Ungal Rock Nadikkum...
The latest Hollywood action flick to be dubbed in Tamil, expecting a successful run, is some movie with Rock. These movies, and those kung fu flicks from the 80�s Hong Kong are great candidates for Tamil dubs. One big advantage is that Cantonese translates with the same pace into Tamil. So the jarring speeds, at which the English-translated dialogues go, are thankfully absent.
Another result is that Chocky Jaan, Puroose Li, Aarnuld Svasneaker, Silvesterstaalun, and more recently, Jet Li and Rock are big stars here. Heck! Arnie would have won hands down from South Madras if not California.
