A distinct but related form of language-translation-inspired reworking was pioneered (or at least popularized) in 1966 by Woody Allen's first film, What's Up, Tiger Lily?. Allen slices up several low-budget Japanese "James Bond film" knock-offs, adds a few scenes, and then dubs the final cut with English to create a comedy.

You can also play a party game based on something even harder. You turn the sound off some film or television program and then try to extemporaneously supply amusing dialog. Naturally, the people doing this have to be pretty smart and creative!

P.S. If I invited a herd of buffaloes to a party at my house, I'd be damned sure NONE of them had swallowed any Buffalax(tm) in advance! Don't believe the nonsense of how "gentle" it works!
