Funny Subtitles on the Chinese DVD

Hi there! While not exactly a CN, I am going to post stills from my chinese dvd with the english subtitles turned on. some are wierd, some are funny, some are strangely beautiful. Its clear, though, that the subtitler(s) had a thin grasp on english language, and a different slant on things political.

I will attempt to stick these up in sequence, and note the actual spoken dialog they were intended to convey (BELIEVE ME, you wont be able to tell, most of the time!)

so, to get us started:

huh? emoticon

Re: Funny Subtitles on the Chinese DVD

 emoticon This had me on the floor laughing. I love Engrish so much.

Has anybody seen the bad LotR subtitles?

Here's the ones for Fellowship of the Ring

and the ones for Return of the King

I can't wait for more of those subtitles. It's best if you imagine them being spoken in V's voice.

I edited your links for ease of use. Ven
