Communication Breakdown: "Translates the engine is many pleasure!"

In this classic martial arts adventure (which, incidentally, isn't actually a sequel to Five Deadly Venoms, though it features many of the same actors), Tu Tin-To (Chen Kuan-Tai) and his son (Lu Feng) are unscrupulous warlords drunk with power who will cripple anyone who crosses their path. Five men who have fallen victim to the violence of Tu Tin-To and his son band together - a blind man (Phillip Kwok Tsui), a deaf-mute (Lo Meng), a man with no legs (Sun Chien), a man who has been rendered an imbecile through torture (Chiang Sheng), and a gifted kung-fu master. The master teaches the four maimed men deadly fighting skills, and they set forth to reclaim their village from Tu Tin-To's reign of terror. Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms, originally titled Can Que, was also released as Crippled Avengers. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I like how he will "will undermine any person who crosses the road"

BTW, what language did you use to translate to and back from?

That was one of my favorite parts too. I used traditional Chinese because I've found it usually gives a more dramatic mistranslation than European languages.

Re:Communication Breakdown: "Translates the engine is many pleasure!"

I think the translators have gotten better. When I first started doing this in 2000 they would come out even worse.

Re:Communication Breakdown: "Translates the engine is many pleasure!"

Just for fun: Do you guys remember that part at the end of Naked Gun 2 1/2 where he has to read from that trashy novel to get everyone to wake up.

"His strong manly hands probed every crevice of her silken femininity, their undulating bodies writhing in sensual rhythm, as he thrust his purple-headed warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding."

From English to Japaneese back to English.

"Because the hand which that to be strong man seems pushed out the soldier which in the hill where he trembles the love pudding her is taken the lead that purple, the woman of her silk it seems, all rifts of the body which has the ups and downs which struggle with the functional rhythm were inspected strictly."

Re:Communication Breakdown: "Translates the engine is many pleasure!"

I translated a scene from The Big Lebowski to Arabic and back again:

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

The Dude, Walter and Donny sit at the bar, the Dude with a White Russian, Walter with a beer, and Donny eating beer nuts.

Donny:  And then they're gonna stamp on it?!

Walter:  Oh for Christ--will you shut the f*ck up, Donny.

Dude:  I figure my only hope is that the big Lebowski kills me before the Germans can cut my dick off.

Walter:  Now that is ridiculous, Dude.  No one is going to cut your dick off.

Dude:  Thanks Walter.

Walter:  Not if I have anything to say about it.

Dude (bitterly):  Yeah, thanks Walter.  That gives me a very secure feeling.

Walter:  Dude--

Dude:  That makes me feel all warm inside.

Walter:  Now Dude--

Dude:  This whole fucking thing--I  could be sitting here with just pee-stains on my rug.

Walter sadly shakes his head.

Walter:  Fucking Germans.  Nothing changes.  Fucking Nazis.

Donny:  They were Nazis, Dude?

Walter:  Come on, Donny, they were threatening castration!

Donny:  Uh-huh.

Walter:  Are you gonna split hairs?

Donny:  No--

Walter:  Am I wrong?

Donny:  Well--

Dude:  They're nihilists.

Walter:  Huh?

Dude:  They kept saying they believe in nothing.

Walter:  Nihilists!  Jesus.

Walter looks haunted.

Walter:  Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Dude:  Yeah.

Walter:  And let's also not forget--let's not forget, Dude--that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city--that isn't legal either.

Dude:  What're you, a fucking park ranger now?

Walter:  No, I'm--

Dude:  Who gives a shit about the fucking marmot!

Walter:  --We're sympathizing here, Dude--

Dude:  F*ck your sympathy!  I don't need your sympathy, man, I need my fucking Johnson!

Donny:  What do you need that for, Dude?

Walter:  You gotta buck up, man, you can't go into the tournament with this negative attitude--

Dude:  F*ck the tournament!  F*ck you, Walter!

There is a moment of stunned silence.

Walter:  F*ck the tournament?!

SAD; QUIET:

Walter:  Okay Dude.  I can see you don't want to be cheered up.  C'mon Donny, let's go get a lane.

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

The man, Walter donny sit Parr, a man with Byelorussia, with Walter beer, and beer donny eat nuts.

Donny: Then we gonna seal it?!

