Engrish TTT Captions The Two Towers Captions
This webpage celebrates the wonderful engrish subtitles featured in an asian bootleg DVD of Lord of The Rings - The Two Towers. What you see is exactly what appears on the TV screen. The first half of the movie has the most screengrabs, as there is more action than talking later on, and the subtitle writers eventually started getting the name of the characters right. Have fun!
Highlight the area beneath each image to see what the characters actually say.

GESLOOPTE FLITSPALEN
De toenemende controlegekte in Nederland leidt steeds vaker tot grote irritatie en frustratie onder de voorheen zo brave, volgzame en grif betalende automobilisten. Dagelijks krijgen wij mail van mensen die zo ongeveer uit hun vel springen omdat ze voor de zoveelste keer voor een pietluttige overschrijding van de maximum snelheid grof geld moeten afstaan. Maar sommigen laten het niet bij vloeken en schelden. Ik hoor vaak van controleurs dat ze zich bedreigd voelen en steeds vaker worden de zo gehate flitspalen met grof geweld buitenspel gezet. De meeste worden gekroond met een autoband, die vervolgens in brand wordt gestoken. Andere krijgen een lading hagel om de oren of worden met een tractor in 'pose Pisa' geplaatst. En dat is niet leuk voor het graaiduo Zalm-Netelenbos. Een (geladen) radarpaal kost z'n ƒ 180.000,= en dat gaat ten koste van die poet van 570 miljoen die ze jaarlijks uit onze zakken roven.

Warum eine 106-Jährige partout nicht eingeschult werden will
Hasst sie Schultüten? Sind ihr Kinderstühle zu klein, sitzt sie nicht gern im Schulbus? Ingeborg Thuen ist anders als die anderen Kinder. Jetzt forderte ihre Gemeinde sie auf, ab Februar die erste Schulklasse zu besuchen. Aber die 106 Jahre alte Norwegerin will nicht recht - und weiß dafür einen einleuchtenden Grund.
