Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Mariniersbrug

Amsterdamned is a 1988 Dutch thriller slasher film directed and written by Dick Maas, and stars Huub Stapel, Monique van de Ven, and Serge-Henri Valcke. The plot revolves around a serial killer who uses canals of Amsterdam to murder random people, one of which involves a detective's girlfriend linked to the murders.

Production

Writer director Dick Maas got the idea for the film's killer after reading a news story about an Amsterdam prison escape that was conducted with the assistance of a frogman.

The speedboat chase scene and other stunts were handled by Dickey Beer. Legendary stuntman turned stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong worked on the film as a stuntman. The speedboat chase scene left Huub Stapel out of production for three weeks when the boat he rode in crashed on the set of the film. Parts of the speedboat chase were filmed in the Oudegracht of Utrecht.
