The best bootleg DVD I ever saw was for the first Lord of the Rings film - which was still in cinema at the time - on a craptacular DVD from Bali, complete with a decent motion menu, yet once you hit play you ended up watching AN EPISODE OF HERCULES STARRING KEVIN SORBO. Best bootleg EVER.
Fun fact: The IMAX version of Attack of the Clones had around 26 minutes cut, and according to eyewitnesses, it was primarily Anakin-Padmé scenes that were cut. So there actually is a version of Attack of the Clones with less Hayden Christensen.
KillThad It was mainly cut down due to the platter limits of 70mm IMAX projectors at the time. They also for some reason decided to crop the image to fill the IMAX screen.
@@MysteryMii not as bad as the American "fullscreen" version (aka the 4:3 cut) where they just cut the sides off the entire film without making any attempt at creating a watchable pan & scan. Think someone as Lucas Film didn't think it was worth putting effort into the 4:3 release when widescreen TVs existed
I kind of want a downloadable version of that knock-off Star Wars music. That "we're going to build up the music like it's official, then let you down" works so perfectly.
+Akio Music there is this new thing called uploading. its basically just putting something thats called a RECORDING and other stuff up on the internet so other people can enjoy it. have a nice day
+Caldella I'm sure you can get it somewhere. Cinemark actually used it for their in-house commercials for those special Star Wars VII 3D glasses, so I'm sure you can find it somewhere. Try searching for "free use star wars theme" and see what comes up. Edit: word salad
I am an author. I felt so proud the first time I saw one of my books being pirated. ...It was a free book. Now, you can find most my books being pirated but I still crack up over the fact that the first book was an already free book.
So Dr Ashen has made a career out of reviewing cheap knockoff tat, only for there to ultimately be cheap knockoff tat related directly to himself. We've come full circle, people.
1:38 Just for fun, I watched this part again but with the video muted and the actual Star Wars title music playing in the background. Believe it or not, the speed of the text is incredibly accurate to the real thing! Well done!
So... The original was for the gamechild which was a bootleg gameboy, and the bootleg of the movie is for the original true gameboy. The Matrix has failed.

9:11 Unrated version on a "PG" rated DVD? Fun fact: My dad can't tell the difference between real and fake DVDs and he brought my a Shrek the Third DVD, which I spotted as a fake the second I looked at it. It had the Dreamworks logo which you would expect, but for some reason it had down the bottom the Activision logo and the ESRB game rating too.
I am crying laughing right now. Episo pe II was hilarious enough on its own, but on top of that, the first word of the synopsis is "impribity"? That is comedy gold. I NEED a copy of this DVD. Badly.
I used to have a pirate copy of xmen origins wolverine. It wasn't the finished copy though it was the working copy with all the halved finished CGI. I watched it & it was hilarious.
My dad once picked up a pirated copy of Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. For the actual disc they had just used a standard CD-R and to clarify what film it was glued a small picture of the cover of the actual DVD to it. Pure Genius.
I love how "Die Another Da" was apparently produced by "Cbarbara Broccoli Callum McDougall Anthony Waye Michael G. Wilson". I wonder if she's friends with Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla?
In China, UA-cam is blocked, and even if you get around it with a proxy, international speeds are terrible, and it would take a long time to download. Streaming as you watch definitely wouldn't work. Official movies are banned, with few exceptions. That's why people still buy cheap pirate DVDs.
The Chinglish text on Star Wars "Episo pe II" is like Backstroke of the West with things like Anakin being called "anner the gold" and Obi-Wan Kenobi being "ratio-king kano."
I have a bootleg copy of Spider-Man (I don't want to send it it, but maybe I'll Rip It) It is just the movie recorded from a theater, and the movie has a completely off subtitle track, it seems like a Google translation of the Chinese track. "remember the bigger your right the heavier your responsibility will be" and "I have a car get in Maybe there is something interesting"

After seeing numerous people whining about Stuart bringing other people onto vids - that weird irrational phobia to any and all change that a lot of internet-dwellers seem to have - I want Stuart to do nothing but feature guests from now on. Purely to force the dipshit brigade to leave and allow normal people to keep enjoying his videos. It's not just Ashens either, every video producer suffers from this nonsense. People who become fans because of a particular video, then expect every subsequent video to be exactly the same as the one that got them hooked. It's so bizarre to see people actively wanting a producer to stagnate and grow bored due to lack of variety.
