What is the worst DB dub?

Post by Vegitofaxx » Thu Apr 02, 2015 4:33 pm

What do you guys think is the worst dub?
For my money the Malaysian, "Soopa Saiya People"

As far as English dubs are concerned, definitely the Malaysian/Speedy dub of the movies. The dubs for those movies were 'The Room' levels of so bad it's good.

I guess they couldn't tell Vegeta was supposed to be yelling rather than speaking calmly....

I'm pretty sure that everyone has dubs they love and dubs they hate, but I think that from an objective point of view, the Serbian dub is the worst.
Even if we don't judge the quality of the acting (I don't really like judging the actors in languages which I don't understand), it still wins, hands-down. Why? DAT LIP-SYNCHING.

The previous clip with the Galick Gun scene doesn't even come close to showing how bad the lip-synching could be in some scenes:

In terms of English dubs, DEFINITELY the Malaysian-English dub by Speedy video. Every single character either has a thick, Arnold Schwarzenegger esque asian accent, or a high pitched voice (for the female characters). The Big Green dub was also really bad but at least the actors weren't that terrible (in-fact i'd say the acting in the Big Green dub was better than the acting in FUNi's original season 3 dub).

The Greek dub also seems pretty bad

The Turkish dub of DB is almost as horrible as the Serbian dub (I can understand almost 70% of what they are saying by the way).

It's not all that bad as long as you understand Greek. I know that many people complain about Vegeta's demonic voice but I like it.
I can't help but love this voice even with filters.

Honestly, the only dubs I've seen and understood were all the English dubs (Except for Harmony Gold, however based on the stuff I've seen of it, such as Goku being named Zero I doubt it was that good. And don't get me started with their lackluster intro), the German dub, and the Japanese dub with subtitles.

The German dub was actually VERY well done, in case anyone was wondering. The acting was pretty good, even though Goku's voice took some getting used to.

However, the Big Green and Blue Water dubs were really horrid. Despite that, it's kinda tough for me to blame the Big Green actors, as most of them didn't have English as their first language.

Well, IMO the worst dubs are obviously the Malaysian dub, and everything from AB Groupe' scripts.

I have never heard of the Speedy dub until now... And just from that scene I need to ask...

PLEASE, tell me that the whole dub isn't like that... If so, at least tell me it wasn't released on television!

Yes, the entire dub is like that.

Unknown but they were released on VCD. I have Movies 1, 3 - 10 and 12. Still looking for 2, 11 and 13.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Does it have the same lip-synch issues the Serbian dub has?

If you change "dub" to "localization", then the Polish DB version surely is the worst. Not only it isn't a dub but a voiceover (the French dub is heard in the background and one guy reads all the texts in Polish - check this out for example) and don't even get me started on the translation (where for example Vegeta would call Goku alternatively a sperm whale and a puppet).
