- Around 1988, Bakker was set to play the lead in a Vampire comedy called "Blooper", opposite Christopher Lee and directed by Bakker's spouse 'Willeke van Ammelrooy', who had met Lee at a film festival in Chicago. She introduced him to Bakker and the two hit it off, since Lee is a renowned opera lover. Because of the similar look of the two men (tall, gray haired), Willeke thought it would be funny if Lee played Bakker's father in a picture. Vlemish writer/director 'Frank van Laecke' was approached to write a script and Van Ammelrooy did a re-write. It concerned an opera singer called Billy Blooper (to be played by Bakker) who learns his father (Lee) is a vampire who's teeth had gone rotten after eating too many sweets. Now whenever he bites anyone, instead of turning into a vampire, they became half human, half chicken. Lee tentatively agreed to appear, and Van Ammelrooy wanted to co-star and direct. The project never got of the ground despite interest from producers Alain Keytsman and Wim Verstappen.
