Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

Well, at least when they dubbed Shogun the got some actual actors to do it and not the usual collection of overly precise radio announcers. As I recall, for Mifune they got Orson Welles.
For a good example of how much dubbing (even by another actor in the same language) can negatively affect a film, there's always Schwartzenegger's "Hercules in New York." It improves significantly if you play it with the original soundtrack. (He really wasn't much harder to understand then, to be honest.) Transforms it all the way from "really stinks" to "oh, not TOO annoying, but still dumb."
