horror subtitles

MARGIN CALL's subtitles on Sina Podcast are really bad.
The scariest subtitle in the world is when the person subtitles doesn't understand what the film is saying at all.

For example: When a young man asked WILL why a certain gentleman can be an executive of this investment bank at the age of 40, he said:
"That happens all the time, except to me. He is a killer." It

was translated as: "That kind of happens all the time, except for me, he's a murderer."

Okay.

Another example: the key scene of KEVIN SPACY changing his mind:
PETER SULIVAN (calculate the horses who hold a lot of junk assets in the whole company): I think I know your son.
SAM (played by MD, KEVIN): REALLY?
PETER: NOT WELL. BUT HE ALWAYS SEEM LIKE A NICE PERSON
SAM: HE IS A NICE PERSON. . . . . . . . . . .
peter: does he know what is going to happen?
sam: what do you mean?
peter: did you ever talk to him
sam: no...I wouldn't thought............( The father was lost in thought, unable to speak)

was translated as:
PETER: I think I know Sammy. . . . . . . . .
WTF...Semi? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ! ! ! !

And the most outrageous one:
DEMI MOORE: LOOKING BACK, IT WAS EXPRESSED WITH INSUFFICENT URGENCY.
Translated as: Looking back, there was an unnecessary sense of urgency before. . . MLGB, INSUFFICENT can be translated into the opposite meaning.