Paul Dennett I personally really enjoyed the guy Stuart brought over this time myself. A bit better than the guy he brings over for food, actually, but he's still alright in his own ways.
The back of Episope II... It's like someone wrote the crawl text in Setswana, Google translated it with the beta for that language... and was then phonetically copied by a Dane who listened to an English travel disc once.
I have to wonder, did anyone ever claim the reward for getting them the actual disc for the bootleg Ashens and the Quest for the Game Child? If so, what was the reward?
RobDaVideoGamer It could be rather funny. Just look-up "Backstroke of the West" for one such example (a Chinese boot-leg of Star Wars Episode III with really bad English subtitles).
when i was iraq, i bought a bootleg of mission impossible 3. It was, i swear to god, a man filming a tv playing a bootleg of someone filming the actual movie. BOOTCEPTION!
I actually have a pirate of Attack of the Clones as well, and it's got the same text on the back, but... spelled correctly. It's the same paragraph, but all the actual words are spelled correctly. Well, most of them; "Faceses" is preserved, thankfully. In some cases it's actually funnier because it refers to Amidala as "the aegis amydala the rice". It also features the credits for Disney's The Kid on the back cover, but filled with typos and with the wrong parts written in large print most of the time. It seems to star my favorite actor, Lilytomlin Chimcrride, and the music is apparently by Marc Shaiman Costumes (presumably they ran out of budget and needed to get the guy running the costume store down the street to make some little jingles on GarageBand). It has a copyright infringement warning (or Waring, as it's spelled), which states that the disc is "For sale or rental only by authorized sublicnsees of Wamer Home Video" and that "Violators will be rosocuted". But the best bit is that on the case's spine and on the disc, it says WARS STAR II. The title's *two words* and they still got it wrong! I'm sad it has no subtitles, though. There's a semi-famous pirate of Revenge of the Sith that has the entire movie in hilarious Engrish subtitles, called Backstroke of the West. I was hoping this would be the same type of thing as that but with Attack of the Clones instead. ***** , are the subtitles on that disc written in Engrish like the back? If this is anything like Backstroke of the West, you might have comedy gold right there.
When I was a kid I obtained a bootleg of the John Cusac classic, 2012, from Mexico. The movie itself was your standard bootleg quality. The subtitles were a trip, though. They were in Spanish and English. The English ones appeared every once in a while, like the subbers just kind of forgot that they were supposed to sub the movie so random text was thrown in here and there with no regards to context or punctuation. The Spanish ones, most of the time, had nothing to do with the dialogue from the movie. It's like they made up their own impromptu Spanish dialogue to fit what was happening on the screen. The scene in the beginning where the ship salesman is trying to get the Arabic guy to buy tickets for the ship, the Arabic guy says "$1 billion is a lot of money." And the salesman says "I'm afraid the amount is in Euros, your highness" the spanish subs said "$1 million dollars is too much money" and the response was " that is just what is required" I loved it.
the Paul Bettany special feature on the first DVD makes more sense now since he was in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Also, Ibarra is a city in Ecuador, and a few of those random names are real people. I think the person making the back cover just threw whatever they felt like on there.
Thank you so much for showing the title screen. I’m so curious when I see these how the quality would be. I have picked up some DVDs and CDs myself based on the hilarity of the translations on the covers, or the cover itself. It’s fun, like collecting coins or something.
I actually have a pretty bizarre one. I have a disc that contains three movies from late 2003 and it came in a big long case. The movies were Cat in the Hat, Looney Tunes Back in Action and some film I can't remember the name of about alien dogs. The menu was fairly basic, just a blue background where you could select the movie by scrolling over the image of the poster they used for it. The quality itself was actually very good.
From my own experience as a pirate DVD conneseur (mostly reading up on them online, I assure you), I have come to learn that for whatever reason, a lot of pirate DVD makers like to put on their DVD covers the special features or credits lists from Knight's Tale and Lady In The Water. They use other ones on occasion, but every third or so pirated DVD you will come across from around the mid-2000's to early 2010's will do that. I really have no idea what the preference is. Availability, maybe?
Serana *snrk* I actually have only three pirated DVD's, all of them picked up at a local flea market. One of which is a copy of "300" with "Backstroke of the West"-quality subtitles. It is surprisingly difficult to find pirated DVDs where I live, since I live in a pretty rural, small town area. Oh. Forgot to mention. The back of that DVD cover also has "Lady In The Water" credits.
