Having been told that I was only allowed the time off for my honeymoon on the condition that I spend the whole time working on a feature, I present to you this: The Thai bootleg DVD subtitle experiment. Catchy, I know.For some reason Asian bootleg DVDs feature poorly translated subtitles (often referred to as 'Engrish subtitles' by people less scared of seeming racist than me), often with amazing results. So I decided to buy one of these illegal pirated copies to see if I could unearth some linguistic treasures. I set my sights on The Avengers . What follow are screengrabs of the funniest incidences of language failure, with the correct lines of dialogue underneath. Enjoy! Marvel Avengers Assemble is released (legitimately) on DVD and Blu-ray on 17th September. With actual, official subtitles, no doubt. I urge you all to buy it - mainly because it will help my case if I ever get into trouble with F.A.C.T. for posting this. IT WAS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES.
