Re: Wild Zero
I've found it's a personal preference thing. The dubbing has some funny stuff in it, though.

Re: Wild Zero
The reason I ask is that I usually like to watch foreign language films with subtitles. I find that the overdub is usually badly acted and makes for absurdity. However I watched the dubbed version of Rick-Oh: The Story of Ricky and it led to new levels of hilarity. I'm leaning towards the dubbed version of Wild Zero now, thanks!

Re: Wild Zero
Yeah, for things like Ricki and Wild Zero, you're not really missing any important plot (such as they are) points forgoing the subtitles. Enjoy, it's an odd one.

That's what I hear. Been preparing by listening to some Guitar Wolf. Ouch... Much prefer Send More Paramedics.

Always has to be subs for me too. I think movies are better in their intended language. Watched oldboy with dubbed once. Was one of the better dubs I've heard but still didn't feel right.

Having seen Story of Ricki both ways, dubbed is way better. But I watch most foreign language films with subtitles by preference.

The subtitles are no better than dubbed in this case. Neither can be correct, and both are funny. Language translation was not a big priority for this film.

For the Story of Ricky , they took a bit of liberty with the translation and went for camp in their dubbing and the result was hilarious which suits the movie.

I don't think you can really translate a scene in which someone ties their own severed tendon back together to make a fist and play is straight.
