Also for awesome performaneces by Mifune in a non-samurai role watch stray dog, red beard, and the bad sleep well, all amazing kurosawa films.
I pretty much agree with zag on this. With live action the original actors performance means everything to the film and a bad dubb of which there are thousands can ruin a film, so foreign films should always be respected and watched with subtitles.
With anime the animated characters have no voices of their own so you can give them whatever voice you beleive suits them, sometimes I perfer the original Japanese performance sometimes I perfer the american dub, I always get sets with both and then I decide on my own.
Like in the case of dragonball and dbz the Japanese performances sound as though they are being done by castrated men, the american dub suits the characters much better same for cowboy bebop.
I just like to have the choice in case I dont like the original performance, but with live action replacing someones voice with someone elses is in my opinion very wrong, unless as stated if its an HK flick then its just adds more humor.
