On another LOTR site 'tolkien online' I found a link to this very funny site. It's captions for TTT that are a little bit wrong...as you can see for yourself if you click on the link below.

Engrish TTT Captions (http://home.online.no/~gremmem/engrish_ttt_captions/index.htm)

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!

oh dear, do you mean those captions were the subs that really appeared on screen? But thats disastrous! Some totally do not even make sense! I would rather not have any then. Are you sure that wasn't a pirated version? lol
Thanks for sharing the neat info though.

"What business did a man and a wolf had ridden a mark"
haha, Legolas=wolf?

"Gandalf foogray that was my name"
Hoho, thats a great name! :naughty:

"cannot eat, better not sleep"
"no, i have to do Sam"
These sound pretty cheesy

"to taitose masham taken twist you"
I honestly think Gollum's mispronounciation of taters would sound more accurate...

"lovely big golden ships with noise" roflmao i'm really rolling with laughter...

"The strength of the ring barrel is failing"
So Frodo is the brand of a barrel that stores rings? lol

"I have fought many war, Master Wolf"
Ah~ Does elf really sound like wolf?

"I bring word of Elfron of River Death" :jester:

"Toast me!" :fanboy: *dying from laughter*
I would have liked to see what happened in the banter between the 'wolf' and the 'bread' over the box. ;)

"We can slip past through Sharuman (Saruman) unnoticed."
Great, like how are they gonna do that? :naughty:

"You should make fun"
"Why so serious"
This totally twists what Sam said.

i can imagine how twisted the dialogue between legolas and gimli can get at helm's deep

Gimli: What's been cooking out there?
Legolas: Shall I describe it to you, or shall I get you a fork?
