Help locating Movies with Chinese Mandarin subtitles

[beefytwinkie]

Can anyone tell me any good movies with Chinese Mandarin subtitles? I know The Fifth Element has Chinese Mandarin subtitles but that's about it. I tried to google this but I am having no luck.

Anyway, if anyone knows of any movies with Mandarin subtitles please let me know! My mom doesn't speak English very well and sometimes I can't translate what people say word for word in films.

If anyone can direct me to helpful sites that could possibly search by subtitle languages or something would be great as well. And I should also add that they don't have to be Blu-Ray titles. Regular DVD is fine, too!

Thanks for reading.

There is a thread on AVS Forum that attempts to tracks this. Most Blu-ray titles that specify generic "Chinese" subtitles on the packaging seem to use the traditional character set, although Sony occasionally provides simplified characters. Fox most frequently lists their subs as Cantonese but it seems that the usage of Cantonese slang and expressions may be minimal on most Fox titles. I don't read (or speak) Chinese, however, so can't say for sure.

Thank you, Cinema Squid. You just helped make my mom happy. You're the man.

Maybe you can import Hongkong released titles, which are more likely to carry Chinese subs.

Are you sure about the Die Hard Collection? Just watched Live Free or Die Hard! Subtitles are Cantonese. Says it on the back of box too. Amazon doesn't list it, just says English, Spanish, French. This site just says Chinese. Assumed if collection has Mandarin so would single disc.Took a chance
