Damn, another legend gone.

Loved him in all his iconic roles, and even loved him on Channel Zero: Butcher's Block.

Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) Dies at 75
- Thread starter Laserdisk
- Start date
He did a great job to be fair (if you can get Nimoy version out of your head) I guess all he was told the character was just an evil old wizard.
Whoa, legend. For an underrated and pretty much unseen movie with him that y'all should watch, check out Blood of Heroes aka Salute of the Juggers, it's about a combat sport in the lo-tech post-apocalyptic future...great little flick.
RIP.
This is him in a great scene from Soldaat van Oranje, a movie by Paul Verhoeven that doesn't seem to get much play outside the Netherlands that was more or less his breakout role here. (If you do watch, which I recommend, don't watch the dub)
(The context is him being undercover at a Nazi collaborator party, and running into a student friend that went to fight for the Nazis.)

Aww dammit, just heard this on the radio while driving home. Hauer was one of our Dutch great actors and he will be missed greatly.
Rust in vrede Rutger.

I'll always remember him from Blade Runner and of course, my guilty pleasure movie, Split Second.
There's something about those 80s / early 90's mid-budget, borderline b-movie, sci-fi action films, that is so amazing. You don't really get them any more. Even the font used on the poster screams what era the film is from.
His most famous scene is so apt. He was a great actor, I should really dig out some of his early non-hollywood stuff, I am led to believe that is some of his best work.Fuck me.
A true legend.
Roy Batty is one of my favorite villains, period. Rutger was a brilliant actor with a gargantuan presence. Godspeed, sir!
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. "
RIP
RIP
Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Blind Fury, Sin City, Observer, Wanted Dead or Alive, Batman Begins; seen him in countless things over the years. He was the best thing about Blade Runner, a tour de force performance. Great and influential character actor. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. RIP.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Split Second, very much a favourite of mine. It got a blu ray release in the UK and Germany, not sure about other places.
I was expecting a movie from the eighties.. but it came out in 2004? I feel old.
Edit: Oh, that was a remake! Google sucks.
That's it!!!! wonderful movie, will try to look for any AMER releases if not then to import it. Thanks.
