                        NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:

            One of TopFive's most publicized lists was
           "The Top 15 Chinese Translations of English
        Movie Titles", featuring (fictional) poorly-chosen
           and wacky "Chinglish". Well, before throwing
             stones, we ask: What Would Hollywood Do?


      The Top 8 American Translations of Chinese Movie Titles


 8. "The Honorable Samurai" - "Night of the Ninja!"

 7. "Farewell My Concubine" - "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em"

 6. "Shaolin Apprentice, Fair of Heart" - "Hot Monk Love"

 5. "Delicate Lotus Blossoms of Beijing" - "Jailbait City"

 4. "The Legend of Drunken Master" - "The Billy Joel Story"

 3. "Struggle of the Young Street Vendors" - "Bootlegging Boys of
     Bangkok"

 2. "Swordsman in Double Flag Town" - "The Panmunjon Slasher"


              and the Number 1 American Translation
                   of a Chinese Movie Title...


 1. "Master Chef Avenges Family's Murder" - "Ginsu Attack!"
