sitting ten feet away from my wife and her company watching a porno in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Ugh. Fortunately, she is very cool and I explained what I was actually watching and she was so intrigued I lent it to her. She wound up digging it and quickly borrowed and watched all six of the movies!

Can anyone tell me if Snake in the Eagles Shadow English dub (don't know which one) has a line near the end of the movie that goes something like - "Ho? Miss Ho?! Who you callin Ho!?

I swear it does but I don't which version it is (if it exists).

Wow, that line is something else:

"Miss Ho" is said a few times in the second dub for Drunken Master?:

   

There might be more, and there may have been something similar in the first dub?

D'oh yeah I meant Drunken Master.

I may of misheard it or made my own dub up in my head.

Thanks for the vids.

Ghostface to Jack Long: "I don't want her, I want you! My god, and how!"

7 Grandmasters 

Main bad guy: "Why don't you KILLHIM? Why don't you KILLHIM?" (text doesn't really do it justice, some of the goofiest line delivery of all time)
 

[Omni Dragon]

To me the delivery of the "holy cow..." line, in the Fortune Star dub of Knockabout, sounds the most anime dub like style of delivery, I've heard in a kung fu movie:

BRUCE LEE FIGHTS BACK FROM THE GRAVE

 

Wong: "A sudden change of fortune is in the scheme of things."

Officer: "God damn you!"

From FOUR INFERNOS TO CROSS:

A gang of crooks are introducing themselves, and one tough customer speaks up:

"You know why I'm called Storm? Because I plot up a storm wherever I go. I love to cause CHAOS!

... and panic, as well "

The guy just sounds so smug, it's hilarious.

And later, one guy to another, apropos of nothing:

"Damn! That girl's a sexy bitch!"

From Crimson Bat, the Blind Swordswoman:

In that scene, I weirdly also like the music and the weapon and, I feel like @Chorake might like the timing of the cue marks.

"Miss Ho" is indeed in the classic dub as well.  The scripts are quite similar as I recall, even down to the changed character names.  I'm really not sure why they even made a second dub if it wasn't going to be more faithful.

I'm not really keen on modern dubs (even if said dub is now 20 years old!) but this one from the HKL DVD of ODD COUPLE made me laugh

Old Sammo: That knife's no good. It's for melons, not people!

Young Lau Kar-wing: It's not your business!

Old Sammo: Humph, ungrateful turd!
