Come now, what's the big deal? Virtually all of the main actors speak their lines for the English version as well. And as for your DVD being different, it's the unfortunate effect of regionalisation - DVDs for different regions often have slightly different content, including sometimes different cuts of the film (due to differing film classification regulations).Originally posted by Sonntag

Oh well that's a pity... The German Version is actually the best (ok I am German so I understand it) But you saw it in French? That's strange, as my DVD only has German and English...
And why couldn't he be a replicant designed to hunt down replicants?
He might have already been around for quite a while. Indeed, having read quite a few Phillip K. Dick stories, I think he would have approved of both the implications, and the new ending.Oh, come on. That monologue wouldn't make any sense - it's insulting to the viewer's intelligence. Do you really think that they gave Rachel an unlimited lifespan just on the off chance that she'll fall in love with Deckard? Get outta here - she was an experiment, like all others. And of course, apart from that silly "no determined lifespan" bit, the rest of the monologue just tells the viewer what he already knows. We know Gaff had been there and let her live. We know that they've got no idea how long they'll be together. And we even heard that "then again who does" bit
.Well it is correct that they are speaking their own lines, the main problem is that with all films, synchronisaiton destroys the movie (I hate English movies in the German Versions). For example, jokes cannot be translated properly. In Das Boot, a lot of atmosphere comes from the different dialects people on board are speaking, e.g someone from Hamburg next to someone from Austria. This
Indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed Independence Day - it played really well on the big screen, but why, oh why did we only see American landmarks being blown up? Admittedly, they did show some of the atmospheric "phenomena" in Russia and Africa, but I still felt they could have done more. It was nice to see the city destroyer flattening Sydney metropolitan for two seconds at the end too, but... it was all too American for me.Originally posted by Quarto
ID4? Where does the 4 come from?
Yes, well, I obviously wouldn't pick up the different accents
. Though actually, in most cases the accents would, at least in theory, carry over to the English version - again, because most are speaking their own lines. But then of course there's at least several minor characters who didn't speak their own lines, and thus have a Bri'ish accent in the English version. (apparently, the gyroscopes on the special hand-held camera were too loud).
Two smileys per post
.I wasn't at all pleased with P2's ending, actually
(but that's just me personally objecting to my character taking over the Kindred; all things considered, it certainly was appropriate). Anyway, I think it's just a matter of what you see first - most DCs don't change the ending, so naturally people object. Had you seen the DC first, I'm sure your view would be different.
Hmm, that's right. I remember reading what appeared to be an earlier version of the script, and being surprised by the existence of that scene. And the fact that the ending was even more downbeat (it seemed to be implied that Rachel actually died).
Ohhhh yeah...
