Good bye Rutger Hauer

[Deflatermouse]

He inspired a whole new sport even.
Thank you Rutger. Safe Journey.

Sad loss,

but he left us lots of memories, inspiration and things to watch and enjoy, so good on him.

That and by all accounts a nice person to.

Time to break out the Lady Hawke CD and enjoy some classic swordfights.

I may be able to count the films of his I like on one hand, but it's sad news indeed. I think those Guinness ads in the 1980s may be the reason I drink the black stuff!

Like is biggest role, which passed in Bladerunner in 2019, he passed and left a big Vakuum. One of the best actors...

[Sir_Theo]

I was so sad when I heard this. Always an interesting NG actor even when he was in ropey films.

Obviously he is tremendous in Blade runner. And I loved The Hitcher when I was younger.

My absolute favorite of his films is Soldier of Orange, which is tremendous. Also I have. A lot of time for Flesh and Blood and Ladyhawke.

[Metternich]

Soldier of Orange is a brilliant film, as was his work in Blade Runner.  I quite enjoyed both Ladyhawke (which was almost ruined by the music - yet has some hauntingly beautiful images) and Flesh & Blood.  His work in Sobibor was also quite good.  I always felt he could have had a better career, if casting directors would have given him more scope.

By the way, Last Sword Miniatures are about to release a tribute mini of Rutger based on Navarre from "Lady Hawke".

I hadn't heard of that company, thanks for the heads-up.

Sad news right enough, another one gone. Was thinking about a good film he was in but couldn't remember what was called, haven't seen it in ages, he played a mercenary in 16th century Europe setting?
