Amsterdamned (1988) Speed Boat Chase

[@AudieHolland]

Back in the day I didn't think much about this movie. But now I realize it's the best tourist commercial for Amsterdam canals (and a bit Utrecht).

[@StanislasP]

Better than any bond chase.

[@mikejones-qk2ou]

Best boat chase I've seen! "Puppet on a Chain" 1970 had a good one too!

[@RaymondvanGelderen]

Thanx brother

Wow beste Nederlandse film ooit! Hoezo heb ik deze nog nooit eerder gezien

[@steveearle6295]

Whaaaat?!?!?! Wow!!!! That was absolutely tremendous! I want to watch the whole movie now! Also brought back such amazing memories of the times I spent there in the early 90s!! Thank you!

I remember watching a documentary on the making of this movie on dutch TV in the 80s when this movie first came out

The part where the boats get onto the terrace was filmed in Utrecht, Oudegracht.

04:56 Huub Stapel almost died during recordings in Amsterdamned Tingling hands Due to the permanent injuries he suffered, he is still reminded of the accident every day. "This accident has remained out of the public eye to this day. But I still think about it regularly. A rib on the left protrudes a bit from my chest. But what is much more annoying is that I suffered a severe hernia at the time. Since then I have suffered from tingling hands. I have sleep fingers 24 hours a day, like I've been sitting on my hands for an hour. Very annoying.''

Ben in afrika en heb dit aan een paar lokale mensen laten zien. Ze waren onder de indruk van dit kunstwerk 😀

A few important items were missing: - Four nuns crossing - Chubby guy resting in a small rowboat with bulging eyes when he sees the speedboats approaching and he dives out - Two guys carrying a large pane of glass that is smashed through in slow motion by the bad guy's boat - The conductor of the brass band should have fallen into the water (looks like he was about to). Then the camera zooms in on him with a disgusted look while he spits out water. "Ppppbbbt" - Cafe pastries are smashed on the boat windshields and the bad guy's and good guy's faces and they wipe it away, then look at their hands for a moment and taste it

05:38 10 cameras were set up here for that one shot in front of the Barrel Organ where the police car went right through

[@edejong8181]

Beautifully filmed by 08:29 that transition from the Amsterdam water at Amsterdam Central Station to the sewer in the studio

[@JayKhwaja]

Brilliant 👏

[@edejong8181]

That explosion at Amsterdam Central Station was filmed early in the morning

[@neilmaguire1444]

What was the bullet ricocheting off when the bald guy was firing at water?

[@edejong8181]

Where is the exact location on the NDSM Werf where Eric first meets John where John takes the film from someone's camera ?

When we visited England (UK), I heard a kid shout 'shit!' And I thought: hey, English people also use it.

[@colinclarke4285]

​@AudieHolland I lived in the Netherlands in the 1980s and learned a fair degree of Dutch by watching TV...but lodging with a middle aged couple that spoke no English helped

Parts of this were not actually recorded in Utrecht and not Amsterdam, because only Utrecht has restaurants directly on the water. Oh, and Utrecht is a lovely city when it’s not infested with homicidal maniacs ;). Highly recommended.

[@riproar11]

Restaurants directly on the water with bug-eyed, screaming cafe patrons whenever speedboats crash through them. (◠‿◠)

And sometime this year, the Dom will be 'unveiled' again.
