most horrible dub i've ever heard


i am not a native english speaker, but i had to watch the english version,
cause i haven't found any other version.

the english is quite easy to understand but the speakers have done a horrible(!) job.
the pronunciation was great though,
but it was just like they have recorded 1 word after another and then put them together.

they are talking like robots! ^_^

its somehow unintentionally funny, but really hard to follow because of it
(not because of the vocabulary which they have used, because of the flow - or better: the not existing flow.
there was no melody and no accentuation of the words)

i also added english subtitles, i ve found in the web,
just to make it easier for me,
but text and speech were not the same.
mostly they were similar, but just in a very abstract way,
sometimes they even had completely different sentences.

f.ex. he is pointing on a shield where obviously some dishes were listed.
he said "i am hungry" and the subs said "i want this"

i don't know if there exist more than 1 dubbed version,
but i would recommend not to watch it that way.

i hope its better with subtitles and mandarin.

One example of a great dialogue:

someone is accused of murder and he shall go with the police men.
he is innocent.

you have to read it with a roboter voice of the 60s.

A: "No - sorry - don't trust the court - or the judge [...]

B: "Now - look - we are good friends - take my word - go with them - and help them - i promise - you will be all right - see you soon."

A: "right! For you - i will go then".

so lets be honest,
this film shouldn't be taken serious in just one minute.
and if someone is looking for a real good movie,
someone has to say that this is trash.
its cheesy, more than a usual James Bond movie, much more(!),
but it has a quite interesting trashy story
and you can have a lot of fun with it
if you like to have fun with bad movies.

the fights are sometimes nice sometimes naive.
