Gotta make sure it's rendered the same on IE5 still.

Chrome is in a similar position that IE used to be. It uses its majority position to move web development away from standards and so devs need to write extra code to support both chrome and others - or make chrome only sites.
It varies a lot from movie to movie. Some are very well done, others not so much. Back in the old days they would go as far as pick a new name for a movie just to make some pun work properly when translated. Sometimes references are replaced for others that make more sense in the localized context.
But in general these days the subtitles don't get much attention and they often pick simple/literal translations for everything, while dubs often get a lot more work put on them but also tend to dumb down the content to simplify things for a wider audience.
One English expression that often gets overlooked on Portuguese subtitles and I get really annoyed when I see is "it can't be helped". In Portuguese it feels like you're talking about yourself in third person.
And another, closer to your example, that I have seen used wrong at least two times before. "Screw you" being used in the movie with the meaning of "fuck you" and the subtitle translating it with the word used for tightening a screw.
There's a lot of misinformation on Wikipedia too, of many different kinds. Some smaller pages exists purely for someone's PR. I've seen blatantly false (but "verifiable") stuff too but the most common thing is to have pages that are just creative with the truth.
Also sometimes I'll notice an article make multiple different claims that all point to the same source and then check the source and realize it is not a valid source for all of those claims, just some.
And also there's stuff that gets flagged as verified based on extrapolation of data from a combination of sources. For example: one source says "John Doe facing 1 billion dollars fines if found guilty" and another source says "John Doe was found guilty", then the article says "John Doe fined 1 billion dollars after being found guilty" as verified, then you go search the web and find no mention of any fines actually being issued following the verdict.
They aren't wrong though. Mario 64 (and even Ocarina of Time too) were great because of how much they evolved videogames as a whole, but as pioneers they have a lot of flaws that game devs took a bit longer to figure out.
thanks for using Leebra!
