I think "Eier" is also used as a slang term for testicles but I'm not sure how they ended up with "screws" in the subtitles.

Perhaps he was a disguntled crew member/cook and he was trying to say "Balls!!"
Subtitles are an iffy matter at best. I saw a Japanese film once with two sets of subtitles, one in English and the other in French. They took up almost the lower third of the frame. On top of this, the producers apparently went for cheap and hired university students to do the subtitles. The English subs read like a frat boy version of the dialog ("Chaps, His Lordship is really a bummer..."); the French subs were apparently done by a socialist ("Our decadent Lord is defying the will of the people..."). The film itself was just an ordinary samurai film and not at all political...
