Please, for all that is good and holy, hire someone who is actually fluent
in the target language and knowledgeable about grammar when you decide to
create subtitles. Geez!!

That reminds me of some instructions for a folding box my grandfather got
as a Christmas gift once:

"First you both the longsides unfold, then the both transverse walls
descend thusly. Now everything is OK!"

What's even worse in my opinion is when for non-native actors, playing
natives of a foreign country try to speak that language.

One example, there are others, is the X-files episode where the action
takes place near the norwegian town "Tildeskan" (I wonder where that one
is). The norwegian isn't exactly state of the art.

I'm sure dragons of other languages have similar experiences. AFAIR, there
was this austrian actor playing the hero in a couple of action movies.

I'm pretty sure he didn't say anything. He didn't really have a very
large role though. Kind of gained a bit of weight hasn't he? Hmmmm. I
don't think he said anything in 8mm either.

In Splash, is it supposed to be Swedish that John Candy has learned from
porn films that he uses to bluff his way past the guards at one point?

If I make a film that needs dubbing or whatever, I plan to have lots of
Easter eggs. The actor will be doing the actions of, for instance,
robbing a bank, but the dubbing will be the words of someone ordering a
pizza, etc.

There is this weird rumor that the "terrorists" for "true lies" are
actually talking in german, in the english version at least :>

I have yet to see the original version of that one to be sure about
it.

No, that would be a bit too obvious. If I knew Farsi I could tell for
certain but it sounded okay to me. I think we're past the cliche of
having German Nazis as the bad guys in every action movie. For the next
few decades it will be arab terrorists. (See what Back to the Future hath
wrought?)

So you must be a MST3K fan huh? I was sorry to see Sci-Fi take it off
on Saturday mornings.

Nope, never watched any other than to decide it wasn't worth my time.
There's plenty of good scifi to watch without spending time watching and
then ridiculing the known bad stuff.
