Are there multiple versions of movie 2 floating around? Because there used to be a site that made the pecular claim that the dub made Jirarudan gay because it changed the ear his earring was in in the shot where he's ascending on his chair. She offered a screenshot and it was in the opposite ear. So I checked my Japanese and English tapes and the earring was in the same ear in both.

Now, are there differing versions out there? Or was she just a really rabid anti-dubbie?
 
It is well-known that Movie 1 had two or three different versions. Movie 7 too. It's not entirely implausible to think that there are at least two versions of Movie 2. Though something like switching which ear has the earring seems a bit excessive... (But then again, all those CGI replacements could also be classed as superfluous.)

I think, if you have the VHS version, that would be the original film.
 
Dogasu has a list of changes bewteen the Theater and DVD version of movie 7. (The American DVD and Tv Premiere and Showing use the japanese theatrical version)

Basically they changes some things up, like changing the CG effects of stuff.
 
That really sounds strange ^^; I'll have to see what my Australian version captions him as then o_O

I hope to god they didn't decide to Autralianize it and call him Bruce or something.

Bruce... the collector! :0
 
I haven't heard of any alternate version of the second movie. Usually, the "This is Animation" art books have images from the theatrical versions of the films (since those books are printed before the DVD's are released in Japan), so you might try checking one of those and doing a comparison.

Sorry to disillusion you, but I only know one person named Bruce and he's an old retired maths teacher who lives across the road XD

Guys *and girls* Can we please stay on topic?

I haven't noticed anything changes in anything. (I need to catch up on my PM Movies), but as for Different versions i wouldnt put it past 4 kids to change somethings up before the American release.

Except, as I said, my English tape was identical to my Japanese tape here.`

Oh sorry, I must have missed that. I'm just as confused now as i was 5 minutes ago. I should do some research on it, for my own personal sanity.
