For those of you who care:

An interesting take, but Iām still not sure whether I want to watch the film even now. It appears on British TV quite often, so maybe Iāll record it and see what I think rather than paying for the DVD.
Does it really appear on British TV regularly?
I have only BBC 1&2 and donāt remember any screening (but I might have overlooked it). Itās hardly ever shown on Dutch or Belgian TV either, and I recorded it from a French action network (actually called āActionā)
I watched it mainly out of curiosity and because it has some historic relevance as a ādifferentā Vietnam movie
I still rmember liking Ken russel flick The Lair of the White Worm, but Catherine Oxenberg must have something to do with that. He also was in some movies that I like, like The Remains of the Day.
I think that movie Four Weddings and a Funeral wasnāt bad, but it so popular, and so often shown on TV, that Iāve seen it already a few times too many. Most films with Andie McDowell fall in this special category āApproved by the pope and Santaā, that is: hard to avoid in the last week of the year
when i think about it, i like more than one - above aforementioned Lair of the White Worm, also Extreme measures and some comedies, actually i think he is quite a good and funny actor 
iĀ“ve never seen Four Weddings, somehow it was very boring to me and i couldnĀ“t go through
Love Actually is similar case, itĀ“s too often on TV (but this one i quite liked)
The guy should have tried some action flicks, perhaps some WWII based films, with him as a British officer or something, like those war films Mel Gibson did in early career. Shooting some guns might had help him in those LA streets ;D
or western ;D, Hugh as unshaved hero and Andie McDowell as a townĀ“s whore

Here in Britain we have a free-to-view film channel called Film4 that in recent months has been showing The Green Berets quite a few times, which Iām surprised at.
By the way, what do you of BBC 1 & 2? How well do they compare to Dutch and Belgian TV; are the Dutch and Belgian channels any good?

No, theyāre no good. Dutch TV has a reasonably good Late Night Talkshow and a couple of not too bad TV series (comedy and drama) were made in recent years, but overall Dutch TV is famous for the things Endemol produces: Big Brother, The Voice of ā¦ and other stuff. Thereās no polution like Dutch polution.
Belgian TV is even worse. They do have a decent Sunday morning talkshow though.
Back to the Hauser discussion, he was the king of VHS. Besides you knew that Hauser = boobs.
Hauser has been in so many crap films 
.
[quote=āENNIOO, post:6393, topic:1923ā]Hauser has been in so many crap films .[/quote]He probably took roles no one else would take because they knew they were no good.
Sure heās been in many crap films, pretty much everything he did was crap. But it was great crap.
I like films that are so shit they are good but Hauser is shitter than shit, heās my most annoying actor ever ;D
[size=12pt]PerchƩ quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer [/size] (The Case of the Bloody Iris - 1972, Giuliano Carnimeo)
The second movie I watched on Christmas eve, after Clintās Hang 'em High. Good to see some familiar faces from spaghetti westerns in a different context, but neither Hilton nor Carnimeo seem to be at ease in these modern surroundings of a seventies Italian metropole. The story is of the usual Agatha Christie meets Hitchcock type, with a lot of fake blood and real nudity added. The times had changed since the glory days of the spaghetti westerns (only half a decade ago!) and censors had become far more lenient
If you like gialli (Iām not a special fan) and beautiful women (Iām a fan) this film delivers the goods: Edwige Fenech, Anabella Incontrera, Paola Quattrini, plus a super wrestling show in a night club between a black female judo expert and her helpless admirer. The giallo aspects are reasonably well done: I usually know the identity of the killer halfway, but this movie kept me guessing. And what a title.
Watch it with subtitles, I saw a dub, and it sounded awful. Every time I saw dear Edwige I thought: oh come on, open your heart, keep you mouth shut.
Why not translate the title so that we all know about the āand what a titleā ?
Something like Why hm hm hm the blood of the corpse of Jennifer (not Iris)
It has to be something like āwhy are those strange drops of blood in Jenniferās body?ā
I thought Wings Hauser was good in Vice Squad, thatās the only thing iāve seen him in.
