For the record, I like the US versions for those films, but why not
just release the originals dubbed or even subbed?

Er, they did.

R1, even.

I meant in the theaters.

I think because a) subtitled movies just don't do well in the US,

The list goes something like...

1) Passion of the Christ ($400 million)

2) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ($110+ million, not includes
ferschluggin' Fox execs who broadcast dubbed versions for television.
"WHY DO THEY DO THIS?! IT'S STUPID!!!")

That's it :-(

b)
dubbed live action reminds most people of bad kung fu films,

*AHEM* See above :-(

and c) by
a US studio having an actual stake in the production, they'll put more
promotional effort behind it.

Da.

Terrence Briggs, who grew up watching movies with people who didn't
look like him. Why can't the rest of us do the same?
Peace to you...
