Russian Man's rant gets new translation Not sure which translation y'all be using here, but IGN has this awkwardly short articles on the Russian speaking man in the movie saying he said:
"The water-god from the north has returned, they cannot kill it with fire. Go back…"
which completely clashes with the previous believed translation about a missing daughter, though I'd have to say I like this one better.

No way!
I havent DVD now, but I can good recall what he said: he said something like "My brother is pressed down by debris, please help him, please!"
Water-god from North is nonsense.

Yeah man, I'm Canadian and we NEVER say aboot. Ever. I've always wondered where that came from. However, we DO say 'eh' all the time though. haha

Actually... some Canadians I know say something that sound similar to aboot, not full on aboot, but not about in the accent as i know it...
