Shaolin captioning

| No Comments

We're working our way through a slough of chop-socky kung-fu pics for the Drive-In Classics channel, though the captioning will gloss over such traditional cries as "Hyaaiii!" and "Whoaaa-haaaaiiya!" and "Wait, now what the hell's going on?"

Those who believe that sitting and transcribing other people's words is not an entirely challenging job may wish to decide for themselves whether one particular character in The Dragon Connection is saying "He might come through" or "See my kung fu."

Although if they get that far in the movie, that means they survived listening to the dialogue that occurs after two former prisoners, or rebels, or something, start to walk away from a fight at an inn only to be stopped by the affronted innkeeper. "Hey! Go? Not so simple! There's the food you ate, and the things you broke! And you killed some guys."
