Hell, I watched ... Flesh and Bone, I think it was called, with Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh, about a dozen times. It was really awful, but I LOVE him.

I know Ladyhawke is fantasy, rather than scifi, but hey...Rawrtgur. And I don't usually go for blond guys.
I even loved him in Prophesy III.
And, A Breed Apart, which I recall as being otherwise dreadful.

Oh, Ladyhawke is fabulous. As is he in it. All tortured and broody. ::shivers happily::

And lest we forget ... Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Made the same year as he did Split Second, as I just noticed.
So really, we have Rutger to thank for us all being here!

Always Anti-fascist!
Rutger Hauer sort of frightens me. Is that part of the appeal or did I see something when I was too young to watch it?

He was terrifying creepy in The Hitcher.
(And I still thought he was hot.)

Flesh and Blood. Verhoven's first English-language movie (and also the film that severed his and Hauer's working relationship).

Flesh+Blood had weird casting. I couldn't get into it because of Tom Burlinson and Jack Thompson

Flesh and Blood creeps me out. I tell myself that the girl is playing up to Rutger's character to survive the situation, but there's too much of "I've fallen in love with my rapist" thing.
