Question about Das Boot

Yorktown_Class · 04-14-08, 11:35 PM

I am going to buy the movie,but was wondering,I am going to get the original uncut version,I assume it will be in German,but does it show English caption at the bottom??

Thanks

You really need to check out the box as there seem to be three main versions - original German, German with subtitles and English dubbed.

The German with subtitles is, IMHO, the best of the bunch if you're a non-German speaker.

I have the directors cut of the film and prefer to watch it in German with subtitles, even if I have the option to watch it in english. It just looses some impact in english.

The yell of "ALARM!" still send shivers up my spine!

Yes.

Everyone keeps quoting the box. I've watched it many times and always used the subtitles.

This is the version I have and the one I believe is best for you: (you'll obviously want the Region 1 version for North America and Canada).

It has been digitally remastered and includes both the English and German languages as well as English subtitles.

Klicked your link to Amazon out of curiosity and some idiot wants $45.00 for Directors Cut.:rotfl:

I bought Full version for $19.99 at Frys Electronics and the SUPERBIT Directors cut at Walmart for $14.99

As much as I love Das Boot it isn't that rare. ($45.00)

I think only an idiot would pay that sort of inflated price
