That's why I love DVDs so much, having the original AND (if necessary) the German version.<br /><br />Interesting sidenote: the German voice of Captain Kirk is the same as the German voice of Sean Connery. So if you watch the early James Bond movies and close your eyes, you think Jim Kirk is talking.<br /><br />Also interesting, they changed the German voice of Picard somewhere during the run of TNG. <br />Now in the movie Outbreak, The "bad" general (played by Donald Sutherland) and the "good" one (the other actor with the distinct white hair) have the two different Picard voices. So close your eyes and you can listen to Picard arguing with Picard - it's quite fun! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ November 16, 2002, 11:12: Message edited by: Austin Powers ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Spike</b> <br /><small>Member # 322</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,15,6,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 15, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:12 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Star Trek TNG in English is much better than the German version.

Funny to hear Worf singing Hungarian - English-Hungarian phrasebook anyone?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Hungarian sounds a bit like Klingon in fact!<br /><br />About why they also included a Hungarian version on the DVD, don't ask me why - I haven't got a clue. It would be more fitting to have a Turkish version for the German market - as they do with the Disney DVDs. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,19,8,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 19, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:13 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> "My hovercraft is full of <i>gagh</i>." <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
