From: Tony Williams English SIUC We must not forget SOLDIER OF ORANGE or TURKISH DELIGHT either. These are both Dutch films starring Rutger Hauer. TURKISH DELIGHT is a sexually explicit film but far more serious (especially the conclusion) than Verhoeven's later Hollywood work. FLESH AND BLOOD is an interesting medieval epic with all the characters (including "Tom Cruise" type young hero and heroine Jennifer Jason Leigh totally corrupt in motivations and behavior). It is a film contradicting Hollywood codes of morality and interesting (despite Susan Tyrell's anti-Rutger tirade in a past issue of PSYCHOTRONIC). But is it not interesting that both Verhoeven and Hauer have done little work of any value since their incorporation into the current dreck mood of Hollywood cinema? Surely, another example of talents dissipated by American cultural imperialism. Let's look at the wider picture.
