Which makes Clarence Boddicker the American Antichrist.
“Which makes Clarence Boddicker the American Antichrist.”
Paul Verhoeven is one sick puppy. His movies are filled with gratuitous, misanthropic gore. He ruined “Total Recall” by taking a funny, imaginative sci-fi movie and turning it into a grotesque splatter-fest.
That said, I still have to give him props for having the imagination to cast Kurtwood Smith as the villain, Clarence Boddicker. Skinny? Balding? Bespectacled? Truly the opposite of what one would expect of a savage movie gangster. Smith had the acting chops to make Clarence truly scary.
