Apparently, French and Russian versions of Law and Order: Criminal Intent and a Russian version of SVU have recently been filmed.

They're also, apparently, going to be relased on DVD, so into the Netflix queue they go.

The question is, what's French or Russian for "doink doink?"

("doink doink" being that noise they make whenever they switch between scenes on L&O, obviously.)

The T-shirt says it's "chung chung."

TNT commercials that aired when they first started L&O reruns had cast members referring to it as "doink doink."

Also, "doink doink" is funnier. :-)

Just as a warning/data point, "doink doink" means something TOTALLY different in the SCA.

Remind me to tell you a rather off-color story sometime. :)

Well, I'm sure it would.

SCA participants rarely solve crimes in Manhattan.

:-D

Though L&O: SCA intrigues as a concept... :-)

Oh god I can't scoot away from the monitor in fear fast enough.

I'm in a wheeled desk chair, so I can. :-)

In Russian it's "dyoink dyoink." Duh.

(Also: In Soviet Russia, crime solves YOU.)

If you find me the sound, I'll tell you what it sounds like to me in Russian. Or, I suppose I could look around and see if there's a common phrase, if you _really_ like.

[arib.livejournal.com]

That's okay, I'm mostly being facetious. :-)

Still, I'm interested in seeing how they adapt the show to both cultures/countries. Should be fun.

Since I don't expect to start watching it in English, I am not the one to comment.

1) Det. Logan: "I know how to say "what's your sign?" in seven languages"

2) Does a Russian doing a bad American accent sound as bad as an American doing a bad Russian accent?

3) Will they have "Miranda" style recitations going into the commericals?
"You have the right to remain silent. Which is good for you. Twenty years ago, suspects only had the right to be beaten senseless until they confessed..."
