Good bye Rutger Hauer
« on: 24 July 2019, 07:05:30 PM »
You have gone like tears in the rain, but not forgotten!

RIP

of course known for Blade Runner which I love, but my faves are Split Second and Wanted Dead or Alive of him starring.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe are true. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

Nooo! I was just thinking yesterday about what a great actor he was and how needs to get more work these days. He probably won't now.

'Bladerunner' (of course) is probably is finest hour, but I also like a couple of sword & sorcery B movies of his, 'Flesh and Blood' and 'Ladyhawke'.

Yes, all good work, and he will be sadly missed

All three you mention are some of my favorite movies. I wouldn't call Ladyhawke a 'B' movie :)

It might be a C movie.

Not the greatest actor in the world but he was always entertaining to watch.
Sorry to hear he has past. I really liked him in Fatherland.

I think he was a better actor than he is given credit for, thanks to typecasting. I often thought he should have been the one rather than Schwarzenegger in a few roles.

Vale Roy.

May your cane always find its mark Nick Parker, and may Harley Stone always have an endless supply of chocolate and coffee wherever you are... RIP RH, you will be missed.

Oh no! I loved Ladyhawke as a kid. Strange movie thinking about it now but loved it then.

Damn, sad news. A genre icon gone, and not really that old either.   :'(

Loved Split Second, was that the movie that coined the phrase "bigger f*cking guns!"...? I think it might have been.

Ladyhawke was class, some excellent actors and a decent script hampered by very 80's styling.

Flesh and Blood was a great film, properly grubby side of medieval warfare.

Hell, I even have a soft spot for Blind Fury...

Watched Blade Runner yesterday evening - 2049 was added to Netflix recently, and I wanted to refresh the first before seeing the sequel. First thing I saw right after finishing the movie was the news of his death.

I'm reluctant to watch any other films now.

He supposedly improvised the tears in rain line by the way.
