Question about Das Boot

bookworm_020 · 04-14-08, 11:45 PM

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!

The nice thing about the dubbed version is that all the actors where able to voice their Englisch selves.

It is interesting to watch Das Boot dubbed in English with English subtitles.

They don't match up very well

There's another version produced by Superbit; the picture quality is supberb if you've got a really good dvd player and hd tv. Haven't seen the other one, though really would like to see the special features on the other version.

I'm not sure that all of the actors did I have an audiobook of Das Boot read by Wolf Kahler and it states that he dubbed the voice of the first engineer in the English version.

To quote the publisher's site...
"Wolf Kahler was the voice of the first engineer in the English-dubbed version of the feature film of Das Boot and played a U-boat captain in Britannic. Stage work includes the National Theatre, the Freehold Company and Steven Berkoff. Films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Remains of the Day and Barry Lydon. He has done extensive TV and radio work."
