Both the methods of subtitling and dubbing are almost never say what they are supposed to (just see the link and scroll down to 'English subtitle in Hong Kong films'). At least in the original version, you can interpret what is going on strictly by the actions and the tone of the characters. When film companies come in and translate them, however, I find that it's much easier to get confused due to the many mistakes that the translators cause (and I have to wonder if anyone actually proof-reads the 'new' script). Therefore, I believe that 'leave the movie as it is' should be a choice.

I know... next to impossible, but for those who truly believe in the artistic merit of their film, or genuinely feel that much would be lost in a standard translation, it might be the best means to an end.

But I'm afraid there might be a shortage of bilingual actors.
