"Anyone know anything about Volcano High?"
, posted Sat 20 Dec 15:59
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a specific reason why Volcano High is being played on MTV Sunday. For those of you that don't know its a Korean martial arts moive about battleing High School students and the voices are dubbed over by popular rappers. Did the rappers really push for this release or is MTV just going into the marital arts movie craze that exists right now.

I have no problem with anime dubs (unless they are bad) but I prefer live action to be subbed if it's in another language (because it's very obvious that it's dubbed) but if it had to be dubbed, I'd prefer it be by Korean actors speaking in English. I mean, hearing Korean people sounding like rappers is gonna suck.

Indeed, live action dubs are vary noticable since animes really don't have lip sync. And Snoop Dogg is gonna sound very out of place with a bunch of high school asians.

Whasango (aka Volcano High). There´s a 2-disc korean set (r3) with the extended cut and a 2-disc chinese set (also r3) with the international cut.
There are also a buncha bootlegs everywhere.

Only problem is the subs on those discs are pretty bad. The story is so brain numbingly hard to follow, and not in an intelligent way. I would have like a good sub titling job over any dubbing any day.
Cool looking final fight though.

like all dubs, it's inferior to the original, but what I saw of the MTV version, it really wasn't awful. Not too well written though...they really tried too hard to make the words mimic the mouth flaps.

I didn't see the MTV, but saw the Korean Volcano High movie before.
Volcano High had a very terrible storyline -It was about finding a school that contains some secret scrolls that one would become invicible should he gets his hands on them. The vice-principal had tried to get it for himself from the principal, and hired some tough fighters as teachers of the school i an attempt to stop the students from getting in his way. In the end it had a shabby and abrupt ending with no mention of the scrolls, or what happened to everyone after the final fight.
What was only worth seeing were its CGI fighting scenes.

A "Snoop Dogg" is a "Scavenger Smoker"; ie, sees you smoking a joint, comes by, asks for a hit, almost kills it, and dips. The rapper known as Snoop Dogg was once popular but is now reduced to filming Girls Gone Wild and making cameos in AOL 9.0 commercials. I might be wrong on this but I believe he also started the whole "Shizzle muh nizzle" thing.

It seemed odd that the ass of the main character was blurred out in the shower yet don't the rappers have women in thongs in half their videos? Just a thought.

I know who Snoop Dogg is (although I strongly disagree with your assessment of his current career). I heard he did a voice in the movie and I wondered who he played.

That's not an example of a good dub, that's an example of dumb luck.
Every dub I've seen the VA's for Spike, Jet, and Faye in are basically playing Spike, Jet, and Faye... this is the only time they fit (not really though... Spike and Jet come off a bit too layed back)
yeah so if I had a point I forgot it.
On Subject: I forgot to watch Volcano High... did it try to be "funny" with the redubbing? Because I image that didn't go will if they did.
HOORAY! I gots Photoshop back!
