Author Topic: Editing Closed Caption on Television Kyle Caudill Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Wichita Falls, TX Registered: May 2002 posted 01-16-2005 03:42 AM                     I was watching Office Space on Bravo late Saturday Night/Sunday morning. My wife sits at the computer to dry her hair. She turns the closed captioning on. I rarely pay attention to it, but never turn it off. The movie is edited for tv to remove the curse words. But, they failed to edit the closed captioning. There on the bottom of the screen when they would say shoot "sh**" would appear on the bottom. Actually the best is when they edited the word out completly "sh**" would appear on the bottom for no reason. Made a funny movie that much more better.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-16-2005 07:55 AM                        Exactly the same thing happened here a few years back, during a TV broadcast of Beverly Hills Cop. It was on early evening over the Christmas break and so had been extensively dubbed to remove the swearing (lots of mothercrushers and so on). But they'd got the subtitles from the original version, and so anyone who chose to switch them on saw the uncensored dialogue. The BBC took a fair few complaints over that one.  |  IP: Logged
