In "original" English: Watch Out, We're Mad ("...otherwise we'll get mad") gym fight scene. Put up yer dukes! Yep, that's a good one. Reminiscent of Popeye fights.

Funny how they overdub the speaking of English, even by those who speak it natively. And, how do you appreciate Donald Pleasence's character when translated to German?

He sounds less theatrical in German IMO.

Yeah, well, what I meant was, in that movie he (or whomever did the apparent dub—I suppose it could be him, but there are moments where it doesn't quite sync; maybe he dubbed himself) does an exaggerated, mocking German accent, demeanor, all that. He's the stereotype of the evil German doctor, and, well, just some German stereotypes in general ("Technology! Efficiency! [some word I can't make out]! You can't rule society if you sound like a pussycat.") But when it's overdubbed in German, it's just...German, right?

Here's a scene with him from the English version. (The scene actually begins at the end of the previous "Part 2" video.) And here's another (which actually begins at the end of the previous "Part 3"). Nein! Nein! Nein!

Also, the Boss does a thick English street accent, and the Boss's henchmen all do fake hispanic accents. Are either of those are in the German dub?

Here's the German version:

I noticed that it's the same voice that dubbed Louis De Funes in the Fantomas films, there's nothing special except that he speaks extremely fast. If the gang members are the bikers in part 6 - no, there's nothing special about the way they talk. They all sound normal, just like their bosses. The only difference seems to be the speed or the depth.

The best example for German dubbing i can think of is Die Zwei

No, I mean the men with mustaches and suits and fedoras, who work for the Boss. The fellas at the end of Part 2 (both versions). Hard for me to discern if there's an accent on top of a foreign language. (I have no idea what a German doing a hispanic accent sounds like.)

I do see that your 'Boss' just sounds like a regular German guy, right? Totally different from the American-English version that portrays him as a buffoon Englishman.

So much lost in translation.
