“Actual” (apparently) English subtitles

There are hundreds of lists online of “actual English subtitles” from Hong Kong action movies, but only a couple with the movie titles. That sort of thing bugs me, so here’s one more list on the internet that includes the movie titles. Of course, I haven’t seen these movies so the subtitles could still be made up. Who knows?
