The other night a few mates were discussing Science Fiction Sports films as a genre (yes, it was pointed out at the time that we are a bit special) other than Rollerball. We came up with a few. Mad Max 3, Deathrace, Arena, Running Man, TRON and several others. Anyway, it reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_8iztLC_Vw Which is obviously ripe for being turned into the centre piece of some sort of crazy dystopian film. That video reminded another friend of this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416611/ Pole Toppling aka Bo Taoshi Which he has on DVD and says is fucking great!! but he doesn't have the subs. So the question is - does anyone know where we might be able to find some subs? Fan or otherwise? edit: Also the sequel to this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139645/ The Virgin Wildsides 2, no imdb page for it, but he reckons there's a double bill dvd of both Virgin Wildsides out in Japan, presumably without subs though. He'll pay cash money (or paypal money I guess )
Subtitles for dvd rips are usually '.srt' files and there's a pretty active community of fan subtitle transcriptors. You might have to import the dvd or get a digital copy that's compatible... or start learning Japanese. Those should give you some starting points for search terms. I'd do it myself if I was at a keyboard instead of a touch screen.
I have looked in "the usual places" with no luck. And though I didn't personally consider doing a .srt search, just have an there's nothing but thank you for the suggestion, sometimes it's easy to over look the most obvious.
