We all know Engrish signs found in Japan and other Asian countries. Now heres subtitles from a Star Wars DVD bought in China.

i saw revenge of the sith last weekend at a local theater with my friend joe who was in town on business. it was much better than the first two movies and a fitting end (err.. middle) to the star wars saga.

the next day i was walking past my friendly dvd salesperson and decided to check out revenge of the sith. i was assured the quality was good and for 7rmb why not give it a shot.

aside from the counters on the top of the screen and a distorted perspective it was ok- not high quality but watchable. the captions were a hilarious surprise- a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of what the script was saying. it varied from being somewhat close to the script to being 'far far away'....

amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.

So this thread isn't about swimming at all? What a rip off! I didn't think backstroke was a type of swim technique though, breast stroke is best. :mrgreen:

Those are bloody hilarious though.
 
Wow. That dialog is 10 times better and more entertaining than the real shit lucas churned out. I'd almost be willing to watch the prequle trillogy again if they all were like that.
 
Oh that's just hilarious:roflmao:
