So I guess they weren't translating badly from the Chinese translation - they were translating badly from the Chinese for what they figured was going on based on visual cues alone. I love it.
@keylightproductions They're from a Chinese bootleg release of the theatrical print (hence the numbers at the top). I guess the bootleggers on this wanted to really go the extra mile by offering subtitles in multiple languages, even English as unnecessary as it would seem. To do so they probably translated it first into Chinese and then back into English, resulting in a lot of lines transforming into complete gibberish.
Because whoever made the subs for this movie translated them *directly* from the previous Chinese subtitles, regardless of whatever was on screen. Hilarity ensues.
@CainG88 technically this makes the most sense of the entire thing, since dichotomy is division into two parts, although it is a stupid way of saying it
OMFG!!! hahaha!!! i LOL SOOO HARD! " 2 squares fight the vehemence" "two fix together" "The disgusting thing came!" "Dont you fuck on I" "R2, Do you is fucking"
Although the sentence structure of Japanese is totally different from English, and a direct Japanese to English translation can be confusing and erroneous... This still is completely absurd. Were there no better expressions that they could come up with?
I know I'm not supposed to say this, but... I couldn't concentrate on the subtitles because I was getting into the film. Say what you like about it but if I was engaged by it then it can't be all bad.
@te2rx You know how with most movies and shows they remove most videos but allow videos of certain particular famous scenes and memes? Like "This! Is! Sparta!" Well, in this case, the meme is concurrent with the entire movie, so it creates an excuse to upload it other than for the movie itself.
the war came! the republic encountered two sqares fight the vehmice the improbability fills the world the space general of the alliance is skillfull kidnap D the speaker of th conduct the proper abuption alliance troops tries ratio prosperus drive with the.....?
Like Engrish, but funnier! What did you use to translate the Chinese? Babel fish? Or YouTube's Beta captions followed by Babel fish? Each word translated separately in babel fish, that's my guess. You can obviously tell that this comment is a negative yet loving advertisement for Babel fish, and a very subtle advertisement for a certain video game which will go unnamed until someone asks. Nah, I know what the subtitles are from. They're still hilarious.