Most of my DVDs are pirated like that. I've literally have an entire box of them that includes all the home alone movies and Barbie movies up to 2005. Malaysia, I love ya.
"Leaving his face looking like an Ian." And now I have the mental image of one of my coworkers, coincidentally named Ian, appearing in Die Another Da. He definitely has a face that looks like an Ian. It is a good face, VERY Ian indeed.
Wow... the synopsis of that bootleg Star Wars DVD was some pretty spectacular gibberish. My brain hurt and my eyes went on strike for several minutes! I need glasses now.
I like how worried Ashens always is about copyright infringements, going bonkers when a commercially availible song pops up on a device or radio, but now reviews pirated movies and uses the Star Wars intro. :D
Dennis de Ruiter Yes. I've heard the theme a million times so I know it like the back of my hand but I will admit. That sound alike sounded very much alike.
Oda Swifteye I'd say the fact that the facsimile sounded just slightly off/wrong fit the "crap knockoff" vibe perfectly and made the whole thing funnier than it would've been with the actual Star Wars theme.
Pirated Russian VHS films were a huge part of my childhood because I lived in Finland near the Russian border. Those pirated films were really funny to watch because the Finnish subtitles were full of funny errors. Also they replaced the dialoque with a one man who spoke everything in Russian.
After watching this I think my parents have bought tons of fake versions of movies without ever knowing (or caring) definitely going to have a peak at our movie shelf someday.
Reminds me of the bargain bin DVDs we get at Walmart and the dollar stores, I even managed to score a copy of Diacron 5 (under its Space Transformers moniker). Fun times, horrible prints, drinking game fodder.
In Jordan the DVDs I got came in those bags but they didn't even bother to put a DVD menu on the disc just a black screen with the title of the movie as the only option. They also didn't even print a cover on the disc they just put the DVD-R (and sometimes CD-R) in there so if you were using a folder you had to write on the disc what the movie was.The worst is when they used black DVD-Rs so when you went to write what movie it was you had to write on the disc then when you went to check the disc you put it up to the light and see the ink in the reflection. I don't miss those days.
Munchiemox it's getting a little obnoxious. I'm not sure what the deal is. Is it a joke? Is he trying to subliminally sell us bald bearded men? what does it mean!?
Ross Bishop Munchiemox That's Mentski - worth subbing to if you like gaming channels, oh and I'm hoping this is leading to a cross over vid at some point!
You have to admit though they got the dvd menu music right on the game child. It seems like the kind of music Ashens would use in one of his videos lol

Noelshi Pico likely very many angry racist nerd rants under the guise of reviews, judging by the internet's initial response
_James Bond_ featuring James Bond...
...doesn't get much better than that!
Did anyone else notice that the Star Wars Episode 2 pirate uses the Episode 1 main menu?
did you notice it says Star Wars II The Phantom Menace?
This whole menu screen is a mess!
I'm willing to bet that the English subtitles are pretty bad.
Oh god, I don't even want to know.
RobDaVideoGamer It could be rather funny. Just look-up "Backstroke of the West" for one such example (a Chinese boot-leg of Star Wars Episode III with really bad English subtitles).
the menu for star wars reads" episode 2 the phantom menace" lol
Oh yeah hahah no one noticed.
when i was iraq, i bought a bootleg of mission impossible 3. It was, i swear to god, a man filming a tv playing a bootleg of someone filming the actual movie. BOOTCEPTION!
I almost died at the crawl. Whoever wrote that deserves an Oscar.
I actually have a pirate of Attack of the Clones as well, and it's got the same text on the back, but... spelled correctly. It's the same paragraph, but all the actual words are spelled correctly. Well, most of them; "Faceses" is preserved, thankfully. In some cases it's actually funnier because it refers to Amidala as "the aegis amydala the rice".
It also features the credits for Disney's The Kid on the back cover, but filled with typos and with the wrong parts written in large print most of the time. It seems to star my favorite actor, Lilytomlin Chimcrride, and the music is apparently by Marc Shaiman Costumes (presumably they ran out of budget and needed to get the guy running the costume store down the street to make some little jingles on GarageBand).
It has a copyright infringement warning (or Waring, as it's spelled), which states that the disc is "For sale or rental only by authorized sublicnsees of Wamer Home Video" and that "Violators will be rosocuted".
