People's Hero subtitles...AI???
People's Hero (1987) was just added to the Criterion Channel today and of course I had to watch it because Tony Leung is one of the leads, but the subtitles are some of the worst I've ever seen. I can barely focus on the movie because they're so distracting. They look AI generated or something - just filled with broken grammar, incorrect words (on instead of in, let instead of let's, off instead of out), nonsensical sentences...This is supposed to be a tense thriller but I'm sitting here giggling the whole time because how can I not with gems such as:
"Right...they won't let your girlfriend out. If you don't scare them."
"I am not searing them. If necessary, I will kill!"
-
"Won't your stop? Stop!"
-
"Maybe you try to do with me, see if you can be."
-
"Are you afraid of die?"
-
"Afraid of me to killing him?"
-
"Do you know how many policeman outside?"
"(...) I can make it. Relieve me!"

People's Hero is more of a "B" film but it deserves so much better than this slop tier subtitle job.
