Twelve Who Must Need To Require Bathe*

I spent part of the weekend looking at foreign films. I like all kinds of foreign films--not just the ones featuring, say, Evelin in that epic picture "Budapest Booboolas." And I really like foreign films subtitled by non-native English speakers. Examples, from Hong Kong chop-sockies:
  • "I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way."
  • "Fatty, you with your thick face have hurt my instep."
  • "A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries."
  • "How can you use my intestines as a gift?"
And my favorite: "You always use violence. I should've ordered glutinous rice chicken."

(* "Twelve Who Must Need To Require Bathe": is the translated title of the Lee Marvin film "The Dirty Dozen")

Nigel,

You have got to get your hands on a copy of Kung Pow...That movie is the epitomy of bad Chinese action, Kung Fu flicks...Funny as hell!
