Rutger Hauer is a HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN

I... really hated this. got about halfway through and shut it off.

it's probably just me but this thing screamed TROMA and I've always hated troma movies.

Watching now.

YES

Welcome to Fuck Town.

Burn baby burn

That was something else. I've never seen anybody stab someone with her own ulna, so that was pretty cool.

Love this movie. Feel like I need to watch it again to wipe away the memory of Gentlemen Broncos. Ugh.

"Alright you fucking androids! My father's got something he wants you all to see.

And I swear, anybody looks away for even a second, I'll make them wish they were fucking aborted!"

One thing that annoyed me about this movie is we were teased a giant octopus fight and didn't get one.

Movies can't have everything dude.

Gotta watch this again soon, I love it. Did I mention it reminds me of Street Trash a bit?

Bad guy wearing ice skates is a dumb-brilliant idea IMO

This is way better than Troma shite because it's actually funny and commits to its premise.

Rutger Fucking Hauer, indeed. RIP to a real one.

still ride for NIGHTHAWKS, which is better than its mediocre rep. Stallone was cool in that too. though the ending kinda sucked. Great in Soldier of Orange and Blade Runner and The Hitcher and in that Kylie Minogue video.

he is certainly the best thing about Verhoeven's Turkish Delight and maybe Spetters too

RIP

You have to see him in Olmi's "Legend Of The Holy Drinker". He carries the film and it's fairly remarkable even when lapsing into some (gorgeously filmed) hokiness.

Hauer's death is bumming me out much more than I expected it would because he was a few years younger than my parents and now I can't stop wondering how much time I actually have left with my parents assuming we all go due to old age.

Yeah, same here. My dad's 78 -- his younger brother sadly already passed -- and my mom turns 75 later this year. The time will always be shorter than we want.

Can anyone recommend any specific interviews?

I'm surprised how few of people's favorites I've actually heard of. Eureka, Blood Of Heroes, Blind Fury, Nighthawks and Eureka are entirely new to me. Didn't realize just how many films he played lead role in.

Kept wondering if he had moved entirely into low budget b-movies and television but there was Batman Begins, Valerian and this bizarre upcoming sequel (also featuring Jackie Chan and Arnie) to the awful Viy remake. I'm sure a lot of people are kicking themselves for not casting him when he was still around.

I could swear a ton of Japanese comics, animation and videogame character designs were based on him. Bryan Fury from Tekken is the only one that springs to mind.

Blind Fury is pretty lame, aside from the blind swordsman thing this is a completely generic action film of the era.