Walter: Oh for Christ - Are you ready to close the dreaded follow-up, donny.

Men: I figure my only hope is that a large lebowski kills me before the Germans could spare you from my country.

Walter: Now that is ridiculous, man. No one is going to spare you from your own.

Men: Thank you, Walter.

Walter: If you do not say anything about this subject.

Man (bitterly): Yes, thanks to Walter. To give me a feeling very secure.

Walter: a man --

Man: that makes me feel all warm inside.

Walter: that the man --

Men: This whole thing fucking - I could sit here with just Pee - stains on my carpet.

It is sad that Walter shake his head.

Walter: fucking Germans. Nothing changes. Fucking Nazis.

Donny: The Nazi, a man?

Walter: Come on, donny, were threatening castration!

Donny: Uh - Huh.

Walter: Are you gonna division of poetry?

Donny: No --

Walter: Am I wrong?

Donny: Well --

Men: they are nihilists.

Walter: Huh?

Men: they keep saying they believe in anything.

Walter: nihilists! Jesus.

Walter looks haunted.

Walter: to say what it wants with the creed of National Socialism, a man, at least that spirit.

Men: Yes.

Walter: Let us also not forget - let's not forget the man - that wildlife conservation, and amphibious rodent, Lah, local, you know, inside the city - that is not legal either.

Men: what're you, Park goalkeeper Trick now?

Walter: No, I'm --

Men: It gives the curse of lewd Marmot!

Walter: - We 're here compassion, a man --

Men: Damn sympathy! I do not need your sympathy, man, I need my Johnson damned!

Donny: What about the need for that, man?

Walter: You must even Pak, a man, you can not enter into stardom with such a negative attitude --

Men: Damn the championship! Damn you, Walter!

There is a moment of silence is staggering.

Walter: Damn championship?!

Sad; calm:

Walter: Well man. I can see that you do not want to be cheered. C'mon donny, let's go to get warm.

I also liked the translation of the line "Walter:  Now that is ridiculous, Dude.  No one is going to cut your dick off." to Bulgarian and back:

"Walter: Now it is coming, dude. Nobody comes to reducing your Dick distance. "

Re:Communication Breakdown: "Translates the engine is many pleasure!"

"American Psycho" (The Paul Owen murder scene) as translated into and back from Korean.

before:

INT. BATEMAN'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
The living room floor has been meticulously covered with 
newspaper.

Owen is slumped drunkenly in a white Eames chair, a glass 
in his hand. Bateman is looking through his CDs.

BATEMAN 
You like Huey Lewis and the News?

OWEN 
They're okay.
BATEMAN 
Their early work was a little too New Wave for my 
taste. But then Sports came out in 1983, I think they really 
came into their own, commercially and artistically.

Bateman walks to his bathroom, taking a large ax out of the
shower. He takes two Valium.

BATEMAN 
(Said partly from the bathroom) 
The whole album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of 
consummate professionalism that gives the songs a big boost.
Bateman comes back out and leans the ax against the wall. 
He walks to the foyer and puts on a raincoat, watching Owen 
from behind ail the time.

BATEMAN 
He's been compared to ELvis Costello but I think 
Huey has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Owen is absent-mindedly leafing through the Barneys 
catalogue.

OWEN 
Hey, Halberstam?

BATEMAN 
Yes, Owen?

OWEN 
Why are there copies of the Style section all over 
the place? Do you have a dog? A chow or something?

BATEMAN 
No, Owen.

OWEN 
(Confused) 
Is that a raincoat?

BATEMAN 
Yes, it is.

Bateman moves to the CD player. He takes a CD out of its 
case and slides it in the machine.

BATEMAN 
In 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most 
accomplished album. I think I heir undisputed masterpiece is 
"HiP To Be Square," a song so catchy that most people probably 
don't listen to the lyrics. But they should because it's not 
just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of 
trends. It's al~ a personal statement about the band itself.

Bateman puts on "Hip To Be Square."

BATEMAN crosses the room and picks up the ax.

We follow BATEMAN from behind as he walks up to Owen, the 
ax raised over his head.

BATEMAN 
Hey, Paul?

As Owen turns around, FROM OWEN'S POV we see Bateman swing 
the ax toward his face.

Blood sprays onto the white raincoat.

