  • Grammar & spelling corrected for Stephen Chow Sing Chee's Cantonese version. For Cantonese (a dialect of Chinese) films, predominantly out of Hong Kong, translation is extremely difficult as eastern languages inherently comes with a multitude of colloquial (culturally influenced) sayings and phrases, most of them extremely humourous and super difficult to correctly translate grammatically or in syntax/context.