But the best bit is that on the case's spine and on the disc, it says WARS STAR II. The title's *two words* and they still got it wrong!
I'm sad it has no subtitles, though. There's a semi-famous pirate of Revenge of the Sith that has the entire movie in hilarious Engrish subtitles, called Backstroke of the West. I was hoping this would be the same type of thing as that but with Attack of the Clones instead. ***** , are the subtitles on that disc written in Engrish like the back? If this is anything like Backstroke of the West, you might have comedy gold right there.
When I was a kid I obtained a bootleg of the John Cusac classic, 2012, from Mexico. The movie itself was your standard bootleg quality. The subtitles were a trip, though. They were in Spanish and English. The English ones appeared every once in a while, like the subbers just kind of forgot that they were supposed to sub the movie so random text was thrown in here and there with no regards to context or punctuation. The Spanish ones, most of the time, had nothing to do with the dialogue from the movie. It's like they made up their own impromptu Spanish dialogue to fit what was happening on the screen. The scene in the beginning where the ship salesman is trying to get the Arabic guy to buy tickets for the ship, the Arabic guy says "$1 billion is a lot of money." And the salesman says "I'm afraid the amount is in Euros, your highness" the spanish subs said "$1 million dollars is too much money" and the response was " that is just what is required"
I loved it.
I used to have a bootleg of Silent Hill. It was missing a whole part after the Ash Baby scene. It suddenly cuts to Rose in the school.
In Turkey there are shops full of pirate DVDs, including titles just out in the cinema.
the Paul Bettany special feature on the first DVD makes more sense now since he was in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Also, Ibarra is a city in Ecuador, and a few of those random names are real people. I think the person making the back cover just threw whatever they felt like on there.
I hate sand...

Adamfreeksack 03 Not watched Episode II huh
Even.Ways Music you comment didn't explain anything -_-
Adamfreeksack 03 Well.. If you have ever watched Episode II or are a Star Wars fan for that matter then you'd know what I was talking about
Even.Ways Music ...storm
Thank you so much for showing the title screen. I’m so curious when I see these how the quality would be. I have picked up some DVDs and CDs myself based on the hilarity of the translations on the covers, or the cover itself. It’s fun, like collecting coins or something.
This video is so "Classic Ashens" it makes me smile
That Epis ope II crawl text still makes more sense than anything we're hearing in the run up to the UK General Election...
Don't you just love it whenever you buy a DVD and it has both the PG version, and the R rated version on the same disc?
I actually have a pretty bizarre one. I have a disc that contains three movies from late 2003 and it came in a big long case. The movies were Cat in the Hat, Looney Tunes Back in Action and some film I can't remember the name of about alien dogs.
The menu was fairly basic, just a blue background where you could select the movie by scrolling over the image of the poster they used for it.
The quality itself was actually very good.
“Alien dogs”? Is it Good Boy?
I love how the Attack Of The Clones package says it has English and French language options, but actually has English and Chinese.
From my own experience as a pirate DVD conneseur (mostly reading up on them online, I assure you), I have come to learn that for whatever reason, a lot of pirate DVD makers like to put on their DVD covers the special features or credits lists from Knight's Tale and Lady In The Water. They use other ones on occasion, but every third or so pirated DVD you will come across from around the mid-2000's to early 2010's will do that.
I really have no idea what the preference is. Availability, maybe?
"mostly reading up on them online, I assure you". Uh-huh.
Serana *snrk* I actually have only three pirated DVD's, all of them picked up at a local flea market. One of which is a copy of "300" with "Backstroke of the West"-quality subtitles. It is surprisingly difficult to find pirated DVDs where I live, since I live in a pretty rural, small town area.
Oh. Forgot to mention. The back of that DVD cover also has "Lady In The Water" credits.
WoobooRidesAgain 300 with crappy subs? Is the translation of the classic "THIS. IS. SPARTAAAA!" scene any funny?
Redhotsmasher It goes like this:
*"THIS EXACTLY THIS BXIA REACH PEOPLE!"* punt
WoobooRidesAgain LOOL, I totally wish that would become a meme now!
Most of my DVDs are pirated like that. I've literally have an entire box of them that includes all the home alone movies and Barbie movies up to 2005. Malaysia, I love ya.
I fucking lost my shit at OTHER DAY
Jacob Frisenda Don't lose your shit

Emilia Bland Good. *not!*

NorthWind Studios oh dear xD
The way you flawlessly pronounce the words in the floating paragraphs is brilliant.
