Stop re-dubbing these films with crap sound effects!


I despise it when they re-dub these kung-fu films and put in new 'realistic' sound effects. This sort of fight choreography needs big and over the top effects, not this slap on the wrist type sounds.

They did it with Iron Monkey too and almost ruined it as sometimes it doesn't even feel like people are being hit.

Re-dubbing the English dialogue is another pet hate of mine too. I know they do it to be less cheesy but the acting isn't much better in the new dubs but they've removed all traces of humour or charm. Best to just keep it in Chinese and have subs in the first place but those old VHS dubs were great fun.
