I was nearly added as an extra on this film but I passed when asked. Instead my friends, who made the cut, had to spend 2-3 days walking in and out of doors to a cable-car/tram at the Kapall in St Anton to be part of the film. It was really boring according to them, but they managed to rub shoulders with Mr Wahl and the famous Mr Kinski.
We all worked as tour-guides for a Swedish travel agency that winter and we had been asked when visiting the Krazy Kangaroh*, also included in the film, if we wanted to be part of the film as extras. As a matter of fact I said no to be a part of the film and but my friends, who accepted, had to stand inside being filmed and missed the chance to ski in glorious sun and skiing conditions. We had 6-8 feet's of snow that winter and lot's of powder.
Anyway, I ended up seeing the film later that year when I happened to stumble upon the film at a small cinema in Paris, France. It was of course dubbed to french with no subtitles but I really enjoyed the film scenes from St Anton and the stone-faced Mr Kinski. But I really couldn't make out what the film was about...!
*/ There is a scene in the film when the hero is doing a 360 over a ski jump and shooting bad guys at the same time. He then lands on restaurant tables and that scene is from KK. KK's owner, Gunnar Munthe, is standing in the audience watching in amazement.
