Jul. 27th, 2025 01:37 pmStephen King's The Shining: the boy is supposed to be walking around saying "Red rum" (opposite of "murder"). The Russian translation ends up being funny because the opposite of "ubiystvo" is "ovts yibu", which sounds an awful lot like "[I] fuck sheep". Reportedly, King laughed his ass off after learning about this. The Russian dub of the movie keeps the potentially funny/scandalous translation.
