T2 was rated 15. Strangely enough my DVD of T1 also has that rating although I`m sure I remember the video having an 18 rating.

With a 15 rating I doubt it did have much of that kind of language.

Really? Which country are you in?

The real problem comes up when you are trying to decide what to make a Vasudan pilot say. The translators will not translate vasudan curses and slang, so something else must be used there. I have a mission where I need a vasudan guy to exclaim "what the ****" or something to that effect, but it must be rephrased. I was thinking about "what in the world," but that sounds weird for space-faring beings to say, although "what the..." might work.

[diamondgeezer]

Try

What the *untranslatable*...

[an0n]

Pffff. The FS pilots swore far too little considering they were being shot at by a race of wierd-ass aliens with superior offensive and defensive systems.

What the ****? My ML-16 is just bouncing right off it

ARGH! My ****ing shields!!!!!

Die, you pentapedal, sociopathic ****-stain!

[diamondgeezer]

Erm... yes... I was thinking of something a little more subtle than that... I mean, fair enough, the pilots'd be making with the colourful lingo, but given the number of people here who object to profanity for whatever reasons they have I thought perhaps I should make some effort to keep it rated 'Teen'...

Don't worry an0n, I'll do a special swear-tastic version, just for you and Shrike

[Goober5000]

Maybe you could leave all the swearing up to the Vasudans, and do it in a funny way, like CP5670 and diamondgeezer were saying.



Imagine listening to a translation...you hear the Vasudan voice in the background blurting something very loudly and energetically, and the translator just mechanically says "Excrement."

[Star Dragon]

The phrase is literally translated: S.O.B.
Vasudan: look out!  (Male offspring of a female Canine mammal)

wierd huh?

Swearing should never become a 'lost art' of expression. look at the feeble attempt of Kirk to blend in with the 20th centrury.

"Double dumb ass on you!" PLEASE! Give me a break.

Spock on the other hand logically did research and became fairly proficient in the "colorful Euphanisims"...

"One Damn minute admiral" , "The hell I wont!"

Good for you Spock, represent!

UK same as you. I remember that I found it funny at the time, cause the kid who played John Connor was 14 and therefore wasn`t allowed to attend the premier

ROFLMAO!

I think you should look at the poll results not as "51% say to include swearing, and 49% not to", but as "51% don't mind swearing at all, while 49% do have issues of varying degrees with it".

[Shiva Archon]

Swearing within context is an excellent way to convey a pilot's emotions.  Face it, there's no "substitute" word that has the same effect.  In a real situation, if a pilot is scared ****less, he's gonna curse.  I hate it when watching movies like Predator and Aliens on a "non-swearing" channel on TV.  The whole movie just seems...dumber.  

Put in all the swearing that you need.  Don't put it in just for the hell of it, and the mission will seem a lot cooler, more realistic, and definitely more serious.

[diamondgeezer]

OK, for all you politely-spoken people out there - d/l this clip and tell me if it would have worked without the swearing (it's just shy of 5 megs, and it's on the FilePlanet old servers, so hopefully no queueing)

[diamondgeezer]

That'll be a double post, then.

My bad

[Sesquipedalian]

Vasudans in SA have been known to curse with "By the Prophets" and other religious or quasi-religious sayings.  

Maybe it doesn't sound that emotional or offensive to you Terrans, but to us Vasudans it is a most powerful utterance.

[Star Dragon]

So now we know how Vasudans swear...

   I beg to ask how do Shivans swear?

  Is it using negative qualities attributed to food?

"This food is ROTTEN!"
"That creature made me SICK TO MY STOMACH(S)?!"

Carl please enlighten us

Downloaded fine, but won't play...always shows "Buffering (0%)"

[diamondgeezer]

Works fine here. I assume you have half a dozen different movie players you can try, like the rest of us...
