If you really feel that way, I would highly recommend the Woody Allen classic, "What's Up, Tiger Lily?"

He took a Japanese spy thriller and dubbed English dialogue over it that had nothing to do with the original movie. He apparently did this to reinforce your point that these foreign movies suck. LOL.

I despise Woody Allen, but this was one of the funniest ideas I've ever come across in the movie industry.

I agree. The original movie, in Japanese, was a Japanese version of a “James Bond” movie. But Allen’s wacky dialogue, in English, made the whole movie a farce.

My favorite line (I am paraphrasing) - “How bad are the bad guys? They are SO BAD, they murder, rape, pillage AND they ask for operator assistance for calls they could have easily dialed themselves.”

Did they ever find the recipe for a chicken salad sandwich?

Saw it fifty years ago, still remember it. Guy at the last was a great shot with a .25 cal pocket pistol! Nailed all the bad guys in one sitting!

Now if they could just get that hair caught in the projector out of the way.
