With the re-release of RoboCop – the director’s chillingly prescient sci-fi gorefest – we look back at his Hollywood debut and the rest of his best films
Rutger Hauer, in his sixth and last film for Verhoeven, plays the leader of a band of mercenaries who kidnap and deflower the fiancee of a duplicitous nobleman, in this Dutch-American mini epic set in Italy during the middle ages. Brace yourself for non-PC sex and violence, Carry on up the Codpiece humour, andSoldier of Orange may be the best film from Verhoeven’s early Dutch period, but The Fourth Man is the most fun.
Jeroen Krabbé plays a gay alcoholic writer who has visions of castration, oozing eyeballs and crucifixion as he embarks on an affair with a female hairdresser who may have murdered her first three husbands. Glorious tosh, deliberately stuffed with over-the-top symbolism to wind up the critics who had panned the director’s previous film.
