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.

Because books.
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!

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?

Rutger Hauer sort of frightens me.
He was terrifying creepy in The Hitcher.
(And I still thought he was hot.)

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.
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.

It was Bruno Kirby who kept throwing me out of the movie. That's an actor that just doesn't belong in a medieval grunge movie.
