To each his (or her) own. Humor is subjective.

Ok, yes, they got heavy handed at times. I gave them leeway because they had to figure out how to dub an entire movie out of another one, so I expected a lot of filler. Considering the source material, I thought they did well.
I had the advantage of not seeing it in theaters, so I didn't pay money for it. I do expect more from a movie I spent $15 to see. As a lazy Sunday movie, it was great.
Full disclosure, I watched Saturday Midnight Kung Fu Theater religiously for over a decade, and those movies are mostly awful...so bad they were hilarious too.

Top Secret was funny. This wasn't.

My give up point was the Narrator during the "punch a hole in a guy" scene. It just went on... and on... and on... Much of the movie was like that. "SEE??? HERE IS THE FUNNY THING!!! NOTICE HOW IT'S FUNNY??? IT'S FUNNY!!! HERE!!! RIGHT HERE!!! FUNNY!!! HAHA!!! IT'S A FUNNY THING!!! OK!!! I'LL DESCRIBE IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY!!! YOU SHOULD BE STILL LAUGHING IT'S SO FUNNY!!! HOW FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY WE ARE!!!"

You must not be a fan of kung fu....or movies like top secret. I am.
I absolutely loved how they did it too, using an existing movie and redubbing and green screening it. I wonder why haven't others done it.

Stupid done right is hilarious.

Really? I walked out of it and went to see Black Hawk Down when it was in the theatres.

Sometimes stupid is just stupid.

"Batman Ninja" trailer (English language)

newtboy says...

Says you. ;-)
I've always been entertained by kaiju movies (until sci-fi channel got involved), in large part because of the terrible dialog and dubbing, but also the dead pan seriousness. When they have tried to be silly, like Godzilla Jr, it always fell flat for me.
As for kung fu, I feel that the bad dialogue adds a needed comedy element often otherwise missing. I thought Kung Pow was hilarious and inventive because of intentionally terrible dubbing.

I do agree, this bastardization has some glaring issues...that doesn't mean it can't still be fun.

But that is because the movie is so bad to begin with. I hate dubs with a passion because most often the voice does not match the actor like originally intended by the director. Also in the case of japan animations, voice acting is a highly competitive career market over there which means there are many top tier actors to choose from. Liscensed dubs on the other hand deal with a lot of frequently contracted actors in a market that isn't bursting with talent.

Also the plot of this animation seems pretty ridiculous. I would have let the batman and joker pass but when everyone else in the batman universe, even the god damn butler, showes up I was like

"Batman Ninja" trailer (English language)

newtboy says...

But isn't the awful dubbing 1/2 of what makes Godzilla movies so fun? It certainly makes kung fu movies better.

ChaosEngine said:

I've seen a bunch of articles on the internet saying "Finally! an english language trailer for this!"

Is it really that hard to read subtitles? Personally, I think the Japanese version sounds way cooler.

I'm not a big anime fan (I've seen Akira and Ghost in the Shell and that's it). Tried to watch the new Godzilla on netflix and the english voiceover was just awful. Japanese dialogue doesn't work in english.

Yeah, but it's like when Donnie Yen as Yip Man trains all of the factory workers to fight over the course of months; yeah you can take one, two, maybe three or four peasant workers down, but then you get clubbed on the head by like 7 other women with bo staffs. Meanwhile, female Donnie Yen -- Michelle Yeoh is stalking your every move and you don't even see as she breaks every rib in your body with quick successive punches.

New Gangnam Style? The Perverted Dance (Cut The Balls)!!!!!!

eric3579 says...

What's up with this music?!

I am a philosopher, I like to provoke,
we live in perverted times,
so let me tell you a perverted joke!

A famous, dirty, horrible joke,
taking place in 15th century Russia.
A farmer and his wife walk along a dusty country road.
A Mongol warrior on a horse stops and says
"I'm gonna rape your wife and you should hold my testicles,
while I rape your wife, so that they will not get dusty."
When he raped his wife, the Mongol warrior went away,
the farmer started to laugh and jump with joy, his wife said
"Hey, how can you be happy?! I was just brutally raped!
And he says: "But I got him. His balls are full of dust."

