Also, iunno if it’s all those dubbed over westerns I’ve seen, but it didn’t really bother me at all.
I just think it was taken a bit too far. Didn’t so much capture the cheesy charm as deliver cheesy lines terribly. Still, good stuff.
I think I was so off-put by the dubbing because I wasn’t expecting it. I mean it was still a bit odd, but towards the end it was more bearable since I knew it was happening.
