Probably my favorite part of the film. The Tipperary Song. It won't make me the King of England!!

That's the strangest thing about Das Boot.

I have the (sony, please don't shoot me) "Super Bit" edition. It's the Director's Cut, 117 minutes or so. Then there's a 137 minute Director's Cut. Then there's the screen 93 minute version.

And they all have completely different subtitles. I mean, the chief engineer says "assh-le" in one version, and "lunatic" in another. Is it "assh-le" or is it "lunatic", because those two words have seperate meaning in English.

It's the whackiest movie I've ever seen, even above "Aliens" and Star Wars movies (original, remastered, special edition, meow skywalker, etc.).

Well, translations are always fun.
I took a course two years ago on Anglo-Irish literature. One of my papers was on translations, and how meaning can be shifted due to the idiosyncracies of translation. Reading three different translations of four texts was pretty wearing, but now I can't stop it! I've got different versions of almost every translated book I like

I have a couple of versions of Das Boot, and the (crappier) VHS dubbed version I have, which I bought many years ago when it was the only one available, actually says 'manuel' (i.e. the Spanish name) on the subtitles when it should read 'manual' (as in 'switch to manual'), which gives you an idea of how crappy some subtitles can be.
