Just heard about it on the radio. It’s a shame. I really enjoyed his work.

I really enjoyed watching him.
Even the shitty roles in b-movies.

He put the Netherlands on the Holyweird big screen, along with Paul Verhoeven and another actor I just never learned his name.

I still wear the BR tee with him holding the white dove.

RIP Rutger.

I didn't realize his body of work was as vast as it was. Most people remember him as Roy Batty in Blade Runner.

But my favorite role, and a movie I watch every time it comes on cable, was as Nick Parker in "Blind Fury."

Second to that was as the bewtiched knight Navarre in Ladyhawke (along with Matthew Broderick and Michelle Pfeiffer).




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I first saw Rutger in LadyHawke (worst movie soundtrack) and I just loved it. Later, of course Bladerunner, and then Wanted: Dead or Alive.
I know Ladyhawke came after Bladerunner but That is the order I saw them in.

RIP Rutger.

I remember him from Wanted Dead or Alive where he plays the great grand son of Josh Randall the bounty hunter played by Steve McQueen and in Blind Fury. R.I.P.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those... moments will be lost... in time... like... tears... in rain.
Time... to die."

Rutger Hauer took a basically one dimensional character, made him into a sympathetic character, with lines that still echo today.
