WHY WE SHUD OF BIN INVITED TO RITE ALL OF JUREGNS SKRIPT'S

> Jürgen is heavy in the conspirator/murderer category...he's gettin' typecast.

I think if he played a drunken and philandering, yet sympathetic, aristocratic, torturing, murderering, thieving, conspriatorial Nazi military officer who sounds like a German but isn't - and gets soaked during the movie and is shot to death at the end of it - THAT would be typecasting.


Roles Jürgen Prochnow should have played...

after THE SEVENTH SIGN: Dracula
"I can't die again. I wish I could."

after JUDGE DREDD: Richard Nixon
"I'll accept your decision and resign."

After DUNE: Butch Cassidy
"I should have married you."

After IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS: The Wizard of Oz
"I used to think I was making all of this up."

After BEVERLY HILLS COP II: The prosecutor in MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
"Kill him. Burn him. Blow him away."

After A DRY WHITE SEASON: the psychiatrist in DRESSED TO KILL
"Don't ever open that door without knocking!"

After DAS BOOT: Bill in TWISTER
"DAMN this stinking weather!"

After HURRICANE SMITH: Rhett Butler
"Don't show your temper to me, you lying, doublecrossing bitch!"

After THE ENGLISH PATIENT: Norman Bates
"It's not much. Just milk and finger sandwiches."

After THE FOURTH WAR: the hillbilly in DELIVERANCE
"Clean that spot off my boot. With your tongue. Higher. Higher..."

[That last one caused quite an uproar. (Someone pointed out that it should have been "Clean that spot off das boot.") -ed.]


Roles that Jürgen Prochnow will (sadly) never be offered:

kindly old toymaker
drag queen
goofy, loveable father of ten
sidekick to Mickey Rooney
fun-loving, supportive next-door neighbor
impish wise man who speaks in rhyme
the lead in a film biography of Paul Williams


More roles you won't see Jürgen in:
The Peewee Herman Story
Charly
The Terminator (though he has the accent down pat)
Huggy Bear in the big-screen remake of Starsky and Hutch


Movies Jürgen should be in:

PSYCHO V: COME AND GET IT
Prochnow is gummed to death by Norman Bates. Louise Fletcher costars.

JAWS 6: THE SHARK HAS PRETTY TEETH, DEAR
Prochnow wrestles the shark onto the beach and then kills it by driving a car back and forth over it. Roy Scheider has a supporting role as the owner of a Sno-ball stand.

ROCKY 22: SLY IS GETTING $487,000,000,000,000 FOR THIS SEQUEL
The Italian Stallion goes up against a professional kickboxer (guess who). Prochnow ends up in orbit around Neptune.

ROBIN HOOD: YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH ROBIN HOOD
Last time, we saw "Robert Hode" turn into "Robin Hood" after being outlawed by a baron for insulting him. This time Prochnow gets the lead as Robert Holmes, a brilliant detective who is outlawed after catching a duke (Ray Walston) flagrante delicto with a scullery maid (Kate Winslet). Holmes changes his name to Hoover and terrorizes the countryside with a gang of surveillance experts. Fran Drescher costars as Maid Marian.


More sequels and remakes Jürgen should do

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Sigourney Weaver can be Schtella.

DIE HARD IV
He can be the German cousin of the German brother of the German guy Bruce Willis killed in the original DIE HARD.

OKLAHOMA!
The ultimate Judd, don't you think?

FIVE EASY PIECES
He can have Nicholson's role, and Helen Hunt can replace Karen... oh... I really have to go lie down for a minute...


A Jürgen Prochnow Christmas - Jürgen slaps Lucy silly after she taunts him at the "Psychiatrist Is In" booth

The Sound of Music - "Sing 'Eidelweiss' one more time and I'll run all of you over with the car!"

Villie Vonka: The Gobstoppers of Death


THE MUSIC MAN
Trouble with a capital T!

