    I only know the German version from RTL2 which had funny commentary dubbed over it with made-up names and stuff. Curious, did the dubs in other countries do the same? Were there languages with the original commentary translated?

    You can watch some English subtitled rips here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;takeshis-castle-with-english-subtitles-collection-1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;takeshis-castle-with-english-sub...</a><p>The other archive link shared here, it&#x27;s to another set of rips that appear to lack subtitles.

    Back in the early 2000s, I always had a good laugh whenever I was flipping through TV channels and stumbled upon Takeshi&#x27;s Castle.

    “Right you are, Ken!”<p>(From MXC, based on footage from Takeshi’s Castle)<p>Still remember that phrase from years ago.

    Wouldn&#x27;t have expected this on Hacker News. Used to love watching this as a kid!

    Thanks! Someone once told me about this, told me MXC is actually Takeshi&#x27;s Castle, but I forgot, long ago. Fun fact.
