Het Beest

 * ... that in the 1982 film Het Beest, a "legendary flop", Dutch television showman Willem Ruis (pictured) plays a machine-gun toting former businessman?


 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Cheese soup.
 * Comment: "Like a Dutch Rambo" could find its way into an alternate hook. Give Belsen credit: they wrote the article on the Dutch wiki from which I borrowed facts and inspiration.

 * I have an issue about the "Cast" section. It seems like that section doesn't have any direct sources at all, but I can just assume that you need to add one source for the cast section. Also, attribution could be provided on the page to the Dutch Wikipedia, where you got the information from, but I don't think you need it. Also, in the "Reception" section, the word "slaughtered" is slang, so I suggest a more formal wording like "heavily criticized." Otherwise, everything is good to go.

 * Hey, no need to ping Belsen. I had intended this as a birthday surprise for them; I guess I should have mentioned that. OK, the cast, those sections usually don't have attribution anyway--see Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (sorry, that was the first one I could come up with) or Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (an FA). "Slaughtered"--well, I wouldn't call it slang, but I know what you mean, and I could not, for the life of me, come up with anything better (maybe can). Problem is that the original says, literally, "cut down with sabres". Any suggestions? :)
 * Oops, sorry about pinging Belsen, if you want to make it a surprise. for me. Anyway, I think "Slaughter" can be replaced with what the original source (not the Dutch wikipedia) said, in quotations, then a translation. Also, if the cast doesn't need sourcing in other such articles, it should be fine for this article. The phrasing of "slaughtered" is the only thing I find weird, but otherwise, everythings OK.

 * , I found something less poetic but more neutral. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:32, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
