Changes: Speedy dub

Revision as of 01:18, 28 June 2018

The Speedy dub (also known as the Malaysian dub or Malaysian-English dub) is an English dub for the Dragon Ball movies. The dub is notorious among Dragon Ball fans due to its poor acting, limited pool of voice actors, and improper grammar just to list a few.

History

According to TheApolloDubArchive, a company in Malaysia named Speedy Video Distributors Sdn. Bhd. (The latter two words, “Sendirian Berhad” meaning “Private Limited”) released dubs of the second and third Dragon Ball movies, all thirteen Dragon Ball Z movies, and the 1996 10th Anniversary Dragon Ball movie on VCD throughout stores in Malaysia. Speedy also sold VCDs of the first Dragon Ball movie and the first Dragon Ball Z movie using the 1995 and 1998 dubs, respectively, although they never dubbed the former themselves.^[1]

Other releases are known to contain episodes from both the unedited Japanese version and the edited English version of Dragon Ball Z, and there are also a few discs that contain some episodes of Dragon Ball. Speedy even began to release Dragon Ball Z dubbed internally, releasing six VCD volumes with two episodes apiece.

Script changes

Many edits were made to the names of characters and objects. "Saiyan" was translated as "Saiya People," a literal translation of the Japanese Saiya-Jin, "Saiyas", "Saiya Person", or "Saiya Mans." Goku was called "Sangoku" and in Bojack Unbound and Fusion Reborn, "Gohan." The Tree of Might was referred to as the "Shinray Tree," Turles was called "Tarés," Vegeta was called "Bezita" or, in Fusion Reborn, "Beta," the former being from the Kunrei Shiki romanization of his Japanese name while the latter being from his Chinese dub name. Frieza was called "Freeza", "Freela" or, in Fusion Reborn, "Fei Ley," as his Cantonese dub name. Goten was called "Paco" or "Gokou," and Cooler was called "Kuralla". Videl's name was changed to "Kami" in Bio-Broly and Goten's to "Goku." In Fusion Reborn, Pikkon's name was changed to Piccolo, and Janemba's to "Big Head". In Bojack Unbound almost every character's name was changed with the exception of Mr. Satan, as Speedy had used the Hong Kong-based Cantonese dub as a source.

Names used in Bojack Unbound:

Infinite Hands (Krillin)
Dorangaso (Trunks, a transliteration of his Japanese name Torankusu and Cantonese name Duraigaxi)
Uncle Motong (Piccolo, from one of his Chinese names: Dízi Mótóng)

-Very little is known about the origins of this dub other than it was recorded in the mid to late 90's somewhere in Malaysia, and that it was distributed on VCD by Speedy Video Distributors Sdn. Bhd., which is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This dub is notorious among ''Dragon Ball'' fans due to its poor acting, small cast of voice actors, bad grammar, and many more problems, and is considered by some to be even worse than the [[AB Groupe dub]]. It has often been confused with another English dub broadcast in the Philippines by Creative Products Corporation.
