Fundamental English Subtitles Mistakes??



Watched this on Film 4 recently and am sure there are some subtitle number mistakes that detract from the film.

Near the beginning it is stated, as a reason for not changing the method by which a new leader is elected, that the tradition is 100 years old. I thought, big deal, not very long at all.

Later, the story of the original 5 survivors and founding members of the tradition is said to have begun 300 years ago. With all the visuals shown I thought this must be a mistake and must be more like 3,000 years ago and so the previous 100 years quote was likely to be 1,000 years.

Can anyone confirm??!

300 years ago refers to the formation of Triads at the end of the Ming Dynasty. 100 years refers to the formation of the specific Wo Sing Society of Triads.
