About 15-18 years ago I had exchanged emails with Sifiso Maphanga who played Arthur, the silent South African kid, he had a good memory of the shoot and of Dolph.

I found his email to me from 2000, If I remember he had visited the website:

"I enjoyed working with Dolph a great deal. He is a very nice person. He is kind, a humanitarian, helpful and very supportive. Not once during the whole production, did I see Dolph loose his temper."

Hoping they got a quality master from Nu Image like the PEACEKEEPER one use in France.

And for other européean countries (like France) ?

No info about other releases, and in France I think the distributor isn't too hot about releasing this one, especially since I'm not sure their double features of last year sold very well...

Uncut (the German VHS was trimmed by a few min), with a rating lowered to FSK-16 and in 24fps (1080p HD proper speed like 35mm prints)...

Finally another Dolph I can cross off the list of titles that need upgrading.

Personally though there are 3 or 4 other titles I would prefer get a good Blu-Ray release.

(it says "uncut" because the initial German releases were not)

By the way, "THE SWEEPER" was the production title before they changed it to SWEEPERS.
