When Subtitles Go Wrong

A friend of mine recently returned from a trip to China. While there, she picked up some of those amazingly cheap DVDs. They're all really high quality DVDs. Flash labels on the discs, well--presented packaging, the works.
It's a pity they couldn't get it right as well as looking good. One of the movies had a blurb on the back for a completely different movie. Another, Howl's Moving Castle, is easily the best of the bunch. The disc has Japanese audio with Chinese and English subtitles. Only the English subtitles are for a completely different movie. Watch as Miyazaki's family movie is transformed into... something else:

What's really impressive is that despite being completely wrong, these subtitles are still perfectly timed to the movie.
