The result showed that there were 94 idiomatic expressions found in the movie, using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form was the most common strategy used with 62 data or about 65.96%, followed by translation by paraphrasing with 21 data or 22.34%, translation by omission of a play on idiom with 4 data or 4.25%, and using an idiom of similar meaning and form with 3 data or about 3.19%. Furthermore, the least strategies used by the translator were borrowing the source language idiom and translation by omission of entire idiom with 2 data of each or around 2.13%.
