Thanks to the national audiovisual archives here, I dug up a French TV interview of Dolph during the release of the film (he did quite a few TV and radio shows here including mainstream newscasts)

Another gem I found, the interview of artist Mike Zeck ("Punisher: Circle of Blood" and "Return to Big Nothing") with the first footage shown on French TV in June 1989.


(at the time, Zeck was quite impressed by the footage he'd seen and Dolph's portrayal)

A raving magazine review of my book from "Ciné Kung Fu" arguing that it could be reference if we taught writing books on the history of a films, comparing it with the making of CHINATOWN and the works of Laurent Bouzereau...
