We see Thai and Indonesian versions of movies around in this part of the world and I don't know if you have ever seen a Thai copy of an American Blockbuster...but the language is English as the original film and the quality just as good, however the English optional subtitles are typed by horribly linguistically challenged Thais who tend to type phonetically with absolutely no knowledge of English and often there will be a gap of several minutes between each typed sentence appearing on screen. Hilarious.
