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

Region 1 is for North America and Canada

I own the VHS version which contains 3 video tapes. This is the original, non-director's cut. As being one who once knew every single dialog of this movie I really missed some scenes in the cut version.

But I would really like to see the english synchronised version once.
Does anybody know where at least some extracts from it can be viewed ? I didn't find anything on youtube.

As a child I loved this film, though.

Edit: Does anybody know Buchheim's full comments to the movie at the time it was being published ?

Don't know if there is a translation somewhere. If not, maybe I should translate and post it ?

go with the special directors cut. subtitles are always better than dubbed.

When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.
