Someone is going to get paid to do this.

If Netflix is doing this in-house, I look forward to hearing Christopher Lloyd's character promote Orange is the New Black in Klingon!

Re: Star Trek III to get more accurate Klingon/Vulcan subtitles

That's a really well-researched article there. I just checked and Star Trek III is still available. I watched a bit, and in particular, watched some of the Klingon scenes. I can see what the problem is with the subtitles...there aren't any! The hard-coded subs that are usually present in the movie are missing. So I assume the correction, when it comes, will actually be to insert them back in the film. Considering those major aspects of the story were incorrectly reported, I have to doubt the part about Netflix translating them themselves, as well.

Studios generally use textless (subtitle free) masters when producing video files, since they're going to have to create subtitles for the films anyway.

Finally! This has always bothered me, and I remember a lot of walk-outs over this issue on opening night.
