The Worst English Dub in the Showa Series

[Rockzilla]

The Frontier dub of Godzilla vs. The Sea monster is the worst one IMO. I wasn't very fond of the international Son of Godzilla dub either. Was that one done by Frontier also?

[Goji]

^ Yes indeed, it was.

The dub for the Space Amoeba is actually funny as hell!

check it out, the dub is literally the funniest thing I've heard in 4 months!

[Goji]

SPACE AMOEBA definitely features a Hong Kong dub (most likely by Axis International). It's a lot of fun.

I know somebody is going to grill me for saying this...but, here it goes:

Godzilla vs. Mothra!

How? The line deliveries.

Example #1: Mothra's egg hatches, and out emerges 2 Mothra larvae; the lead actress delivers the line 'look, there are 2.' In my opinion, that line could have been delivered better.

Example #2: The newspaper editor in chief; how he delivers the lines feels grating at best.

There are a few examples in the movie that are currently not available to me in my short-term memory (I'm typing this post at work with no access to my movies), I'll post a follow-up once more comes to mind. Also, there are other movies in the Godzilla franchise that could also contribute to this thread; I'll get back to those later.

I do recall watching this movie for the first time in 1991, but it wasn't until 9 years ago where I started recognizing key actors who've played roles in various Godzilla films. In this movie, the editor in chief's actor I recognized as the JSDF general from King Kong vs. Godzilla. Seeing his face, I had half-expected to hear the same voice from KKvG, but knowing that this was merely a voice-acting issue, I felt disheartened. But this viewpoint of mine has, in no way, any sort of connection to this thread whatsoever (just thought I'd throw that out as a disclaimer).

The sad part is that I've only seen the infamous ADV version of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. The line "I'm tired" always cracks me up.

Example #2: The newspaper editor in chief; how he delivers the lines feels grating at best.

"Now you're just talking like a rank amateur"

See what I mean?

That is a truly horrible dub.

[Patrick Alan]

DAM
"Remember that typhoon?"

[Tamura]

"Remember that typhoon?"

What is wrong with this line, in particular?

[Patrick Alan]

It sounds random, I don't like it. Does anyone like it

[Goji]

How does it "sound random"? That doesn't even make sense..

[Patrick Alan]

Of coarse it doesn't make sense to you^

Well, in the Japanese version he's actually talking about the monsters (Like he should)
But in the dub, he talks about a typhoon.

[Goji]

*edit* Meh..

[Patrick Alan]

Nice insult Goji

And I think I'd know what we're discussing in this thread ( you know, since I'm the author of it! ) so don't tell me what we are and are not discussing!

[Tyler]

It sounds a bit odd because he's insinuating we know about the storm when we don't. At least that's how I see it.

yeah sorry about that, Goji posted a reply and insulted me, but he/she must have deleted it....

Goji's deleted messege was about my post about me saying I didn't like that scene in DAM saying "Remember that Typhoon?"

Saying that it didn't make sense for me not to like it.

And then ranting on that this wasn't the right thread for my comment, that this thread was only for the dubs that "sound" horrible, then calling me the "stupidest mother skreeeeeonk around here!"

But like I said, I think I know good and well what this thread is about, sense I made it....

[Goji]

Nice insult Goji

You said the "line sounds random". How does something sound random? Explain that to me, please. The subject matter, is random, that has nothing to do with how it sounds.

Man, you really like the smiley huh? I really wish I had more reasons to use around these parts. It really is one of the best smileys. I mean, just look at it- . Isn't it fantastic? There are plenty of instances where would be appropriate on this forum...but the problem is, over-usage of shows how terrible you are at coming up with something constructive to say.

I still fail to see why your initial response said " of course I wouldn't understand it". I'm not the one who's borderline retarded.

Comparing monster attacks to typhoons makes sense. Just look at any area that was hit by a hurricane/tornado and you'll find much familiar imagery.
