Hilarious HK Subtitles !
Hong Kong Movies are legendary for mind-boggling mangling of the English language. Bad spelling or bad grammar, new or missing words, unintended double meanings and utter nonsense. Even if the film is awful, the subtitles usually entertain.

Title of a book featured in Bomb Disposal Squad / Baby Bomb - " How to make a boom ".
