DOMO ARIGATO, MR. ROBOTO

We were offered a refund last night (which I took) because the film was horribly out of focus for 3/4s of the movie. The place was run by a bunch of 16 year olds with NO adult supervision. Being among 300 Star Wars geeks ready to explode is not a pleasant place to find yourself, I can tell you.

Let On-able fah be wee yoo.

It seems there was a reel mix-up and at some point in the film Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi started to speak Japanese.

What's the difference, from all of the reviews the dialogue was not understandable anyway...

[Bald Eagle777]

"someone set us up the bomb"

[Physicist]

These geeks should have watched more anime.

If you really want a good laugh, see if you can find a Woody Allen film called "What's Up, Tiger Lily?"

He took a Japanese spy thriller that was a knock-off of a James Bond movie and dubbed his own English dialogue over it. The whole thing was ingenious -- especially because he made his outlandish, ridiculous lines match the Japanese characters' movements and expressions almost perfectly.

Typical Scene . . .

A group of Japanese law enforcement officials are gathered around a table discussing their plan to arrest a major criminal in the case. A large map of some kind is laid out on the table before them. One of them gets up, points at something on the map, and says something to the group. The guy across the table stands up, leans over the table, looks at the spot on the map where the first one was pointing. His face suddenly lights up with a look of shock and awe, and he excitedly says something to the first one, who seems to get angry with him and passes him off with a dismissive gesture.

The dialogue that Woody Allen dubbed over that scene was something like this:

Officer #1 (standing up and pointing to the middle of the map): "This is where Mr. Wong now lives, and he must be captured immediately!"

Officer #2 (stands up and looks at the map, then looks at Officer #1 in shock): "Holy sh!t -- YOU MEAN MR. WONG IS LIVING INSIDE THIS PIECE OF PAPER?!?!"

Officer #1 (waving his hand at Officer #2 as if to tell him to sit down and shut up): "No, you moron -- this is a map of the town where he lives!"

". . .Ruke Skywalker"

Isn't that Ruke Skywarker?

[Junior]

The embarrasing thing, though, is that the Japanese audience that got the American film probably didn't have any problem understanding the movie, what with English being a second language there and all.
