We thought this would be a good occasion to work on other foreign releases of the same film, since we are at work to remove all the text.
Am I right to guess that at least Germany and France had their own localized versions on Laserdisc?
As a matter of fact, no. The German version used the English master throughout (as was the case with T2 as well), whereas the intro text and the relevant HUD status messages were translated by voiceover.