"Leaving his face looking like an Ian." And now I have the mental image of one of my coworkers, coincidentally named Ian, appearing in Die Another Da. He definitely has a face that looks like an Ian. It is a good face, VERY Ian indeed.
Really liked the music played in the Gamechild menu.
Sounded like Death Chamber from Sonic Adventure 2.
1:44 Thats some Your Grammar Sucks gold right there.
XD I totally get it. It would go under the YGS IRL
Halle Berry is played by Jinx in the movie, of course.
Wow... the synopsis of that bootleg Star Wars DVD was some pretty spectacular gibberish. My brain hurt and my eyes went on strike for several minutes! I need glasses now.
My favorite thing is when Stuart doesn't notice something absurd when he first looks at something and then it cracks him up when he's recording. :)
I'm turning into Stephens, I think I'm turning into Stephens, I really think so!
"Turning into Stephens, I think I'm turning into Stephens, I really think so!" dunna-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.
I like how worried Ashens always is about copyright infringements, going bonkers when a commercially availible song pops up on a device or radio, but now reviews pirated movies and uses the Star Wars intro. :D
Dennis de Ruiter That wasn't the real Star Wars theme that he used.
Dennis de Ruiter That wasn't the exact Star Wars intro. It was a facsimile.
Oda Swifteye been too long since I have watched them I guess ;).
Dennis de Ruiter
Yes. I've heard the theme a million times so I know it like the back of my hand but I will admit. That sound alike sounded very much alike.
Oda Swifteye I'd say the fact that the facsimile sounded just slightly off/wrong fit the "crap knockoff" vibe perfectly and made the whole thing funnier than it would've been with the actual Star Wars theme.
1:34 Frankly, this should have said "A few days ago, in a sitting room somewhere in East Anglia...."
Pirated Russian VHS films were a huge part of my childhood because I lived in Finland near the Russian border. Those pirated films were really funny to watch because the Finnish subtitles were full of funny errors. Also they replaced the dialoque with a one man who spoke everything in Russian.
9:06 the unrated text box is ripped from the American Pie Reunion DVD cover
After watching this I think my parents have bought tons of fake versions of movies without ever knowing (or caring) definitely going to have a peak at our movie shelf someday.
I had a bootleg of Zathura that when you played the disc it played shark boy and lava girl instead lmao
It's 4:36 AM, I've not slept all day and I'm completely out of it. Imagine how confused I was when I suddenly heard you say "Hello, Alec!"
When Alec first said hello I thought it was just Stuart putting on a voice and talking to himself.
Reminds me of the bargain bin DVDs we get at Walmart and the dollar stores, I even managed to score a copy of Diacron 5 (under its Space Transformers moniker). Fun times, horrible prints, drinking game fodder.
I like how the language selection screen doesn't like sand
I just noticed that there's a sad onion etched into the Ashen's DVD cover, lol.
I love the inexplicable leaves and compass in the scene selection of the Ashens and the Quest for the GameChild bootleg!
In Jordan the DVDs I got came in those bags but they didn't even bother to put a DVD menu on the disc just a black screen with the title of the movie as the only option.
They also didn't even print a cover on the disc they just put the DVD-R (and sometimes CD-R) in there so if you were using a folder you had to write on the disc what the movie was.The worst is when they used black DVD-Rs so when you went to write what movie it was you had to write on the disc then when you went to check the disc you put it up to the light and see the ink in the reflection.
I don't miss those days.
So is "Die Another Da" the direct sequel to "From Russia With Love"?
Who is the bald guy with the beard? I've been a fan of Ashens for a while but I have no idea who that man is.
Munchiemox same
Goatse, go search it and ruin you're innocence
inthefoxden 64 Ummm... I have heard the name before. Worried to look now.
Munchiemox it's getting a little obnoxious. I'm not sure what the deal is. Is it a joke? Is he trying to subliminally sell us bald bearded men? what does it mean!?
Ross Bishop Munchiemox That's Mentski - worth subbing to if you like gaming channels, oh and I'm hoping this is leading to a cross over vid at some point!
You have to admit though they got the dvd menu music right on the game child. It seems like the kind of music Ashens would use in one of his videos lol
I thought this was just going to be Ashens showing off his library of pirate themed DVDs.
The Star Wars title crawl killed me of laughter 😂
