Member klepto Posted January 13, 2010 Member Share Posted January 13, 2010 <rant> There's nothing worse than having to suffer through an bad english dub because the subbed version is out of print. The characters change in my mind due to them sounding like Monty Python twits or they sound like some guy who has never crossed the Mason-Dixon line. Bad timing dubs are even worse. I don't want to see movie titles like "The Cheeky Chap" or "Wu Tang Killa Beez Vol 38" anymore. Are some of these actors turning in their graves? We can translate the original movie title without turning it into something it isn't. Although I didn't complain at all when kung fu theatre was on the USA network in the states. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yang Wu Liang Posted January 14, 2010 Member Share Posted January 14, 2010 The thorny subs / dub debate... personally I love a classic dub but given the choice I'd choose subtitles especially for wuxia which is what I watch most. Ironically you've got the best / worst dubbed character in history on your avatar!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member klepto Posted January 14, 2010 Author Member Share Posted January 14, 2010 Keep watching that avatar, Carter Wong will hypnotize you. I am sure Carter would kick the crap out of those people who ruined his movies with pathetic voice actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted January 14, 2010 Member Share Posted January 14, 2010 You mean Triumph of Two Kung Fu Arts? The word triumph should be replaced by failure. Then it would be a good title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
