Thread: Name movies that would be farcical or clumsy to dub into Thai...

Use whatever criteria suits you...

Beetlejuice
Big Mama's House
Dumb & Dumber
The Crying Game
Pink Flamingos
This Is Spinal Tap
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Brokeback Mountain
Passion of the Christ
The Shawshank Redemption

Any comedy that had verbal gags.
Trains potting.

I disgree about the comedies, Thais loves them judging by the Missus and her mates, anything like Dumb and Dumber is a hit with those dopey fukkers

Download this for your Missus and tell me she didn't laugh

The Thai's have gone so far as dubbing silent movies such as Charlie Chaplin.

^It's the same 3 Thai people that have dubbed foreign films for about 50 years?

Man with over-polite / comedic speaking voice. Simpering, breathless female. Old person. From Shakespeare to fucking Transformers, its the same three people doing the voices.

Any WW2 movie involving the Gestapo.

Would love to here "We have ways of making you talk" dubbed into Thai.

Deep Throat with Linda Lovelace and Johnny Wad...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

simply cos its so ffg long

Borat.

'Planet of the Apes'

That's Allo Allo

Pulp Fiction . . . simply no way to get the fantastic turns of phrase into another language so effectively . . . the 'banal' discussions etc. . .

Look at that, accident black spot! These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road glady! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness! Throw yourself into the road, darling! You haven't got a chance!

Not so much a liguistic translation, but a trans-cultural one.
Really doesn't fit.

I see that on 'Youtube'. I don't know how they got around the censors?

24 Charlie Chaplin videos are also on the censorship lists.

Is Emmanualle banned?

Thanks for that - interesting

That does sound - I don't know is cute is the right word - cute in a weird way

Ah, she speaks as little Thai as I do

Believe me when you hear Robocop doing his best "sawat-dii khrap" you know the dubbing is missing something.

Name movies that would be farcical or clumsy to dub into Thai..

The King and I

^The King and I? I thought it was a face saving thing, which was why it was banned, because it was true, I heard?

Also, funny someone mentioned 'Borat'...I bought a DVD copy of 'Bruno' for about B29 at BigC and watched it dubbed into Thai with the wifey. It was a bizarre spectacle to say the least.

how about:

Boyz In the Hood
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
The English Patient
Braveheart
A Clockwork Orange
The Birdcage
Natural Born Killers
The Cell
Friday

and I'd love to see 2001: A Space Odyssey and have HAL 9000 deliver this line in Thai (or maybe Isaan)
