Why the difference in translations between VHS and DVD versions?
|
I can't compete with some of the reviews written here since so many of them are worded so much better than anything I might have tried to compile.---
The one thing I will say that bothered me was not the film itself but the difference in the subtitling between the original VHS issue, in French, and the subsequent American released DVD.---I guess having owned the VHS and seen it COUNTLESS times (it's that funny-but wore out now) when the DVD was issued I just about jumped out of my pants! Then came the 1st viewing. Not even 10 mins. into the film I noticed little nuance's with the DVD translation that were different from the VHS.--- This was a little disappointing but only because of my familiarity with the tape.
For example: On VHS, in the one scene, right after the Jean Reno was given the witches potion, he says something to the effect of, "Holy Scrotums! The Castle swelleth like a [...]!"--On the DVD (which I'm sorry, I can't remember as well) he said something far more tamer, which is where it lost, to only a minor degree, some of it humorous pazazz and charm!
I sure wish they had-had the same translators when they did the DVD cause the VHS translation was much funnier. Other than this minor little quibble, "The Visitors" is one of the funniest and most touching films I've ever seen. Jean Reno is the best!! (and an honary nod to Christian C. as the side kick!)
