the story about Rory setting the guy on fire at the pub.
the subtitles are there to translate the British slang. did Ritchie always intend to have subtitles there or did he have to add them after filming, realizing that the scene's dialogue is particularly heavy on British slang? when released in the UK, did it have the subtitles?
Yeah, it's the cockney slang that's impossible for some to translate. For instance, who would know that "chevy chase" means "face" ?
shareIts pretty easy really. Its only rhyming. Chevy Chase = Face, Birds nest = chest, nuclear sub = pub.
Yorkshire is a place. Yorkshire is a state of mind.
There was a similar scene in the movie Airplane from 1980. In one scene, the hostess tries to talk to two black passengers, but they speak in such heavy black jargon that she doesn't understand a word. Another passenger then helps them. That scene is subtitled, although the dialogue is already in English. It worked very well and was very funny.
I don't know if Guy Ritchie got the idea from that film, but it worked well in his film too. If I'm not mistaken, the Snatch DVD also has some sort of option for partial subtitles, which give the subtitles for One Punch Mickey's character only, whose dialogue also is impossible to understand.
Never be complete.
You wouldn't Adam and Eve it.
shareCRS usually isn't that straightforward. Mostly it's more like
"skin and bone" rhymes with "zone", therefore "zone" means "skin" (not "bone")
so it's almost like coded language.
"skin and bone" rhymes with "zone", therefore "zone" means "skin" (not "bone")
Strangely in the German dubbed version, German subtitles appear, even though the spoken German is completely intelligible.
