      Not sure how the OP saw it, but the R1 DVD has subtitles
      I have to admit, its one of the first times I put an English speaking movie's subs onI had NO trouble with Cain, his friend & the police, but the "hoods" I had quite a time understanding what they were saying (oddly enough).

          This thread is such a bunch of bs. I have trouble understanding the British language also. It has nothing to do with cultural differences or whatever. We Americans speak very slowly compared to other languages. And that is what we are used to. A lot of times I have to turn up the volume to understand something and it has to do with "me 'earing" not being what it used to be.

            I can see where you are coming from, as the Americans can find it a bit difficult to understand the New Zealand accent, however the Canadians have no problem whatsoever.

                What makes it "real English"? The language you were speaking when we broke off was just as foreign to modern British English as American is.

                      It's not that difficult. As an American, I generally understand about 90-95% of it. The rest is generally a mixture of unfamiliar slang, strong accents and fast-talking. I've known British (mostly English) people who have the same problem, especially with the less "flat" varieties of American English. It's not worth everybody getting so worked up over.

                            UMMMMMMMMMMM..
                            Watching DVD NOW, and the sub-titles work just fine. On your DVD remote, there is a button that is marked "subtitles". Try using it.
                            And yes, British accents are hard to understand.
                            Son, you can't polish a turd

                              The whiny American accent can also be difficult for Brits to understand. I usually have to watch US movies on TV and DVD with the subtitles on to follow the dialogue.

                                Yup, the whiny nasal high pitched American is a common trope in British theater and TV.

                                  I had no trouble following the dialogue at all.
                                  You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
