It was me.

One of the plot points involves poetry which was nicely translated before but rendered meaningless gibberish here.

Less elegant, I'll grant you. But that's because I take less license than most translators. Cantonese dialogue isn't typically poetic in nature. Perhaps I should've finessed it a bit.

And did officials exchanging formal platitudes really sprinkle their lobbying with "f"s and "mf"s?

That's what's in the script. For what it's worth Tiger Lei is supposed to be crude, his language out of place in proper society.

I'm done with Arrow and 88 films HK fare until they hire paid professionals or offer multiple sub tracks including legacy ones.

I'm not responsible for any of Arrow's subs. Phew!

Maybe I'm being overly critical but it really ruined the experience for me. Is it just me?

Ruined seems a bit much, no? But opinions vary.
