‘Backstroke of the West’ is the name for Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, found in bootleg copies sold in China. Talk about ‘Lost in Translation’, man!!

I don’t know who did the translations for the sub-titles, but it is obvious that it was first translated into Chinese, and then translated again back into English. This has been around for awhile, and here are some of the choiciest shots I have collected from sites on the Internet and made into a slide show for all to enjoy.

Have fun.

Gee, I must be damned slow and outdated. This has been going on for a quite awhile, since 12-12-2004, started by an 19 year-old American guy Gary Brolsma making a video of himself lip-syncing the song Dragostea Din Tei from the Romanian group O-zone.

Here’s the very original from the maestro, the Darth Birdyz nominated ‘American I-duh’, Gary Brolsma, who started it all.

(And I am sorry you can’t view it ever if you don’t have the Macromedia Shockwave or Flash plug-ins. Too bad for you.)

Ever since it has spawned many copy cats. You can find more imitators here.

And by the way, if you want to imitate, it’s supposed to be funny, not disgusting. I have seen one from a ‘Steven Lim’ in Singapore and am utterly digusted. For starters, put on your shirt, and close the blasted cabinet in your own room! Don’t ‘xiasuay’ all of us Singaporeans. You don’t want face, I still want face, geddit?

Kudos to the genius who created this.
