This is utterly off but it made me laugh..
[Compiled by Stefan Hammond and Mike Wilkins for their book
_Sex_&_Zen_&_a_Bullet_in_the_Head_, to be published by Fireside.]

These are excerpted from a list of English subtitles used in films
made in Hong Kong:


1. I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.

2. Fatty, you with your thick face have hurt my instep.

3. Gun wounds again?

4. Same old rules: no eyes, no groin.

5. A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries.

6. Damn, I'll burn you into a BBQ chicken!

7. Take my advice, or I'll spank you without pants.

8. Who gave you the nerve to get killed here?

9. Quiet or I'll blow your throat up.

10. You always use violence. I should've ordered glutinous rice
chicken.

11. I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out!

12. You daring lousy guy.

13. Beat him out of recognizable shape!

14. I have been scared sh*tless too much lately.

15. I got knife scars more than the number of your leg's hair!

16. Beware! Your bones are going to be disconnected.

17. How can you use my intestines as a gift?

18. The bullets inside are very hot. Why do I feel so cold?
