Heh. I mean that at times, Spalko was speaking English, but her accent was so heavy that I misunderstood and thought she was speaking Russian. Other times she was indeed speaking Russian, but it sounded like it was English with a heavy Russian accent.

There are a couple of examples of this, especially where the score was amplified or there were other voices or gunfire, where Spalko sounds like she's saying something in English, but it is Russian and vice versa.

Chapter 8: "Old Friends & Enemies"

Dovchenko: "Previdite professora!" = "Bring the professor!"

Indy: "Nyet" = "No"

Irina: "Prividite zhenshenu!" = "Bring the woman!"

I know. When I first saw the teaser trailer, in the famous shot of Spalko pointing rapidly just before Indy swings off the crates, I thought she said "Don't let him go!"

But I had no problem with the accent. I could understand her English. Excellent job, Cate!!! :hat:

BTW, I am now going to imagine the two "bricks" screaming "Mommy Dearest!!!" every time that Brody-statue-crash comes up in viewings. Man, that is heeeeeeee-larious!!! I love it! More corny fun!

In the Valentine's Day teaser trailer, they dubbed in the English line "Go cut him off!"...so you heard correctly, sorta!

Chapter 9: "A Truth Revealed"

Irina:

Soldier:

Soldiers: (Not sure if any of that dialogue in the distance can be made out, but including it just in case)

The Golden Idol · Jan 4, 2009

Chapter 9: "A Truth Revealed"

Irina: "Bumagu, karandash!" = "Paper, pencil!"

Irina: "Kartu!" = "A map!"

Soldier: "Pashli, bistrey, bistrey!" = "Let's go, quick, quick!"

Dovchenko: "Idite tuda! Schivilite kapitami, skoreye, skoreye!" = "Go there! Move your hooves, faster, faster!"

Agent Z · Jan 4, 2009

"Move your hooves"?! Eh?

Golden Idol is up to the task and I need to get my proverbial hooves faster to the turf it seems! :hat:

The remaining chapters coming later today!

Agent Z · Jan 5, 2009

Chapter 10: "Family Squabble"

Dovchenko: (Tough to catch, it seems....)

Soldiers: (more "Mommy Dearest!" action?!

)

Irina:

Dovchenko; (I had to sorta cheat on this screencap, cause if I paused it when Dovchenko actually spoke, the forum would be filled with catcalls and whistles...)

Irina:

Chapter 11: "Big Damn Ants"

Irina:

Dovchenko: (He's there, underneath the ant carpet :dead:

)

Soldier:

Soldiers:

Chapter 10: "Family Squabble"

Dovchenko: "Tak, tak" = "There, now"

BTW, it's not the soothing kind of "There, now", just so you know.

Soldiers: I honestly couldn't catch this one. My apologies. But it is basically more "Mommy Dearest!" action.

Irina: "Von otsuda!" = "[Let's] get outta here!"

Irina: "Vasmite cherip!" = "Take the skull!"

Irina: "On yedit!" = "He's driving!"

Dovchenko: "Kuda? Ti! Stayat!" = "Where [are you going]? You! Stand still!"

As Irina Spalko is shooting at our heroes, a Russian soldier says "Von oni, sleva!" = "There they are, on the left!"

Irina: "Chort!" = "Damn!"

Chort literally means "demon", but it's used as an expression, similar to the English "damn!"

The Golden Idol · Jan 8, 2009

Chapter 11: "Big Damn Ants"

Irina: "Schivelitis!" = "Move!"

Irina: "Do svidanya, Doctor Jones" = "Goodbye, Doctor Jones"

Literally, do svedanya means "Until we meet again", but it's basically "goodbye."

Irina: "Dagnat!" = "Catch up [to them]!"

Dovchenko: "Pomogite! Pomogite!" = "Help me! Help me!"

I actually feel sorry for the big brute here.

Soldier: "Tavarish doktor, suda!" = "Comrade doctor, over here!"

Soldier: "Skorei, davai, skorei, skorei, skorei!" = "Quicker, come on, quicker, quicker, quicker!"

Soldiers: "Davai, davai, davai, dvigai, davai, privazivai! Stoy! Davai, smeleye!" = "Come on, come on, come on, move it, come on, tie it! Wait! Come on, go ahead!"

Irina: "Davai!" = "Come on!"

Fun fact: The word BOДA means "water" in Russian.

Agent Z, where art thou?

The Golden Idol · Jan 10, 2009

Agent Z, you still interested?

Hmmm, I like the literal translation better, you know. It's like Irina acknowledges, to some extent, that Indy is too good an adversary for this to simply just end at this point.

I do as well.

Like Irina, it could be argued that the villains in Kingdom are too likeable and engaging...almost as much as the heroes....to the point where it feels more depressing to see them meet their respective ends.

Ahhh, cool! I love that you catch all these details! How many times I have seen this film and never caught that! I was distracted, so caught up with the GIANT SPINNING BLADE OF MOMMY DEAREST DEATH!!! :dead:

Sorry, sorry! My schedule as of late has been hectic and I haven't been able to check in as often as I would have liked.

I do have some more input, possibly, for later...but, in terms of going by chapters, sadly enough, everything has been covered.

I have been mistaken before, but Irina and the soldiers preparing to descend down the side of the cliff is the last spoken Russian in the film.

I think that's one of the weaknesses of the film. I never hate Irina or the Russians the way I hated Toht, Dietrich, Mola Ram and Vogel in the other movies.

Bummer. Well, it's been cool working with you, Z.

Maybe you'll need some other "fun facts" from the movie, such as any Russian writing, like BOДA? If you need me, just post.

I know, I am already missing this thread and working with you kind Sir.

I'm sure other little nuggets will pop up along the way though.

I mean, we haven't even discussed the wavering legitimacy of "Spalko" even being an actual Russian surname...

You are too kind! Really! :hat:

I think, what I need help with most right now is my tin ear, as I still hear:

"Sandwich, sandwich, sandwich!"

It's Ukranian.

LOL! Well, "Sandwich, sandwich, sandwich!" is close enough.

Ahhh, thanks!

And, ironically enough, we have this...

The Golden Idol said:

*LOL* Seriously, I can't get anything other than that "s" sound when I hear it, heh.

On a sidenote, and this probably deserves its own thread, but Harrison's "my-thical" in the diner reading.

No, really.....that was a "Cut! Great! Thanks everyone!" from Steven after hearing that from Ford's mouth?!

Agent Z · Mar 7, 2009

Oh, Golden Idol, we stole you away for this thread when the stakes were much higher elsewhere.

Rocket Surgeon · Mar 10, 2009

I'm reading the shooting script right now, and so far ALL the Russian is typed AND translated. Let me know if you want it posted.
