Subtitles

Post by Samuel_Scott »

Just added Jimmy Carr: Stand Up to the database and had to laugh at the subtitle options:
Cockney, Queen's English, Scottish and Yorkshire

Anyone else seen any funny ones?
I work away a lot but I will reply to all PM's within a few days so please have patience!

I don't recall any as hilarious as that Jimmy Carr one except for some of the Monty Python movies which featured quotes from Shakespeare's plays instead of translated text. As an interesting option we have some domestic movies and kids' shows here on dvd which feature sign language "subtitles" among the normal subs. It's done so that a small woman pops up on the bottom right corner of the screen and signs the dialogue in sign language.
Apart from various news broadcasts and such on tv, never seen that on a foreign movie dvd anywhere else.
Work occasionally keeps me off the grid but I'll be around sooner or later.
