> Star Wars

Putting this here for anyone who needs a laugh:

Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DI5WyiHQno

(Someone took a copy of Revenge of the Sith that had been translated from English to Chinese and back, and then re-recorded that dialogue and put it back over the original footage.)

And here's the entire 2h20 of this mistranslated movie: https://youtu.be/XziLNeFm1ok

(Baader-Meinhof is a funny thing. I have learned of this movie less than 12 hours ago and here it is again)

Thanks, I just watched a fragment of that video.

I'm amazed by how much more realistic the space fights looked in the first three Star Wars movies compared to the CG stuff.

I think it's worth citing the original source for this!

http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-backstroke-of-west....

It was originally bought from a DVD street vendor in Shanghai. And it's the source of "do not want" as a meme!

This is brilliant; I didn't know there was a well-known source for this. Thank you!