Well, in reality we only dirty with dust the balls of those in power.
And now comes the dirty conclusion - the point is to cut them off!

Now let me warn you - this isn't Macarena, not Chicken dance,
not Aserejé, not Gangnam style and so on and so on.

We stand no chance, there's no time for romance,
it's time to dance The Perverted Dance™!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls
and our faces won't be sour!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls.

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls,
we can train with cauliflower!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls.

Oh, my god, why am i doing this?! Singing, dancing?!
I feel like that disgusting guy from Canada, Justin Bieber...

So, the problem with capitalism is that it's in the crisis from its very beginning.
From somewhere, I would say, late 18th century, there are prophets who claim capitalism is nearing its end.
It's like that stupid bird Fenix, the more you, you know, it returns.
I got hungry, let's grab something to eat!
What?! No meat?! Only for vegetarians ?!
Degenerates, degenerates, they'll all soon turn into monkeys.

I dont say let's do nothing,
I say sometimes doing nothing is the most violent thing to do.
So cut the balls, just cut the balls!
And racism is also a problem,
so be like Kung Fu Panda - be white, black, asian
and cut the balls, just cut the balls!
They call me The Borat of Philosophy,
The Marx Brother and The Elvis of cultural theory.
Cut the crap and cut the balls, just cut the balls!

Hey, I am Slavoj Žižek!
No, I am Slavoj Žižek!
No, I am Slavoj Žižek,
Fuck that, whatever, let's all be Slavoj Žižek!

Grab and pull the imaginary balls from the sky,
cut through the air and say bye, bye, bye.
Let's join together, let's fall in trance,
let's dance The Perverted Dance™!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls.
and then take the bloody shower!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls,
let them face the final hour!
just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls!

This stupid repetative mechanic music!
Stop it!

Thank you, thank you very much!

The problem is maybe not the big act "Cut the balls",
but you make small changes and all of a sudden, balls are no longer there.
Those in power look down and say "Oh, where are my balls?"
and suddenly their voices get higher and so on and so on and so on.
I stand by my joke. The structure of the joke is that this so called progressive intellectual,
in order to score his small narcissistic point, oh, I dusted the balls,
totally ignores the suffering there and that's the whole point of the joke.
So cut the balls, we need to cut the balls!

Why Blind Dates Never Work

Luna the crazy kung fu wolf bitch...*quality date right there. You just have to get her to turn her cell phone off so her crazy friend doesn't giver her anymore bad advice.
Someone much better to have as a friend than as an enemy.

Good Role Model Teaching Kids to Work Through Emotional Pain

newtboy says...

Life is a road of suffering. Most things worth doing require suffering and sacrifice. If you don't learn how to overcome hardship, it's likely to overcome you.

His kung fu will be strong.....yours will not. He'll make your eagles claw look like a chicken!

Red said:

Will make a good slave which have learned to suffer and endure pain uselessly. Dignifying suffering is a road to nothing but more of the same.

Woman Accuses White Male of Stealing Her Cultural Hairstyle

newtboy says...

Oh yeah, I'm well aware that defending yourself can easily turn into a scene from a 70's kung fu movie with multiple attackers going after you for defending yourself...no matter how out of control the female attacker may be. There are many dumb, sexist douchebags out there just itching for a fight. My point is, there's absolutely no legitimate reason you can't defend yourself against a woman who's attacking you physically....idiot douchebags don't count as 'legitimate reasons' to me, but I don't disagree they're a consideration. EDIT: That said...I don't think black Rick Astley there would give me much pause.

My brother knows even better than I, he was attacked by a random angry drunk girl on the street in Austin, she threw her drink on him and sucker punched him in the face out of nowhere, over nothing (according to him), he slapped her, and woke up 5 minutes later face down on the sidewalk with a missing tooth and a broken motorcycle helmet, some 'bro' (read 'brah') sucker punched him in the back of the head and beat him with his own helmet, then probably went home to rape the drunk girl.

That said...if a woman wants to act like her sex isn't an issue and start a physical confrontation with someone much larger, they deserve the debilitating beat down they get and their sex and/or size should not be an issue. That's the logical outcome of believing in equality of the sexes in the eyes of the law.
