There was a scene in "leverage" that I never understood until I saw it in English. The words were right in the translation, but the meaning, pronunciation and inflection behind them did not translate at all.Fair enough. Though sometimes the subtitles are completely wrong.
I remember watching "La Femme Nikita" in its original French with English speaking friends. And I was often going:
-That's not right.
-That's not what they said.
-No. No. No. It's close, but it changes the whole scene when you know they said... (been too long for specifics)
Then again, there's no guarantee that they wouldn't fuck it up just as much, or worse, with a translation.
It was the worst possible literal translation they could do, almost as if the person reading the lines did not know what was going on in the scene.
