Not the same thing, but the first time I saw District 9 there were no subtitles for the prawns. I didn't even know there was supposed to be any. I think I liked that version better.

Wtf, the prawns have actual dialog?

I was so focused on trying to understand the South African accent, that not a single brain cell was available for additional processing.

This is how I first watched it too. I had no idea we were supposed to understand what they were saying.

It highlights how good the movie is, because even without knowing what they were saying you still 100% understood what was going on. That's pretty impressive.
