But still in the movie almost half of u96's crew got killed in real life nobody died.

More to the point, in the book nobody died (well, it seems as though the captain does, but he did write two sequels). Also, in the many times I've watched it, I only count five dead...hardly half the crew.

Question for von hally: which version did you buy? If you haven't seen the 5-hour "Original, Uncut Version", you still haven't seen it.:rotfl:
