Favourite lines

Postby ASaroch on Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:38 am

Sometimes, thanks to poor dubbing or mis-translation, some really corkers emerge. This is the time to share quotes that will never leave our memories...

"Disaster! A Coffin has jumped in by itself!" - 'Full Moon Scimitar'
"He suicided himself" - Swordsman With An Umbrella

The English dub for that line is possibly my favourite dubbed line ever...

"Fatty, your face is so fat you've gone and damaged my instep"

Snake And Crane, Martial arts of Shaolin - Jackie talking with the messenger (can't remember the full dialogue).

'Where shall we met?'
'Temple'
'Do you always speak in just two syllables?'
'....most times'.

I always liked the dubbed line from 'Drunken Master':

"Each man one way, each horse one stance, each church one Buddha, and each master to his own technique"
"...the root of Man's problems is memory. Without a past, every day would be a new beginning" - Ashes Of Time
