We're not all xenophobic around these parts, mate - I love German films. 

Do you think I sounded xenophobic? It certainly wasn't intended to be that way

It was offensive and xenophobic, yes...



...of course, I'm on a wind up 

[Peter Neal]

Don't worry, guys! I didn't take it like that anyway.

It's just since I'm a somewhat professional writer (well, at least radio plays ) I've delivered a deep love for the written and spoken German word.

@Jonny: Try out some of the Dietrich/Franco collaborations in German. May be the likes of "Loveletters of a Portugese Nun" or "Blue Rita" might swing your impression slightly more to the positive. The naughty Father Vincent in "Loveletters.." having the German voice of Clint Eastwood might be intriguing...or not.

Cheers and have a great weekend,

We were all joshing, Markus. Didn't realise you wrote radio plays, mate...

So, back on topic, if you've not seen BLOODY FRIDAY, you simply must, mate!

I might just do that amigo! 

Back on topic...

I was watching this the other day and there was one bit that made me laugh. Heinz goes to a bar with Luigi and his girlfriend and she says to him something along the lines of "Should you be out in public?" as she's concerned he might get recognised and arrested. He replies that he'll be fine as no one knows him in that town... I laughed because he's about 6 and half feet tall with a big bushy beard, tight leather trousers and big bug eyed shades. He sticks out like a sore thumb! 

Reminds me of a homicidal Bee Gee!

It's a great film, eh? He's a proper nasty piece of work in the film.

He's a mentalist isn't he?!

I only found out today that Raimund Harmstorf, who played the bearded nutbag, committed suicide aged 57 after discovering he had Parkinson's disease.

That's awful. It's ashame when you find out about these crime stalwarts comming suicide. I was shocked to hear about Luigi Pistili and Frank Wolff - the latter in particular, as it was so brutal.

having the German voice of Clint Eastwood might be intriguing...or not.

Did anyone famous dub Clint Eastwood's dialogue for his German releases, I know Enrico Maria Salerno did Clint's voice for the dollars films.

Well, depends on what you call famous I guess.
People interested in the German dubbing industry and the voices behind the stars certainly recognize him.

Klaus Kindler dubbed Clint in most of his films from the early "Dollar" days on, but he died after "Space Cowboys". Having grown up with Kindler's voice as Clint's I find it hard to watch more recent efforts with the German audio track, particularly since I really liked his voice.

[Fraser]

thank you for the offer, I have all this already my friend.
I have pretty much all corners covered,
An Italian Wide version (bad visual quality)
German fullscreen
French Fullscreen
English Fullscreen
English Fullscreen with Spanish Subs (best English audio)
Turkish Betamx (possible master, top quality)

A friend of mine is providing some high qua lobby card scans for a picture gallery.
As far as extras go, im including two alternate text openings, gallery, extensive film notes and was thinking of adding bonus trailers for cool Eurocrime flicks.

Im looking for an Original Trailer atm if anybody can help with that.

Thank you

[Jonny]

Be cool if you could give us some screen grabs in comparison the the German DVD mate!

[Inspector Tanzi]

I know its not technically Italian but a German co-production, Bloody Friday.

Great film Fraser


maybe this thread should be called "What Are Your Favourite Euro Crime Flicks"

BTW is passed up a Dutch release on EVC on ebay a couple of months ago because it was in German language, so there's another one for you to look out for 

[Fraser]

I'll definately be on the look out for the dutch video.
I'll post some screencaps in a few days mate, once my friend transfers it from the Betamax with some Menu and cover concepts.

[Fraser]

These are some of the ideas for the cover. all work in progress.





and this is the turkish cover.
