Title: REALLY dumb movie lines. (and what they actually mean.) Post by: Svengoolie 3 on January 23, 2019, 01:45:41 PM In the Adam west batman movie a big deal was made about the penguin having a "pre atomic submarine!" and Batman got a little annoyed at the "hexagon" for selling a "pre atomic submarine" without checking the buyers ID.
Uh, what is a "pre atomic submarine"? Isn't that basically a totally non atomic submarine? An ordinary diesel submarine? I guess "pre atomic submarine" sounded cooler than "diesel submarine", which is what it actually was. Title: Re: REALLY dumb movie lines. (and what they actually mean.)

Pokemon the 1st Movie Ash, the main character, has had all his Pokemon stolen. He chases after them shouting. "You're not going to get my Pikachu!!" Now, Pikachu was a major character, but did Ash really care for him more than all the others? Title: Re: REALLY dumb movie lines. (and what they actually mean.) Post by: Svengoolie 3 on January 23, 2019, 02:00:41 PM Not to familiar with pokemon, but would calling it "my pikachu" imply there were others?
Title: Re: REALLY dumb movie lines. (and what they actually mean.) Post by: Pacman000 on January 23, 2019, 02:09:23 PM Yes; a Pikachu is a breed of Pokemon. Ash had 4 or 5 other Pokemon with him, all of different breeds.
I'm trying to find a clip of the scene... Title: Re: REALLY dumb movie lines. (and what they actually mean.) Post by: Pacman000 on January 25, 2019, 11:48:22 AM Found the complete movie...in Japanese. But it has subtitles! But the redubbing company changed a bunch of dialog; the dumb line's not there.
https://youtu.be/3g8Y7-lm9DU?t=3243 ^At the end of this scene, when Ash is sliding down the tube. If you can find an English clip that's where the dumb line is. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/27/Pokemonseason1DVDBoxSet.jpg) Ash would be the guy in the center of this picture. Title: Re: REALLY dumb movie lines. (and what they actually mean.)

From Message From Space: Old Woman: "I have paid a fortune! I paid it for you my pretty, so you could be the bride of my son!" Princess: "What?" (Gasps in horror when she sees the old woman's son.) Old Woman: "You're just like the others [unintelligible] He was born on the planet Pluto." Now, what does that last line mean? Did the old woman get married to an alien from Pluto, & live there for a time? Did she adopt an alien? Or did the Pluto's harsh environment somehow turn a human into a pig-nosed...thing? |
