  • Overdubbed or not that's Clare Grogans voice for certain.

  • does anyone have clips from the original (the un-dubbed version)? This is the version we get in the US but it doesn't take long to realize something's missing!!!

  • the budget was only 500 pounds and it grossed 25 mil???

  • lol this was filmed in my town!!

    well of course years and years before i was born :s

  • We've just made a film with Rab Buchanan and Dave Anderson! - I uploaded the trailer as a video response to this. Music includes sax by Colin Tully and watch out for the Gregory's Girl moments!

  • it's dubbed cause it sounds different, love the film

  • I know the girl that play the main girl :) i met her in morrisons today actually :)

  • i dont like the dubbed version best keeping the scottish the original

  • Its definitely dubbed!

  • This film is not dubbed. I saw it during its original run in LA. People were walking out because they could not understand what the actors were saying.

  • WTL??!!! Why is it dubbed?? Its not American!! Its famous for its Glaswegianess LOL :D xx

  • why the hell is it dubbed?

  • I study english as a foreign language I have never came across a phrase "wee boy"?Do you often use it? Scotts only? If I understand correctly it means something like little boy?

    I am traveling to Scotland in summer and I have decided to see a few Scottish movie before I leave and Gregory's girl if one of them, and it's a cute movie...so I wonder where is this park or location about which you say that not much has changed? Is the whole movie shot in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, Scotland?

  • A truly wonderful film, one of my alltime favorites, and actually I prefer the "dubbed" version over the original, the voices have a certain quality that adds to the innocent feeling.

    "She's got teeth! Lovely white teeth! White white teeth!"

  • I LOVEEE THIS FILMMM:O

  • clare grogan is georgeous in this. I really fancied her, when the film came out. It reminds me of my own schooldays...

    Hate the fact its dubbed though...

  • an all time great film. well acted, top story about growing up and feeling awkweed when you fall in love at school.

  • read this shitty play in english the other day...

    but this seems 1000 times worse

  • Your choice to live here.

  • my goodness, I really enjoy the film.

  • The best film? You've never seen Braveheart, The first Highlander movie, Rob Roy or the last King of Scotland then no? Those are just some of the oscar winning blockbuster films That are associated with scotland, made in scotland and every one of them have many decent or world class actors in them.

    So no, Gregory's Girl is NOT the best film to come out of scotland, Not even close. Give me a couple of great english movies then...Wimbledon?...This is England?...Kidulthood?...Rubbi­sh.

  • ok i see what your getting at but he said "come out" as in filmed their. and while we're at it, Braveheart was filmed in Ireland with an Australian actor as the leading man, Highlander was piss and is piss, the last King of Scotland has got sweet fuck all to do with Scotland, just cause it has one scottish actor and Scotland in the title doesnt mean it is a scottish film, and the best film to actually come out of scotland from my point of view is trainspotting or Orphans.

  • Braveheart was filmed in ireland AND scotland, and yes the australian actor mel gibson was the leading man, but don't take away other main characters who are scottish, such as brendon gleeson and brian cox.

    Highlander was considered by many critics as dross, but was still a blockbuster success at the time, and many scenes were filmed in scotland.

  • The last King of scotland was filmed in scotland at the beginning of the film, the main character is scottish, and the actor himself is scottish obviously and it highlights the dicator Amin's passion and admiration for scotland and it's people, so it does have quite a bit to do with scotland despite the setting in uganda. Not to mention kevin mcdonald the director of the movie is scottish.

    I do agree with you that trainspotting is possibly the best film to come out of scotland though.

  • Mel is American

  • emm no, your wrong. haha

  • Mel Gibson was Born in NY, check your facts haha

  • i have checked my facts and i know where he was born, but he and his family moved to OZ to stop the boys in his family from drafted, his mother was Australian and has held an Australian passport for longer than he had an american and now he has dual passports, so i consider him australian like most other people

  • He's an American that holds an Australian passport, I don't think you speak for most people.

  • He spent his formative years in Australia. Therefore, he can be considered an Australian.

  • Ye just one that was born in America

  • Just out of interest, do you regard Pierce Brosnan as English or Irish?

  • he is irish isnt he?

  • im from that town its a right dump

  • whaaaaaat ?

  • was anyone else left with a feeling of "what the fuck?"

    what a strange trailer....

  • This is the dubbed version for the US market. Apparently the americans couldn't understand the thick scottish accents so the powers that be dubbed the voices with more 'anglisized' ones.

  • That is a crime! It totally ruins it.

  • The DVD has audio options for both Scottish accents and what you're listening to now. I prefer the former. I'm American and have little trouble understanding the accent.

    Great movie, BTW!

  • I'm an American & I personally think the Scottish accent isn't hard to understand. The ones who say it is don't want to listen intentively. I would much rather watch it in its original version but then again. Yet, I'd like to soak up as much as I can about foreign anything including language. But its just me.

  • Well said 88nicetat. I have to admit that even from Belfast, with an accent not unlike the Scots I found some of the (original)narrative hard to decipher. If you really want to indulge/immerse yourself, read any of the Irvine Welsh books. Irvine Welsh of 'Trainspotting' fame. His books are written in the (Edinburgh) dialect. After a few pages you are 'there' in Edinburgh with it diverse characters.

    Good Luck

  • Dee Hepburn and Clare Grogan are both hot! Brilliant film!

  • I'm watching this now on TCM and I'm loving it to pieces! Very cute guys in here too.

  • Great film & a personal fave.

  • Clair Grogan from altered images innit?

  • i met dee hepburn while oh holiday in majorca, she was very nice and talks just like that lol!

  • omg i loved this movie....certainly none of your modern rubbish so i must admit my sister and i were shocked (i only saw it last year you see) but it is SOO funny!!! and scared caused us to fall to the floor laughing wen we found out our mum used to fancy gregory, but i think his mate is better, though i aint seen it in a while and cant remember anyones names. AWESOME film, must wacth again, and again and again and again!!!

  • Gregory got the Hottie in the end, a cutie with a bob and a beret! I dont know what she sees in him though!

  • Sorry, it seems some girls think he is cute!

  • I love this film, makes you want to go to Cumbernauld, which is something not many people want to do!

  • anyone know if there was a music album that came out at the same time as the film or who made the music? nice film by the way

  • Christ the 80s! depressing, good flick though

  • i love the acents and gregory is so cute lol!

  • This appears to be the American version, in which the dialogue was re-recorded to try to make the accents more accessible

  • Trust me,this is overdubbed

  • I don't think this was overdubbed. I saw this when it came out in the 80's and those are the actors voices. Looks like the video is just out of sync with the sound. Fantastic movie by the way, very funny. Brings back memorys of the girlfriend I had at the time back then. Classic movie!

  • i love it how he's wearing her beret!!!

    lol

    <33

  • what about the english language?

  • Och wee Claire Grogan wiz she bonnie or whit!

  • i cant understand why americans needed this to be overdubbed?The overdubbed accent is really no different to the original

  • it's because (generally) they refuse to even attempt to understand something that comes from somewhere outside the USA !

  • Want some cheese to go with that "whine"??

  • I'd rather have a biscuit and a cup of tea -old chap!

  • thats harsh

  • wonderful wonderful scene in a wonderful wonderful film

  • I thought horizontal dancing was a euphemism for shagging, but as it turns out, it's actually even more bizarre than that.

    Classic film.

  • the theme tune is still excellent

  • This has definately been dubbed poorly!!!

  • yes, there is a non-accent track on the dvd. the voice track with the scottish accents is a little distracting to some.

  • Is it me or is that blatently dubbed?
