chief mechanic....I think

Yep! Chief mechanic in the book too. The proper German spelling of his name is Johann.

chief mechanic... ok, got it... :up:

That's okay. For years I thought the proper Spanish spelling of Jesus was the way it sounded: Hay-sus! :lol:

Havent even seen the movie :cry: been trying to find it but no luck...

I got the Directers cut for Christmas.I am no longer a Das Boote Virgin.
I have Enjoyed it serveral times since.
Some confusion tho?
did they make it thru Gibralta? Did they just turn around?
The sound is just fantastic

They turned back from Gibraltar and went back to their starting base of La Rochelle in France. Just as the U-96 on which the book and movie is based did in real life.

Best Buys should have a lot of copies of Das Boot.
Just the other day, I went and bought the director's cut (2 dvd Superbit edition) for only $10 US dollars. It was a bargain!

Great movie too! :up: Very sad ending.

Punisher is in South Africa. Don't know if they have a Best Buy. ;) There is always the Internet.

LOL, I didn't notice that.... Ooopsies....

Damn Best Buys and their un-globalization tactics! :P :lol:

They just released the full miniseries on DVD (6 hours I think)... Going to get it even though I have the Director's Cut :)

(and I've read the book... I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the film!)

I found a copy of the 2 DVD set at Border's Books. It's gonna take me a day off to come up with 6+ hours of uninterrupted watch time. And that doesn't include the 'extra' stuff on the disks.

I stuck it in my computer when I first got it home just to see if I could find something I hadn't seen in the VHS director's cut I already watched. Yup! Some guy dressed up like some slinky babe in next-to-nothing dancing around in some part of the boat, obviously during some slack time. Can't wait to park in front of the tube with a bowl of popcorn and a few beers handy... :up:

yeah that scene was trippy, was that the kid who frst shows up with the "little friends"?
They were rockin out till the mate comes into the "whorehouse" and tells them of the unfortunate football results :|\

oop hijackin the thread sorry

they turned back and went to La ROchelle?!? Wut?1 I thought they made it thru GIBRALTER to La SPezia!!
