Mangled Subtitles

Ivan the Terrible has a Site of the Week Feature. The latest is English Subtitles in Hong Kong Films. Very funny. I used to live and travel around Asia for many years and enjoyed some of the mangling of English. I should temper that by the fact that I think many of our attempts at Cantonese or Mandarin are likely worse. Probably not as funny however.

Take these punks.

I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.

A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries.

Quiet or I'll blow your throat up.

You always use violence. I should've ordered glutinous rice chicken.


And the classic I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out!

Thanks Ivan for brightening my day.
