Engrish = broken English. Remember the Episode III “Backstroke of the West” bootleg?

In the case of FOTR, instead of it being a translation to Chinese and back to English, the Asian bootleggers tried to transcribe the English dialogue as they heard it, and failed miserably. There are bootlegs for the other two as well (TTT’s bootleg is even more notorious.)

Here are screenshots from the bootleg DVD I was referring to, these have been circulating as an Internet meme for almost 14 years. I found an old site on Wayback Machine that has all the images. I have no idea who still has an actual copy. But look at the color of the Council scenes, don’t they have less of a tint than the official DVDs?
