- Some more comments on the Streamline deal AFTER watching the original
- Castle of Cagliostro:
-
- 1) Gaver is right, the voice isn't the same.
- 2) Streamline has quite an annoying tendancy to change dialog
- around for no apparent reason. They also have a tendancy to
- DELETE dialog at times. (examples to follow:)
-
- a) The Cagliostro boys are chasing the princess in the
- beginning part of the movie and Jiken tries to shoot
- their cars' tires. His REAL reaction: "That's no
- ordinary car!". Macek-ized reaction: "That cars got
- bullet proof tires!"
- b) Jiken loses in the Jyan-ken-po game and has to fix
- the flat tire. His REAL reaction while walking is
- "the spare is bald". I don't think I remember him
- saying anything in the Macek'erd version.
-
- I know see the stupidy of Macek. I have seen the light. He
- changes dialog for NO REASON. It does nothing more than
- irritate those who have seen the original! The implications
- are the same, but still..

- Gaver-sensei.. I agree that the voice was quite different, but
- I still think it was a good "adaptation" of Lupin's voice. I don't
- expect companies to go chasing around the world for a perfect Lupin III
- voice match. I say it was "good enough".
-
- Despite the stupidity of Streamline, I still say it was a well
- done dubbing job. I'll buy the LD (if it's under $40 and if it comes out).
