What would you do if they dubbed american movies in australian?

[Loony BoB]

Bloody drongos.

I reckon.

I wasn't aware "I reckon." was Australian. As far as I know - since I use it all the time too - it's just something that was used a couple of decades ago and Antipodeans just never really let it go.

Anyone who saw my tGA post with the Australian dragons should know how I feel on this issue.

Every sentence would be a question, thanks to that damned Australian Question Intonation.

Gives me your clothes, your boots, and your <i>motorcyle</i>?
Come with me if you want to <i>live</i>?

Or imagine romantic films.

I'm sorry I ever left you?
I really mean it, I love you?
Lets never be apart?

[boris no no]

what if all actors were kangeroos and they kicked everyone in the head O__o

xDThen Jurrasic Park would be even worse!

Wouldn’t work. Not even Australians can understand the butchery of the english lanugage they use here. You might as well get the actors to do a voice track after drinking hydrofluoric acid.

Yes, I realize that it would kill them instantly. I couldn’t think of a better example (nice info though)

Anyway, they actually do dub some America commercials over here into Australian; I guess people think it makes them more ‘accessible’ to the audience.

And yes, it sucks.

He's Austrian.

eh... I guess that could be an "Aussie", but only very loosely.

"That's a lovely accent there...New Jersey?"
"It's Austrian."
"Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!"

Hahaha I love that quote.

Even more so since I have a Jersey accent.

Lol Braveheart in Australian ...

William Wallace : Look Hamish , see how the cowardly English flee the field!!!
Hamish : Bonzer !

Personally though I think it's absurd that anyone would dub over standard English with respective accents , for the sake of authenticity ( ie. 14th century Scotland in this case)
