Backstroke of the West (Web Video)	comment	The war came! The republic encountered Two squares fight the vehemence The improbity fills the world The space general of the alliance is skillful Kidnap the D the speaker the conduct The proper abruption alliance troops tries Ratio prosperous drive with theStar War the Third Gathers: The Backstroke of the West is a Gag Dub of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It can be seen here.The dub's script originated from a memetic Recursive Translation/Translation Train Wreck found in China by blogger Jeremy Winterson. The name is taken from the translation of the opening crawl, the original being, obviously, "Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"; where the Chinese subtitles were then machine translated back into "Englsih". Most sentences are absolutely mangled in the translation, although some sentences still have their original meanings intact. It was later turned into a Gag Dub by the Youtube channel TheThirdGathers with clips posted beginning in 2010. In August 2021, director Timothy B Morgan began work on dubbing the only other known authentic full movie script, presumably found in China, Napoleon's Explosive (the mistranslation of Napoleon Dynamite), featuring some of the vocal actors who dubbed Backstroke of the West. This project was shelved when Backstroke of the West doubled its views on Gratefuldeadpool's upload of the full movie from 5 million to 10 million views in one year, with dozens of reaction videos. Morgan compiled and cut up these reaction videos into a 5 hour long supercut which follows the course of the movie, and at times contains uncanny moments of people asking the same questions or having similar reactions to a moment of the film. In the meantime, Reddit user "Koffikapp" stuck "gold" purchasing about 10 DVD's from China which contained full Chinglish subtitles of movies including 2 Harry Potter movies including the famous "Hally Porter" subtitles popularized years ago, Hannibal Lecter film The Red Dragon, Chicago, X-Men First Class, Phone Booth, Doubt, Tears of the Sun, and Star War Episope IV of which a few screencaps existed online and Morgan had hoped to persuade the Dub Gathers group to find in 2016, with no luck. Morgan, too long wanting to dub Hally Porter, shelved Napoleon Explosive and started casting and directing both. On February 28, 2024, The first scene of Hally Porter and the Door of the Room, Morgan's first movie since Backstroke of the West, was posted.As of February 2024, the GratefulDeadpool upload has over 12 million views. In 2021, following a copyright takedown which has since been retracted, the entire video became archived.Self-made Recursive Translations have been made of the other Star Wars movies in the series, collectively known as The Star War Gatherings, with a fandub of The Fourth Gathers: The Novelty Desirenote Episode IV: A New Hope and The Fifth Gathers: The Counterattack Collectionnote Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back both completed, clips and reaction videos of which can still be found. A new group of actors was cast for these movies, however a few Backstroke of the West actors, including Tom Schalk and Benjamin Pierce, did reprise their roles. Backstroke director Tim Morgan was involved only in assistance with casting and editing the scene where Ben returns as the West Emperor. These subtitles were created by Reddit users Knifeof Pi, Quirderph, and Rivercast. The dubs were directed by Quirderph, and are largely focused on Star Wars, employing a different, irreverent style. Morgan, having sat on the sidelines with no authentic bootlegs from China, is only now able to resume movie production.

Earlier on, Speaker D mentioned to Allah Gold that the public has an "eye ear," which apparently has a voice. Though you could also interpret that as him saying that they are facing the eye ear with their voices, not that this makes any more sense.

Allah Gold seems very conflicted about his impending fatherhood, since he dismissively tells The Plum Of "I do not need the child's help," then immediately proclaims proudly that "Our baby blesses god'sly." The D remarks that Allah Gold is â€œaffirmative to have doubted.â€� He also uses the phrase "a little bit much more." After The D encounters an injured Allah Gold, he tells the Shock Troopseses to "Grasp the person right away." They dutifully reply "Is, follow instructions!", but then just scamper away without doing anything. But the ultimate example of this might come from The Plum Of's medical examination.

Given the above, and Ratio Tile's comment that "Apparently I depraved", they don't believe in total depravity either. They may not even be Christian, given that their faith "is not to believe in a certain person." If they are Christian, their version of the Nicene Creed must use the phrase "Good of Good." Also applies to the title of the movie itself. At no point does anyone from the West perform any swimming, and the one person who does (Ratio Tile) doesn't do the backstroke.

