Film for a Saturday Night: “Encino Man” (1992) in English *and* Hindi

For your Saturday evening viewing pleasure, I present this dumb-but-fun film from the summer of 1992: Encino Man, starring Sean Astin, Brendan Fraser and Pauly Shore. Never mind its 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — it’s a fun film.

And for those of you who grew up on Bollywood, here’s a treat:

I have no idea how they translated some of Pauly Shore’s expressions. “Buuh….ddy!” is pretty easy, but some others, such as “weezin’ the juice” or “fresh nugs” might have been a challenge. If you speak Hindi and watch the film, please let us know in the comments!
