Rush Hour 3 – Subtitles, What Subtitles?

I sat down and watched Rush Hour 3 on DVD for the first time a week or two ago. I knew it wasn’t going to be very good, but I’m a fan of Jackie Chan and the crazy moves he does so I had to do it. I was correct in my assumption that it wouldn’t be the best movie by a long shot, but that’s not what I’m ranting about today. For anyone who has seen Rush Hour 3, you’ll know that the movie is set in France, so logically there are a few scenes that involved a bit of French dialog. Not being able to understand French at all (sorry Mrs. Green for not paying attention in French class), I decided to check if there were English subtitles so I could follow what was being said. There was so I turned the on and watched a scene again. Check out the screen shot of what the subtitles gave me in all their glory…

Now bear in mind that “We’re gonna need…” is what they are saying in English. What they are saying in French is translated to “(Speaking in French)”! How useless is that!
