Spinal Tap subtitle question........

[Yoda]

Does anyone know, if you can turn the captions off on the corrected version of the disc?, or are they always set to "on"?

I tried that when I discovered they were subtitles, on I kept switching them off (or even to another subtitle stream, like spanish) and they keep defaulting back. I could see this being a little confusing to non-english speaking persons when all of a sudden English pops up, then reverts back to the other language.

I have another question, on the previous Criterion version, did it have other languages in the subtitle streams for non-english speaking persons, and if it did, did it translate the burnt in captions? Because this doesn't happen on the MGM disk so if they don't speak a word of english, they miss the joke.

I don't think you can turn the captions off. According to my DVD software on my PC, the captions are called "English - Forced Captions" and the "none" option is turned off.

Oddly enough, when I stick the movie in my PC, the French subtitles are on by default.