FROM BEHIND OWEN, we see BATEMAN as he yanks the ax out.

Owen drops to the floor. His body falls out of the frame. 
We stay on his legs twitching mechanically.

Blood pulses onto the newspaper-covered floor.

BATEMAN 
(Raising the ax and screaming) 
Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now, you fucking 
stupid bastard!

LOW ANGLE ON BATEMAN as he beats Owen with the back of the 
ax.

OFFSCREEN, the sound of the ax hitting Owen.

BATEMAN 
(Panting) 
Fucking bastard...

Bateman takes his raincoat off, still panting. He folds the 
coat carefully in half, bloody side in, and drapes it neatly 
over the back of a chair.

He sits back on the white sofa and surveys the scene. He 
checks his Rolex and lights a cigar.

OFFSCREEN, Paul Owen's last faint sighs are heard.
----------------------
And after:

INT. BATEMAN' S apartments - the night living room ground prudently, with the newspaper which covers. Five [weyn] from Eames white chair and separation to alcoholic beverage withdrawal from his hand which slumps. Bateman leads and his CD thinks. 

Do BATEMAN you like Huey Louis and a news? 

Five [weyn] They' Re-okay. 

BATEMAN their early works for me the taste which is a new tendency. Meantime is different but the sports at 1983, thinks in their oneself who comes out, commercially and came in artistically with realness. 

Has the axe whose from Bateman is big and the shower which walks in his bathroom. He has the valium in 2 and he goes. BATEMAN (saying from the divided bathroom,) to the album which is whole is clear, the green onion [sak] the green onion [sak] one sound and complete the professionalism which gives a big support in the song which is new luster. Bateman returns toward the outside and leans against the axe about the wall. He walks in the rest room and five [weyn] after putting on the raincoat which sees from bother the time. 

BATEMAN He' s comes out ELvis Costello but is compared and to Huey where is thought more writes, a Cynics funny bone there is. 

Five [weyn] arguments leads and the catalogue where the leaf is being born blankly. 

Five [weyn] hollo, Halberstam? is like that, five [weyn]? The place where there probably is a copy of five [weyn] why completely style profiles? Do you have the dog? Chow or silence? 

BATEMAN no, five [weyn]. 

Are five [weyn] (confusing,) it the raincoat? 

BATEMAN is like that, is it. 

Bateman moves with CD players. If he from it to have CD it wraps from the glide machine which goes. 

As BATEMAN this releases and 1987 is put from Huey, the whole surface! Their most large quantities the album which is attained. Me I the successor a masterpiece which is positive " where thinks that wears out; Orderliness will be " Hip; Gaining a popularity, easy song is like this probably people don' of most; t listens closely a household duties. But they in because it' Will be and; About pleasure and importance of suitability s only trends. It' s about al~ bands personal bill oneself. Bateman " Puts above; Square." The hip will be; 

The room intersects and in compliance with BATEMAN the axe picks up. Us when him five [weyn] comfort walking, the axe which follows BATEMAN, from after raised in his head. 

BATEMAN hollo, pawl? 

As OWEN' goes round in five [weyn] these circumferences; From; S POV us with his face which sees Bateman swings the axe. The blood scatters to the white raincoat. After five [weyn] from, we when him the axe rapidly pulling at the outside, see BATEMAN. Falls to five [weyn] grounds. That body falls from a structure. We catch mechanically and in his leg which pulls we stay. The blood the newspaper the pulse runs to the ground which covers. Gets a reservation now in, 

BATEMAN (to raise the axe, shout stroke) Dorsia have sexual intercourse your [e] three to examine and hybrid! 

Five where he has after [weyn] as BATEMAN hits the low-end each axe. From real life, five [weyn] sound of the axe which hits the target. BATEMAN (virtue distance will break) the hybrid which is severe… Bateman will take off his raincoat, the virtue thing phosphorus which will break yet. In compliance with him the half which gets folded, from the side which is bloody attention puts on deeply in inside, it neatly, dominates and on rear of the chair which hangs down. He by the white sofa is after and investigates a scene. Inspects his Rolex and ignites a woman [song] year. From real life, pawl Owen' s last Faintly! one breaths are audible.

----------------------
It's completely indecipherable, but my favorite line was the Dorsia one, right at the end.

What movie is this?
