-- Richard Kuklinski: The Iceman

Richard Kuklinski: The Iceman

I was just revisiting this incredibly unsettling series of interviews conducted with Kulkinski back in 2001, and decided to post it here for any interested parties who may be unfamiliar with it.

For anyone who doesn't know, Kulkinski was a mafia contract killer who purportedly murdered over 200 people, and was characterized by his remorseless, sadistic brutality (though, incidentally, this is unrelated to his nickname "The Iceman").

Some of the more disconcerting selections from his history:

quote:

He also killed with crossbows, with bats, with clubs, and with plastic bags. He beat people to death with his fists and feet, threw people off buildings, and drowned people. Any way that there was to kill somebody he did it. Brutality and torture would often precede death for many of his victims. This included his own description of causing his victims to bleed, then tying them up in rat infested areas. The rats, attracted to the smell of blood would eventually eat the men alive. Kuklinski saw himself as something of a rat specialist and set up a video camera to capture the rats at work. He also specialised in dismembering his victims alive, using a chainsaw. He described this method as 'messy'. His capacity for violence and torture was absolutely mind-numbing. He killed 13 of his victims after he destroyed their lower spines with a screwdriver. They'd be paralyzed-unable to scream or move-and they had to watch as he cut their bodies apart. When asked why he killed that way Kuklinski said he did it for the exercise. One man he was hired to kill had raped a Mobster's daughter. He tied the man to a tree, stripped him of his clothes, and then pulled off the guy's genitals-literally pulled them off. Then [using a knife] he began slowly slicing off pieces of flesh-just like strips of meat. While the man was still alive Richard poured a box of kosher salt over all his wounds.

Though he may have been officially under contract, it's fairly apparent that killing was consistent with the pursuit of his passions.

Here's the first part of the 2001 interview (there was an initial series conducted ten years prior):

Fuck

Also..."Actor Mickey Rourke will play Kuklinski in a film based on Philip Carlo's book. The film, to be co-produced by Rourke, is scheduled to be shot in 2010."

Wow... I forgot about this guy. I remember watching these interviews when he first got recognized back in the day. I can't believe nobody has made a movie about him yet. That is some pretty sick described in that post.

If he can successfully pull it off (as I imagine he can), it may very well be the most unnerving performance of this sort since Hopkins played Hannibal Lecter; the source material certainly lends itself to it.

I remember reading just recently that the film has run into some pre-production difficulties.

By the way, I feel it necessary to mention, in case anyone didn't already know, that Kuklinski died in prison in 2006 (under, what some would consider, suspicious circumstances).

I'm scared of this dude, and he's already dead.

He's made claims as to have been involved in that murder:

quote:

In April of 2006, news reports surfaced that Kuklinski had confessed to author Philip Carlo that he was part of a group of five men who kidnapped and murdered famed union boss Jimmy Hoffa. However, during the HBO interview he disclaimed all knowledge of Hoffa's fate, claiming that he'd only heard rumors, specifically, that Hoffa had been killed, placed into a car which was junked and shipped overseas. Yet, in The Ice Man he says he stabbed him in the back of the head with a knife, put him in a barrel and buried him in a junkyard. he also says that they later had to retrieve the barrel, put it in a car which was junked and shipped overseas.

There's generally a decent degree of legitimate skepticism regarding a number of his claims, such as whether his claims of having fed live victims to packs of ravenous rats in remote caves were even possible, let alone likely. There's no issue that he was an utterly remorseless killer, though the extent to which he was remains debated.

ya i watched the interview, where he goes to some extensive detail in what vehicle he was killed in, and shipped over seas. i'm sure there are things he's done that he took to the grave

Well, he's certainly gained enough weight in order to play the role, if Mickey Rourke can't:



Or maybe just play the role of Mickey Rourke, should they make a biopic on him.

Don't be absurd. He's not fat just a little pregnant.
