Blood of heroes was excellent. His role in the otherwise forgettable movie version of "Fatherland" was well-played.

Blood of heroes was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It’s a mashup of Mad Max and the Running Man and it’s amazing. As a kid with a facial scar, his line about scars made me happy.

So between Pete Postlewaite and Rutger Hauer any old character Christopher Nolan goes out of his way to cast in a bit part in his movies is not long for this earth.

...has anybody checked on Tom Berenger and William Fichtner recently? :ohdear:

Don't really remember much of blade runner since it's been about 10 years since I saw it last, IIRC he ad-libbed the "tears in the rain" scene in that movie.

From what I heard there was some conflict between Hauer and Scott over how much of that is ad-libbed. Either way I'd say Hauer gets the lions share of credit. Roy Batty was the real main character of Blade Runner after all.

How I heard it he was given the script for that scene shortly before shooting and given a lot of latitude to edit. He cut a lot out and changed some lines.

No no obviously a non-native English speaker appearing in one of his first English language movies outside of the Netherlands was totally able to improvise off of his head an amazing speech in a single take that is better than anything the professional screenwriters responsible for the entire rest of his dialogue and the entirety of the film surrounding it could write because film nerds are very intelligent people.

I loved Ladyhawke. Hauer's line about his father's sword never knowing defeat until Broderick used it to chop firewood is pure beauty.

He would have made a fantastic Geralt of Rivia.

Nooo. He was an A-actor who elevated a lot of B-movies. I went out of my way to see everything he was in during the 80's and 90's.

The guy was always the scary villain (and rightfully so) but he had a nice smile the few times we'd gotten to see it. Did he have any more lighthearted roles (aside from Buffy the Vampire Slayer where he was STILL the scary villain)?

He only played villains in his American movies. In Soldier of Orange he plays a cool and good dude lightheartedly fighting nazis. :geert:

Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner has Hauer, Scott, and screenwriter David Peoples agree on the basic story that Hauer is the one who changed the speech.

Hauer said he mostly just cut lines and that the tears in rain line was the only one he added.

this is an awesome documentary, and I highly recommend people pick up the DVD set, for no other reason than this. in the documentary, they actually have footage of him going through one or two alternate takes. What we ended up with, was a lot better than those.

he significantly edited the original monologue for dramatic effect without notifying Scott, nor the screenwriter and added the iconic "tears in the rain" line

The single best line in Parks and Rec was ad-libbed by Chris Pine and the writers admitted on-stage later that they wish they had written it.

MLK ad-libbed the most famous part of the "I have a dream" speech. Also both "You can't handle the truth" and "Here's Johnny" were ad-libbed.

Lol it wasn't even that. It was some sort of mediaeval setting and Hauer's character was a part of some sort of vagabond band and raped some women and it had a lot of dicks and tits and bums. I can't remember much else because I was very drunk when it was on TV.

^^^^ yeah that was it!

I just remembered seeing a German movie about two terminal patients who escaped from the hospital and got into wacky hi-jinks and at some point the mafia was after them and they're in an impossible situation, about to die (big deal?) but then loving Rutger Hauer comes in like a deus via ianua and just tells the other criminals to cut it out and that's it.

Also had Muriel Baumeister in a bit part which I remember because everyone had a crush on her as Einsatz Hamburg Süd was airing here at the time.