MY FAIR LADY
And who should play Liza but Uma Thurman? Jürgen flogs her until she learns some manners.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN
He can have Donald O'Connor's role and make 'em laugh.

THE WIZARD OF OZ
In this update, the tin man (Prochnow) is gypped by the wizard and is so upset about it that he axes Dorothy (Calista Flockhart) and runs off with the Wicked Witch of the West (Sigourney Weaver).

OLIVER! In the title role, thank you very much. "Please, sir...I want some more." Boy for sale.


More musicals

A GERMAN IN PARIS
BRIGABOOT
THE BUNDVAGON
SINGIN' IN THE REICH


Jürgen makes the move to daytime tv

GOOD MORNING PROCHNOW
A morning news & schmooze program whose primary purpose is to help viewers lose weight by skipping breakfast. Jürgen, co-host Brad Dourif and special guests provide the necessary incentive to push that plate away!

WHEEL OF TORTURE
Miss the puzzle, and your opponent gets to choose whether Jürgen racks you or gives you 50 lashes. Fun for the whole family.

SEASONS IN THE SUN
A soap opera in which you can see an entirely new cast every week, since Jürgen plays the chief surgeon at the local hospital.

PROCHNOW'S PLAYHOUSE
A children's show which teaches kids to be very, very, very good unless they want to spend their after-school hours locked in Daddy's old army trunk...or worse.

JÜRGEN!
An hour program which covers important social issues of the day. Jürgen interviews all the guests already seen that week on THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW, THE JENNY JONES SHOW, and RICKI LAKE. Then he runs over them with a car.


More Westerns:

Blitzkrieg at the UK Corral
Showdown at Deutsch Flats
My Fatherland - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
My Deutschland, Reich the Wrongs


[comments on KILL CRUISE]

> and I still don't understand that stoopid picture...unless they ran out of degrading things to do to jürgen, and they just needed an ending... grrrrr

Run out of degrading things to do to Jürgen? That's criminal.

The most obvious solution would be to have him drinking on the yacht the way he was drinking in the bar. That would give him an excuse to vomit on himself, wet his pants, get a little too cuddly with the dog in bed before waking up enough to realize who is french-kissing him, and do a riotous comedy scene in which he drunkenly attempts to give himself an insulin shot and sticks the needle in his ear and up his nose before forgetting what he was doing and trying to use it to darn his socks.

> I'd pay good money to see that!


KILL IRON WILLY... the heartwarming story of Jürgen, once again playing a Canadian trapper, who enters a dogsled race against the leading contender for the win, Leo Dicaprio. They get lost together in a blinding snowstorm, and, well... did someone mention the Donner Party?


Ooooh, a video game using Jürgen movies...well of course the first and easiest video game is one in which he runs over guys and slaps ho's... Each time he slaps a ho, he gets to do the hula and you get 20 pts. Slap a babe and it's -20. Run over Leo Dicaprio with a car and get 200 pts.


Here's a money-making idea for you-know-who.

A special edition box set, "The Bloody Interview Collection"
HURRICANE SMITH, A DRY WHITE SEASON, THE ENGLISH PATIENT, IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, INTERCEPTOR, ROBIN HOOD: THE MOVIE

And for the serious connoisseur, "The Water Collection" (to include getting splashed, rained on, and dunked)
DAS BOOT, THE SEVENTH SIGN, KILLING CARS, HURRICANE SMITH, THE FOURTH WAR, INTERCEPTOR, KILL CRUISE, THE COP AND THE GIRL, THE MAN INSIDE

For fans on a budget, a smaller collection: "Jürgen On A Boat"
DAS BOOT, HURRICANE SMITH, KILL CRUISE, PASSION AND VALOR, THE FIRE NEXT TIME

For real cheapskates: "Jürgen Stares At The Ocean"
THE SEVENTH SIGN, DUNE

For the truly pathetic: "Jürgen near a kid playing with a toy boat"
JEWELS
