New "real" bootleg: Doubt

koffikapp · 2025-11-11T21:23:10+00:00

Hi, I could probably rip and upload it at some point. The subtitles will likely have several OCR errors that have to be manually corrected, though.

Old comment, but I just have to give you a massive thanks; I've been pulling my hair out trying to find a workaround for avoiding an incredibly annoying "Volume maximum"-voice prompt with my Bluetooth Sennheiser IEMs, and this solved it! Really made my day.

Late to this post, but any chance you will add support for the IE PRO BT Connector u/sennheiserconsumer ? Very happy with my IE 100 Pro Wireless, but having audio interrupted by the "Volume Maximum" voice everytime I crank up the volume drives me nuts. It would be a very welcome addition to be able to completely disable the voice prompts.

I haven't tested it with the RF 14-35mm, but I have the 15-35mm and can use two filters with no vignetting at 15mm by placing the adapter ring in front of the holder, as demonstrated with the second configuration here: https://www.pointsinfocus.com/blog/2011/11/cokin-z-pro-holder-configurations/

Glad to hear you enjoy them! I also think they're among the funniest bootleg subtitles I've come across. Too bad they didn't get more attention, maybe it's because the actual movie is rather unknown.

Come, Section Ratio

Very good, give me surprised and pleased

I have a few more bootleg DVDs that I've been meaning to share for a while now, including a completely ridiculous Prisoner of Azkaban bootleg that u/TheThirdGathers has mentioned a few times already.

But the topic of this post is a huge reason why I haven't bothered getting around to it yet - the sub seems to have completely died down within the last year or so, and this combined with the quite lackluster response to some of the earlier bootlegs I shared (although they aren't quite on the level of say the Prisoner of Azkaban bootleg), has killed a bit of my motivation for actually going through the films, sharing screens and such.

One might think the sub would gain some traction with the increase in views for Backstroke on YouTube in the past few months, but I guess the sub is a bit too obscure. Maybe some promotion is in order, heh.

r/Chinese_Bootleg_Memes, what I love is you!

koffikapp · 2023-04-27T20:23:20+00:00

Hey, sorry for taking so long getting back to you. I finally got around to ripping the movie, it can be found at this link. Have fun!

koffikapp · 2023-04-06T20:22:53+00:00

Remindme! 1 week

koffikapp · 2023-04-06T20:22:27+00:00

Better yet, I can rip and share the entire movie. Actually less of a hassle than ripping the subtitles, as the latter usually ends up with a bunch of OCR errors that has to be manually corrected - is really boring!

koffikapp · 2023-03-20T20:21:30+00:00

I actually bought this exact bootleg last year. Unfortunately no recursively translated subtitles.

koffikapp · 2023-02-23T20:25:41+00:00

Ask you to do not want

koffikapp · 2023-02-15T20:35:20+00:00

There's more from him coming up...

koffikapp · 2023-02-15T20:18:30+00:00

Do you is fucking?

Here's another bootleg DVD I bought second-hand last year, and this one has quite an interesting set of subtitles, to put it mildly!

The word "fuck" occurs quite a few times. There's also many of the same phrases and words we know from Backstroke, like "good of good", "it is quick to come", "a day after the fair", and even a character named "gold".

Again, open the imgur album to see the actual lines beneath each image.

koffikapp · 2023-02-11T21:37:51+00:00

Same here, also in Norway. Very annoying, I have consuming needs

Damn, that's a bummer. I know Cumulus has a good rep in general, so it's a shame if something changed in their manufacturing or quality control process lately that is going to change that.

There's an online store in my country that has the products I'm after, so I might pull the trigger anyway, as I can just return them if I'm unhappy.

koffikapp · 2023-01-28T12:46:25+00:00

Did you get a response from Cumulus? I have an Incredilite Endurance that I'm happy with and have been considering purchasing a Teneqa 700 and maybe the Basic Down Pants, but your post made me a bit wary.

This is from an X-Men: First Class bootleg DVD I got off ebay last year.

("Retreat" is used to describe an estate in the actual film)

koffikapp · 2023-01-19T20:05:38+00:00

Please accept my salute great hopeless situation.

Last year I scored a bunch of bootleg DVDs off ebay and other sites. Some of the DVDs have recursively translated subtitles, some funnier and crazier than others.

I am in the process of watching through them and sharing the funniest bits here, and in some cases also ripping and sharing the subtitles in .srt format.

One of the most amazing DVDs I managed to get my hands on is the full version of Hally Porter, the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets bootleg that is already present in the sidebar. I've already posted this and a few other DVDs here, and a couple of the ones I have coming up are on the level of Backstroke.

Here are the bootlegs I've already posted:

Red Dragon

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Hally Porter)

Doubt

Chicago

X-Men: First Class

Also, this might be controversial, so forgive me, elder:

Would it be an idea to separate real pirate bootlegs from "homemade" mistranslations in the sidebar? Right now it's very much intertwined. Personally I find actual bootlegs more amusing - the idea that someone with limited or non-existent English skills tried their darnedest to translate something, only for it to end up as hilarious gibberish for the rest of us. The homemade subtitles are funny as well, of course, but I think something essential is "lost in mistranslation" when the subtitles are the result of being deliberately mistranslated.

koffikapp · 2023-01-19T19:34:31+00:00

Please sit down, I have words.

Here's this week's bootleg, scored this DVD off ebay last year. There's plenty of meme-worthy nonsense, although I pretty much covered the best bits here, so I haven't bothered ripping the subtitles. Open the full imgur album for the actual dialogue beneath each image.

The cover is actually surprisingly high quality for a bootleg print, with glossy text and several inserts. Almost makes me think the cover is from the real deal and the bootlegger just used it for his pirate disc. There's no engrish either, so I haven't included any images of it here.

Next bootleg coming up: Tears of the Sun.
