Well, I liked it very much in my late teens. And then I went to
mandatory military service and found out that in late eighties/early
nineties in Poland it sometimes wasn't much different than first part
of the movie.

In 2000 I bought it on Amazon only to find out after first 20 minutes
that I don't want to see it any more. So it was gathering dust on my
DVD shelf ever since, not watched even once.

Slavic translations of movies and their titles are something
unbelievable ;) It is just the same in Poland too. And a friend of mine
that used to study in Leningrad (Russia) told something even better.
,,Blade Runner'' title was translated as ,,Running on the Razor'' ;)

That's why I like DVD so much, most of the time I don't even use Polish
subtitles. Only when the accent of the actors is too weird I use English
subs.
