The John Striker website is a promotional idea from the makers of Dirk's current film "Goldene Zeiten" ( a German production ) which is currently playing in theaters in Deutschland.
In the film, Dirk plays an 80's TV star named Douglas Burnett who had a show called "Striker".
It's fictitious. But fun :)
Hope that clears it up a bit. :)

aahhhhhhh. thank you.

i was hoping someone would clear that up for me tonight as its been REALLY bugging me.

an excellent idea, brilliantly executed....

.... btw, this new film is it a "niche" thing, or will it be on general release... for instance in the UK ?

I think it will be available on DVD at some point.
Hopefully with English subtitles or dubbed as 80% of the dialogue is German.

Don't worry, "John Striker" confused me, especially when I saw all of the "footage" and it's from the A Team!

I went to the Golden Zeiten (opps haven't spelt that right :oops: ) website, and I am a bit disappointed it's in German completely! My German isn't very good :oops: I'm afraid!

Does anyone know if the film is in German language completely? And will it get release over in the UK?
