Subtitle Fun!

Hello and Good Morning to you all!

By now I'm sure many of you have had a chance to watch the DVD, and love it tons. But I wonder if anyone noticed the flaws in the Subtitle Track?

For Example:

In 'Infected'-

Actual Line: "He says I have her eyes, Do I also inherit his shame?"
Subtitle Line: "He says I have a right to, Do I also inherit his shame?"

In 'Zydrate Anatomy'-

Actual Line: "I can't feel nothin' at all..."
Subtitle Line: "I'll keep a lock on it all..."

In 'Everyones a Composer'-

Actual Line: "You've turned this house into a tomb."
Subtitle Line: "You've turned this house into a zoo."

In 'Let The Monster Rise'-

Actual Line: "Then let the Monster Rise!"
Subtitle Line: "Then let the Monster Run!"

I didn't keep the subtitles on long, and didn't see all of these myself, but they've been circulating around.

Share any others you might have happened across, I know there's more.

I can't believe they'd get something wrong like that. It wasn't even a translation issue. Strange.

8D Perhaps it's best I left the subtitles alone. Or maybe I'll put them on just to lol at them. XDD Wow.

LGF really put the nail in their own coffin on this one.

Holy s**t. XDDD Watch Thankless Job with captions on. It's so worth it. I don't want to spoil how funny it is.

I have no idea why they'd mess something like that up... Maybe they changed some of the lyrics in the actual movie when so many subplots were cut out?

<_< I watched REPO! with subtitles last night...and sweet God. Talk about funny. XDD; I think the mistake in "Thankless Job" is by far my favorite. I don't think I'll look at that scene the same way again.

I've made my peace, I hold no grudge. I'm gonna sing my final song...


Either LGF had a stroke or they did that on purpose. I am going with the second choice only because every other line is not what is being sung/said, which would be extremely stupid to do even for LGF's standards.

They are hilarious, though I have only seen them posted and have not watched the DVD with them yet. xD


...At the opera tonight!
