DragonBall Z Movie 8 "Engrish" dub?

Post by Izlude » Wed Aug 04, 2004 11:16 pm

I've had this for a long time which I just re-discovered, but there is this version of Movie 8 that was dubbed into english (or rather engrish!) and it just sounds so heavily accented, and its quite funny! Only thing is, there is no credits at the end of the movie listing who produced this dub, I was curious if anyone here knew anything about it.

Here's a quick clip, excuse the crappy quality - Gokou iz veary hungeary

I've seen those, I think. I've seen movies 5, 6 and 10 dubbed like that. Aren't the kids voices extremely high? I remember in movie 10 they kept calling Goten Goku.

All I know is my friend bought them off eBay about 7 years ago.

Are you talking about the Speedy VCD dubs? I think they dubbed EVERY movie. I tried very hard to get ahold of them, since they hadn't been released here yet, and, they were dubbed in English. But, there's really no need for them now. I'd still like to have them as a collector's item though.

Dunno, could be the same as the DVD/VHS that are sold published here in the Netherlands by Bridge Entertainment, with another English dub? I heard that dub was pretty awful....

I didn't know Arnold Schwarzennegger was one of Funi's VAs... :shock:

Really Dayspring? I was certain that was Sylvester Stallone's voice. :D

Well I can tell you off the bat I have this on VCD :) But this is the only movie I have on VCD, I got it a few years ago, but can't remember were.

Nope. Bridge's dubbing is quite professionally done, with quite a bit of accuracy. The only problem is, their voices suck. This doesn't sound anything like their dubbing, though, and besides, Bridge doesn't do VCD. And, if it's just a company similar to Bridge.... I doubt that. It would at least contain some credits, if it were a bit of a legitimate company.

Heh! Josh's comment just now has made me think of a new version to that old saying by parents to their kids about starving kids in China. "Now Timmy, stop complaining about your DBZ dub! Kids in China can only get the badly dubbed 'Engrish' DBZ you know!" :D

That was fun! I wish I could see the entire thing, but oh well.

If you see a thread has been inactive for a while (weeks, even months)... do not reply to it without extremely good cause. What that does is knock it all the way back up to the top of the forum. This confuses us and other visitors because we have forgotten about the thread by now, and so it seems like there is this new thread with TONS of posts we need to go through! This is especially hard on moderators because we end up re-reading threads that we have already gone through! If you feel it is really important, do not be afraid to just start a new thread (with its own new discussion). Chances are, if you respond to an old one, we will not know what the heck you are talking about!
