I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

Original line: “Yippee ki-yay, mother fucker.”
Censorship line: “Yippee ki-yay, Mr. Falcon.”
There is no one named Mr. Falcon in the movie.
Yippi ki yey melon farmer
There’s also the sign changing from “I Hate N-words” to “I Hate Everyone”
They chose something that was plausible with how his mouth moved to say mother fucker?
I think i remember a movie with that weird martial arts guy who lives in Russia now where they changed mother fucker to mother flipper lol
Yeah, they were trying to match the syntax, but mother flipper at least sorta makes sense. Mr. Falcon just made me think I had the bad guy’s name wrong the whole time.
Mr falcon is a way cooler replacement than mother flipper imo lol
For sure, 100%, but it’s more confusing as well. I remember the first time I heard it thinking, “Wait, why did they change it to Mr. Falcon? Is the general named Falcon? I thought he was Esperanza. Is his nickname Falcon? Did he make reference to falcons? Who is Mr. Falcon?”
I feel like even though there were probably instances of it before this, the “Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon” is kind of the OG, because it’s the first one I remember to become well-known on this new thing called “the internet”.
Yeah, i was either going to do Mr. Falcon or, “find a stranger in the Alps,” and someone beat me to the Alps. I think Falcon was first though.
I don’t remember if it was that movie or another Bruce Willis action movie, but there was a particular nonsensical line that sticks with me decades later. “I don’t care about any of this sweet tooth boot wash!” Like, wut?
What was the swear? I’m guessing bullshit for the last bit, but what’s sweet tooth?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Ah, the Norwegian subtitle crew had creative freedom when translating that line. The official translation was “hipp hurra kølletryne” which would translate back to english as “hip hooray club face” (“club” as in golf club or hockey stick - which of course also is a goofy euphemism for penis).
It’s in the first film but yeah walking through glass barefoot, shooting people and throwing someone screaming from a ledge is all cool for the kids to watch.
No, it was definitely the second, right before he blows up the plane with his zippo.
I’ve only seen the first recently as a Xmas movie every year but it’s in them all I guess so we’re both right
