I really like his old stuff. The Hitcher and Blade Runner are classics.

Saw him at a comic con 2 years ago. He was riding his bike through con floor to and from his signing station. Lol

Yeah Rutger Hauer was an actor that I liked. Not many movies I saw him in that I didn't like. "Surviving The Game" was another I liked he was in.

 

[CouchCoach]

Liked him in "Nighthawks" and "Split Second".

 

[Boom]

Nighthawks and The Hitcher scared young me to death.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Great actor, Bladerunner was a classic, so many good movies. I really liked Ladyhawke too

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

So sad to see this, liked pretty much anything he was in RIP.

 

[CouchCoach]

I saw interviews with him and liked him even more, a real gentleman and didn't seem the slightest bit affected by his fame.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Anyone seen Escape from Sobibor

"The Hitcher" one of the scariest movies ever that doesn't get a lot of attention.

 

[kapolani]

Navarre!

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

He was very recently in a little known British comedy series called "Porter's". He was the main reason it was good. Ironically, his death may give it more attention now.

I liked this one too, kinda flew under the radar, Matthew Broderick played a good character as well

It was a small movie that was not well made but Hauer played the main role in a film called Blind Fury. His character was a Vietnam War soldier, who was blinded in a battle while his best buddy (who was a chemist) deserted him in the midst of the fight. He was found alive and nursed back to health by a martial arts master, who trained him in sword fighting. Hauer returned to the states wanting to tell his buddy simply that he forgave him but ended up saving both his friend and friend's young son from a drug dealer wanting to create a synthetic drug.

Hauer positively shines in the role. BF may even be seen by some as a B-movie but he did a great job nonetheless.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hauer.

Anyone seen Escape from Sobibor

Was Alan Arkin in it?(he was most memorable to me, in that " Catch-22" flick)

I know my all time Rutger favorite flick( can't recall it's title) was set in medieval days, in where He'd "Stormed the Castle" with his posse of miscreants & Klingon camp tramps and they in turn were laid siege upon ,with plague infected flesh being catapulted into their fortress's A.O.

Yes

Then yes,I've seen it, but can't recall a whole lot,I think Arkin was a Jewish tailor making "on escape" clothes or travel I.D's,,,I don't remember all that much of it.

 

[quickccc]

Night Hawks, Blade Runner and Blind Fury (which was one of his very rare non-villain roles) .... He will be missed. RIP

I actually think its a TV movie.

"Hobo With A Shotgun" was one of those bad B movies that was over the top, but was great because of Rutger Hauer. One of those B movies that became a cult favorite.
