It's already a really long movie. 3.5 hours? I can hardly imagine a 6 hour version.

5. It's sad to see how far the actor who played the Captain has fallen
(I think it was the captain)

He's the only "star" in one of the worst films ever made--House of the Dead.

6. (raises hand)
You know, I imgaine such scenes, updated for technology, if the Imperial Family Bush succeeds in grinding Free America beneath it's heel.

Like the Kapitan-Leutnent, I imagine just as the German Navy Professionals loathed the "Hitler Youth", so I imgaine will Amerikan navy Professionls think similarly about about the "heinie" Freepers (Bush Youth) in their midst.

History repeats...unfortunately.

7. Absolutely... I Like The Spoken German Version With English Subtitles...
Edited on Thu Mar-11-04 04:08 PM by arwalden
but have you ever watched it with the English dialog and English subtitles? --- They DO NOT MATCH!

Sometimes the spoken English translation is a far departure from the original German version... and even when the English translation is pretty accurate, the subtitles have been paraphrased and don't quite capture the exact meaning either.

I'll definitely be looking for the latest and greatest DVD. Thanks for the heads-up!!

-- Allen

8. a movie channel ran the
6 hr version last year. it`s ok but after awhile you start to think that this must have been really boring when there was nothing to do and you would rejoice in the idea of battle. if you like the movie it is worth watching...
