This morning I was going to watch Innerspace as I haven't had time to watch it since I bought the disc 5 years ago. Quickly I was very disappointed to find out I had bought a dud! This widescreen disc was the dubbed Japanese version. WTF!? I have never heard before that English movies used to be dubbed to Japanese language? Is this common for English spoken movies to be dubbed in Japan?https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/51734/NJ ... InnerspaceI was really pissed about this that seller never informed me I was buying a Japanese dub! I paid $26.29 USD including shipping for this LD. Waste of money I bet this MoFo is a member on this forum, his name is Cockney.

English movies dubbed in Japanese?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbpslRxy8T0&t=78sAll jest aside, that's why you look up all you can about a release before you buy it. It says right on the page you linked that the audio is in Japanese. Maybe the seller would have been courteous to include more information on the disc, but two words: "Caveat emptor."

Quote: I have never heard before that English movies used to be dubbed to Japanese language? Is this common for English spoken movies to be dubbed in Japan? This is not "common" but there are several examples available, in your case the NJL-11754 is the regular version with original language and NJDL-11754 with Japanese language, its not always so obvious though. There are indeed also bi-lingual LD's available for non-Japanese domestic films. Best to check LDDb - but it is not aways correct : Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) [NJDL-11886] : shows english... but is japanese dubbed version (I will request update) - this is indicated on the jacket and round OBI.

Putting all the relevant information on the ebay listing is certainly best practice, but as you say, he did provide the catalog number. I don't think this merits any vendetta or public shaming against the seller. I was thinking perhaps seller is a member here? That's why I mentioned his alias. Perhaps he would redeem himself being a gentleman, but probably not?
