Hahah Longde. Did you get this from watching the link I put in the WOWarcraft dating vid? I spend an hour watching Airplane stuff on youtube that night.

I love this movie!!

Surely you can't be serious.

Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Something none of my friends noticed even though we used to watch this film so many times: The propeller sounds every time they show an exterior of the plane flying.

really? nobody?

Okay, I will.

as you might or might not know: in germany movies don't get subtitles but instead get a voiceover. naturally, this brings along some problems when there's play with languages such as in this case. "Airplane!" is a great example of how translators deal with this.

Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEkI0cH_rK4

So what they did is they let the two guys speak in a very thick, bavarian accent. bavaria is a region in south-east germany that's pretty much your cliche germany. beer for breakfast, sausages, huge 34oz beer mugs, castles, bretzel, leather shorts etc. it doesn't get more "german" than bavaria. there's certainly a racist touch to it (at least in my eyes because the "joke" depends on the audiences disbelief / surprise of a black person being a "real" bavarian) but i thought it's a good example of voice over strangenesses.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

That's really interesting. Would be curious how other languages handled it.>> ^conan:

Well, at least in the old world there are various ways: scandinivian countries to my knowledge only use subtitles, france and germany both have very sophisticated Voice over industries. The example above aside it is very hard to spot if a Movie was voiced over in German because the speakers do an incredible Job of matching their words and pronounciation to the lip movements of actors. You actually can make a Good living as Voice over Artist. Especially the voices of Big stars can go into advertising etc (Bruce willis' Voice Guy does that a Lot). Really funny are Voice overs in eastern Europe countries, you can often find Movies where One Single speaker does all the voices without Even trying to make them Sound different :-)
