DOLPH'S THOUGHTS:
We shot this picture in Toronto, Canada where I worked before on BlackJack. Jill Rips was directed by Tony Hickox who did Storm Catcher.

This was the first time I did a real thriller. It doesn't have as many action scenes as my films normally do. Its about a killer, sort of a Jack the Ripper type, but instead its a she, we find out in the picture killing men. It has to do with S&M clubs, and the whole underground world of S&M culture.

At one point I end up hanging upside down, being molested by this leather dressed woman with a whip! She is the killer, and of course its kind of tough for me to solve the mystery from that position! But somehow I managed to do it anyway. The whole film was a very unusual experience.

On this picture I also spent a lot of time rehearsing because lots of the scenes had more dialogue then the other films Ive done up to date. It was a good experience to really work on the performance. I discovered that you could get a lot out of a picture without carrying the biggest machine gun around, so to speak...
