Many, many
years ago we devoted an
issue of ER to the one, the only Klaus
Kinski. If you really want to know why,
you can read the original
editorial. This section reprints that
entire issue, as well as a posthumous
appreciation, an extended conversation
with Barry Hickey
(an actor who co-starred with Klaus in
REVENGE
OF THE STOLEN STARS), and our ever-growing
collection of Kinski reviews including
a look at 1971's oddball spaghetti western BLACK KILLER starring Kinski as a mysterious lawyer whose law tomes pack more than court cases.
Check this
page on a regular basis as we are always
adding new reviews, links and more to
the man who deftly juggled serious
art-house flicks and delirious B-movie drive-in
fodder.

If you're looking
for the Kinski Message Board, we regretfully
took it down because it was becoming more
of a headache than it was worth. My sincerest
apologies to Klaus, who I'm sure is looking
down on me with contempt and disgust. If
you'd like to talk about Klaus with other
trash film fans, check out the ER Yahoo
Group or visit The Kinski Files, the only (as far as I know) Klaus Kinski blog on the Internet.
