So I subscribe to NetFlix...
Anyhow, I just got really frustrated when I rented Jet Li's The Legend of the Red Dragon. I was psyched, as I thought I had never seen the movie, but it was just an American version of The New Legend of Shaolin. I put it in, started watching and was all... Damit, I've seen this, I own it, both on DVD and VHS...

Yeah, especially concidering the title here actually made sense...

Kinda like how Enter the 36th Chamber is called Shaolin MasterKiller; which begs the question, is he 'a master at killing,' or a 'killer of masters'?

Danish translations are mostly stupid also. luckily they stopped doing it that much.
Like BL's "the Big Boss" was called "Karate-Fists of Steel"
wtf
that was zen, this is tao
alternate titles I can accept, but how about some good titles.
The Legend (1 & 2) - yeah that's eloquent
The Enforcer - original title was better, "My Father is a Hero"
The Defender - not bad, sounds better than "The Bodyguard from Beijing"
what's next? Legend of Hard Boiled?

I kinda like the literal translations complete with broken english - a true classic being "Born to Defence."
