Here is the original link to the webpage, but I have archived this FABULOUS job of captioning below as well.

-----------------

episode iii, the backstroke of the west

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.
 -




star war (just one)
 -




'the backstroke of the west' is the english translation of the chinese title.
 -



anakin: "this is where the fun begins"
 -



obi wan: "let them pass between us"
 -



anonymous doomed fighter pilot: "they're all over me"
 -



obi wan, space battle strategist.

yoda insists...
 -




...and explains that the person he once knew noed longer is.
 -



anakin tells padme about his new virtues, now being both strong and big.
 -



padme doesn't want strong and big- she also doesn't want to walk on a road meant for running about.
 -



lier!!!
 -



obi wan has heard enough.
 -



i won't post any spoiler screen shots for those who haven't seen the movie yet- this is a memorable scene towards the end of the film. needless to say, obi wan wasn't actually speaking like yoda in this scene.
 -



i love this translation. darth vader is actually shouting, "nooooooooooooo..."
 -




captions there be, mangled they are.

Maybe they should release a special edition boxed set, and include this version on an extra disc!

Maybe this IS the original script and our expected dialog is the translation?

That is without a doubt the best laugh I have had in at least the last month. When I was a kid I got some pretty good chuckles out of Japanese attempts at using English on their signs or advertisements. But this DVD even more funny.

I'm a little worried about suggesting this, but that DVD might make for a good drinking game. Everytime an odd subtitle pops up, take a drink. Players would probably need a complete blood transfusion before the show was half over.
