Norbert Grupe/Wilhelm Von Homburg–despite a disastrous movie career here in the States–was better known for being a champion prize fighter back in Germany.

I've already showed you folks one of his final video interviews, but I thought you should check out the main man being interviewed back 20 years before he took up the mantle of being “the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia”

I just can't get over that exactly 20 years later, he'd be in one of the greatest sequels ever made….as the villain.

I'm moving this over to misc as it's a secondary link to Ghostbusters II.

Um, I wouldn't really consider Ghostbusters 2 one of the greatest sequels ever made. It was a good follow up, but not great.

I'll always be one who claims GB2 is one of the best sequels ever. Then again, about 99% of GB-related material will always get a seal of approval from me based on that :p

R.I.P. Wilhelm. He did great in GB2. He had such a sad turn of events in the later years of his life

Huh, I never thought of Lord Vigo as a swinger…

In that video, WvH bears an eerie resemblance to a very young Graham Chapman from Monty Python–around the first season or so.
