Oh..right...what's this film about ? Is it any good ?

German with subtitles is a must, the crew saying "Captain" instead of Herr Kaleun seems a little out of place to me

Oh, and does anyone know where to get the soundtrack for the movie? In particular , the theme music?

I agree. It's the same thing with any other foreign language film: I cannot stand the english track.

I have the "superbit" version. As far as I know, it's the director's cut with a little higher bitrate on the video.

When I play the movie in Germen with English subs and play SH3 I usually sink 3 to 5 times as much shipping then otherwise. Strange isn't?:hmm:

I got mine here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ss_T15_product

Amazon.de has it available as an mp3 download. Don't know about other non-US Amazon sites. The North American release of the CD is out of print IIRC - the import from a third party seller was the only thing I could find there.

Best sub movie by far, although 4:42 is a tad long to watch in a single sitting, i picked it up for 99p from woolworths before they went bust, bargin!

Way to go

It's available on Netflix via instant stream. I watched on my Xbox 360. More than once.

seen this movie several times since 1985, when watching the tv-version as a child. this was a magic moment...when my parents left me home and letting me watch tv. and there was this great and unforgetable movie "Das Boot". Afterwards i got the book "Iron coffins" from Herbert A. Werner and my uboat frenzy started.

I guess it is not available in english, but i recently bought my copy of a book called "The search for the crew of U-96" (Die Suche nach der Crew von U-96, which is a "catalog" with 300 sites from the german film-museum. There was a fair in this museum, called "Das Boot revisited" with all kind of photos, relics, requisites, etc. shown from the film.

Just finished watching the Wolfgang Peterson collection, watched Das Boot and Air Force One back to back.

Saw a cool tribute to Das Boot in Air Force One. General Radek is played by Jurgen, who is the Captian of the U-Boat is Das Boot. When General Radek is released from a Russian prison (watch the movie), four men in Russian uniform come to meet him. The two with their covers off are crewmembers from Das Boot. The only reason I realized it is because I watched it back to back. Shortly after that, Jurgen gets machine-gunned again.

Bad luck dying as a German AND a Russian officer. Perhaps he should try American.

Judging by the list I found online a while back, he seems to have bad luck in a LOT of his movies:

http://www.jpwsfc.org/fates.htm

Some of the more interesting ones include shot by arrows, shot in the neck with harpoon, ripped apart by robot, and survives but goes out with Patsy Kensit.

I guess it's because he's been cast as a villain so often. Shame, really. Although he typically does a fine job with it.

Terragon · 01-02-10, 07:02 PM

Would you consider him a villain in Das Boot? Just curious.
