Vijay tv started the trend of telecasting english movies ofcourse translated in tamil. I generally skip these programs, coz i really dont have the patience to watch a movie on television. Once, me and ma cousin were totally jobless. Just came across a program about review of Shanghai knights in suntv.
Initially, i was against the attempt to watch but when we started watching the reviews, i bet we would have never laughed this much if we had watched the english version.
As far as Jackie Chan was concerned, he was speaking normal tamil. I mean a decent slang. Owen wilson was actually speakin in local "madras tamil"... he was like innada, thoda blah blah.
A scene goes like this. Jackie chan introduces lucy liu (i guess his sister in the movie) to owen wilson, owen wilson gives a crazy reaction. Tamil translation was so "Machi dai, un thangachi superrrrr figure ma. Cha ippadi oru super figure unaku thangachi nu na sollavae illa." What a crazy translation was that? Me and my cousin were laughing our ass out.
owen wilson and jackie chan under disguise, (like some ambassador of some country) goes for an embassy meeting. Owen wilson goes to the head chef to enquire about the dish kept on the table. Eskooose me "intha pathartham paeru inna?"....That guy blabbers something in some crap language. Our thala says to jackie "dai ivan padhartham paeru sollaraana, illana nammala ketta vaarthaila thittaraana? kettu sollu machi". It proved a great entertainment for me and ma cousin that day.
On the similar lines, some famous dialogues which were intended to be serious but happened to be a joke.
Jurrasic park, "antha prani enna thorathuthu"
Shanghai noon movie, cowboys in texas speak Thirunalveli tamizh :P
Exorcist(unfortunately i watched the tamil version of the movie witout knowin the fact that it was tamil.)
"Antha paey enna thorathuthu"
Spiderman II telecasted in suntv some days back...
Inshort, all movies on suntv during weekends.
Of all, i wouldnt mind watching all Jackie chan movies in Tamil. Hope i get the collections soon...i bet it proves to be a better entertainment than watchin it in English.
