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

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".

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?

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).

Yippi ki yey melon farmer

There’s also the sign changing from “I Hate N-words” to “I Hate Everyone”

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.
