i advise everyone who is able to understand german to look for the german version and watch it because it is even funnier than the english one.
well, at least the scene in the beginning where tim curry asks whoopi goldberg about the microfilm is the best translation job ever done in the history of film.
I am right now watching this one on RTLII for like the 7th time already... still funny. lol.
shareToo bad that Tim Curry was dubbed by Bruce Willis' usual German dubber and Bruce Willis was not.
shareyeah, but the movie still all the funny.
"Lirum Larum Löffelstiel, wer nicht fragt, weiss nicht viel." this quote alone shows you how good the german translation ist.
Act in haste, repent in leisure.

But he who hesitates is lost.

Never judge a book by its cover

Becker: What? I don't know nothin'. I didn't see nothin'. I ain't say nothin'.
Wes Luger: Nothing, the word is nothing, not nothin'. There's an i-n-g on the end of it. Nothing.
Becker: Ok, nothing. Nothiiing. Nothiiiiiiiiiiing. Ok, you happy?
Wes Luger: That's better.

No offense, but "Wilderness girls" still sounds better. :P
I thought especially the duel between Shatner and Denis Leary made absolutely no sense when "translated" to German. Or the whole "he was ID'd... Oh, I see" thing. A couple of scenes, in fact, some which just are impossible to translate properly.
Still, I laughed my balls off when I saw this the first time. Even bad dubbing can't harm this movie.
