Don't say there was no warning

Don't say there was no warning by MRP46.
"A really bad soap opera ... ". One more example for the refreshingly transparent cover information on pirated DVD's in China.

Haha... I wonder if they have random subtitles on that one, too.

Man sollte sich die Kommentare auf der Rückseite sparen und einfach den Film geniessen... oder?

@ inferno artist:
Has anyone done research on these "random subtitles"? My theory is: They are machine re-translations of the Chinese subtitels, which are already awfully bad, except in the case officially imported movies and movies dubbed for HK or Taiwan.

You're probably right, but I remember one couple who bought House of Flying Daggers and I had a look and felt 'something's weird' and then a minute later the line 'I pledge allegiance to the President of the United States' appeared... Awesome.

@ inferno artist:
Yes, that's another variety: subtitles from a different film. I have some examples too. A nice, kafkaesque experience, but only for a few moments. Then: anger.

So now I wonder what came first: this DVD cover or the one-star review here (scroll down to the end).