Backstroke of the West (Web Video) / int_3c0a4666	comment	Noodle Incident: Apparently, there was some kind of fair the day before the movie began. For some reason, it's very important that it's now the day afterwards. Maybe that's where the good elephant comes from? Whatever Space General did to establish his reputation as "very deceitful" is never elaborated on. Unless it was in reference to the fact he's a fallen Hopeless Situation Warrior: that certainly would count as treachery. The Gets The Rice at one point tells Allah Gold that she "was pregnant," with accompanying dramatic music, implying a very dark plot twist, but the rest of the film proceeds to depict a relatively normal pregnancy culminating in the birth of two healthy babies. When summarizing a combat report that Allah Gold missed, Ratio mentions that he's apparently depraved. He doesn't elaborate and changes the subject quickly. Allah Gold apparently made some unspecified mistake in the past, which The Gets the Rice blames for starting the war. At one point, it's mentioned that, when Allah Gold was a child, Ratio Tile "did" his teacher. This is never brought up again or elaborated on.

He later speaks to Vanquish Is about the "dreamses" he's been having. At one point, Text How Big talks about the "troopseses." At the very end of the movie, the droids are referred to as "childses." The unexpected -es suffixing pops up in non-plural words as well. The Pudding commands Allah Gold, "Doing you needses must its matter", and Text How Big feels Allah Gold "cans not handles" the task of spying on The D.

Backstroke of the West (Web Video) / int_3eee0728	comment	Captain Obvious: One of Allah Gold's main character traits. Early on, he declares that "The beginning accelerates." Right before crash-landing half of Space General's airship that he, Speaker D, Ratio Tile and R2 are in. (Keep in mind that the ship is not only burning, the fire brigade have already arrived and started putting out the fire), he warns that "The temperature of our airship is too high." He explains his troubles with the Presbyterian Church to The Plum Of by telling her that "some matters took place." At the climax, he tells her "I can see your ship" while standing right in front of it. Ratio Tile at one point claims that, "We have to hurry to act now!" Vanquish Is announces that "The current time arrived."

Backstroke of the West (Web Video) / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: Speaker D. Revenge of the Sith heavily implies that Palpatine was the apprentice who murdered Darth Plagueis; here, Reach the Man was killed by his land, not by The D. It's also said that the war wasn't started by him, but by Allah Gold, meaning that The D might genuinely be a Well-Intentioned Extremist doing what he feels is necessary to end the conflict. It's still undeniable that he's not a good person: he causes the destruction of the Hopeless Situation Warriors, and he's every bit as ambitious and power-hungry as Palpatine, wanting to be aller strong and big than anyone. Similar to Speaker D above, Space General is also somewhat nicer to his underlings in this version besides a one-off threat to feed them dog. When the Abruption Doctrine leaders question his ability to keep them safe, he begs them to believe him rather than threaten them as he did in the original work, and when it looks like Ratio and Gold will escape capture on his airship, he urges his troops to escape. Vanquish Is is far more helpful to Gold than Yoda is to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. Evidently, Allah Gold told Vanquish Is about The Plum Of's pregnancy, judging by his/her "Pregnancy? Pregnancy." line, meaning that either the Hopless Situation Parliament has no rules against marriage like the Jedi Council did, or Vanquish Is is Gold's Secret-Keeper. Vanquish Is' advice also seems much more helpful than the Jedi platitudes Yoda spouts in the equivalent scene in Revenge of the Sith.

Backstroke of the West (Web Video) / int_8e9cf84e	comment	"Blind Idiot" Translation: People fluent in both languages have suggested that a recursive translation isn't enough to explain the trainwreck. They suspect that whoever translated the film into Chinese didn't have access to an actual script, as evidenced by some "translations" making sense only if you assume they misheard the original English, or they didn't pick up on it at all and made up a line they thought made sense in context. For example: "Just as Count Dooku predicted" becomes "Kill these two republics bodyguard." Yoda's line about "premonitions" became "Pregnancy? Pregnancy." The translator might not have known the word "premonition" or understood it to mean "pregnancy" - which makes sense, as The Plum Of's pregnancy is exactly what Allah Gold is worried about. Senator's casual comment that Blow the Skin "is my wife" may come from the translator mishearing Bail Organa's original line, "Have the protocol droid's mind wiped", as "The protocol droid is my wife." "Space General" seems to be a contextual name, deriving from the translator's not knowing or understanding the name "Grievous." Luke Skywalker's name is rendered as "See Me", which may derive from the translator hearing "look" instead of "Luke." The Sand People are referred to as "Pathetic People", which may derive from the translator hearing "sad people." "The front is a lemon avenue flying straightly" was originally "Landing strip straight ahead", and it may be that the translator heard "landing strip" as "lemon street." Allah Gold saying he was "made by the Presbyterian Church" may have been trying to say he was "mad" at them, but the line was mangled by a spelling and/or grammatical error.

Backstroke of the West (Web Video) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Allah Gold asks the Ratio Tile "Is you make the ghost?" while on the Space General's airship. While the Ratio denies this, it could be foreshadowing Obi-Wan's eventual becoming into a Force ghost in the canon films. Alternatively, it could be a reference to that ship used by a crew of resistance fighters he would later hunt down as Reaches. It did include a few Hopeless Situations, after all. Though Ratio was not among them. (This would've truly been an example of this trope if this had been the case. This translation was made years before Rebels.) Space General also makes a reference to Ratio Tile dying to settle an unspecified struggle. This could be a reference to Obi-Wan's death in A New Hope. Similarly, Ratio Tile's declaration that he "was old" may be referencing the achronological release order of the Star Wars films by acknowledging that A New Hope takes place much later in Obi-Wan's life. When D tells Allah Gold about Reaching The Man Cloth Space, Gold jumps to the conclusion that "In fact he can come back from the brink of death," which is what Gold/Reaches himself does at the end of the film.

While supposedly less badass, instead of trying to get the duo to surrender their swords, he confidently goads them into pulling them out for battle and dedicating their bodies as if obsessed with lightsaber dueling and human sacrifices.

After his turn to the Black Influence, he is referred to as "The Peaceful Is Willing To" by the Hopeless Situation Warriors, or "Reaching the West of Reaches" by Speaker D aka West Emperor. Yoda calls him "A Line." Several times, The Plum Of calls him simply "Line." Ratio also called him "Line" at the start. Obi-Wan is alternately called "The Willing to Compares" and "Ratio the Tile." The opening scroll also calls him "Ratio Prosperous." A Presbyterian Church Elder calls him "Card Ratio." Commanding Officer calls him "The Section pulIs the Ratio." Senator calls him, "The compares the willing to Ratio." Blow the Skin calls him, "The willing to compares host." Palpatine is usually known as D the speaker/the speaker D/speaker/Mr. speaker. He calls himself "the member of senate" and "the governor of this city" once each. His alter ego, Darth Sidious, is known as west emperor or simply emperor. His henchmen refer to him as host, or "my host".

Explanation This is a well-known "feature" of Chinese-to-English translation software of yore, in which the Chinese character for "dry" or "do" (å¹²) is extremely prone to being mistranslated to a certain famous English profanity, as it happens that the verb "to do" in Chinese has the exact same vulgar double meaning as in English.

Later on, his troopseses refer to him by the title of "Big King." Allah Gold also does this. He starts out as a Hopeless Situation Warrior. Then Speaker D inducts him into an unspecified military as a private (though he also describes it as a civilian office). This also makes Gold eligible to become an Elder. The Parliament accepts this, but does not grant him the title in retaliation for his "long peace". Then he becomes Reaching the West of Reaches then South Host. Ratio Tile is another example, perhaps. The opening scroll calls him "Ratio prosperous." Next, Allah Gold calls him "teacher" though later on he's just "master." As he declares everybody is good to the large robot army, Space General yells "Section Ratio General."
