this version was better cause it was longer and the nazis shouting made it more authentic

Brian Singer did a great job with X-men 1 and 2. Too bad he left X3 for Superman Returns, X3 would of been a good movie if he'd directed it.

wow kind of wierd how they just recreated this scene in First Class with another actor who looks almost the same as Erik in this scene. Minus Shaw near the end of the scene in First Class.

@illawarrasteelers Okay , maybe they didn`t found it exactly . But , you can`t deny that a large number of German Jewish refugees escaped Nazi persecution by emigrating from Germany to Poland , which fueled Hitler`s obsession with invading the country .I`m sorry , I did not intend to offend . Infact , I am of Polish descent on my mom`s side so I sympathize with the Polish people`s plight .

So, so wrong. Don't say this to Polish people. Poland was certainly not formed by German immigrants.

Does anyone know if the score is on youtube?

@john3000931 Judging by his voice when he speaks English in " First Class " , it`s also quite likely he spent some time in Ireland .

[1993MovieMan]

@john3000931 Because , he lived in Germany for a while when he was hiding out after The Holocaust looking for information on the ones responsible for his mother`s death , then he went to England and learned English after the camps were liberated and later immigrated to America .

@diedahero Never have I been so sympathetic towards a villain...

[1993MovieMan]

@IamKingOfHearts In The Films , his father`s German and his mother`s Polish . Both were Jews . As was Erik before his experiences caused him to lose faith in humanity and the grace of God .

@greyization Most Poles are fluent in German as well as Polish due to Poland being founded by German immigrants . Also in most of Erik`s scenes in First Class , he was speaking to Germans while here he`s speaking to his Polish mother .
