Something I hate about IMDb ratings...
If it wasn't for that awful English dubbed version, this film would have at least about 8.3 rather than 7.9, but unfortunately nobody can be bothered to read subtitles and instead were all put off by Tetsuo's threat of "if you scratch that, I'm gonna kill your ass!" and various other lines of ridiculous dialog that would never have occurred in Otomo's original script.
Both English versions are appalling, as we can all agree, and the original Japanese version, how IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN, is the only way to watch this film properly. If people did this, they would realise that it is one of the best films ever made.
Thoughts, gentlemen?
