keba 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Anyone know if any Japanese TV stations are running reruns of Takeshi's Castle? I've been watching MXC on Channel V here in Oz, and would love to see the original program, without the (very funny and not entirely accurate) English dubbing when I get to Hakuba in January.

tsondaboy 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Funny, some friend back home (Greece) was asking me about the same thing. Its being broadcasted in Greece this winter. My girlfriend says that this program was on J-TV something like 15 years ago... Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I hope the Greek dubbing added the same humourous touches to the dialogue, it cracks me up I'm sure the original was never as funny... Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 What is Takeshis Castle? I don't think I've ever seen that one. Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 It's a classic Japanese game show, where a large number of contestants have to complete a series of physical challenges until they are eliminated down to the last person. The Americans took it and dubbed some very bad translation over it, and cut out a lot of the content, calling it Most Extreme Elimination (MXC), which is very funny, but I'd like to see it in its original format, if I can get the chance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi%27s_Castle Link to post Share on other sites
