What are his best good guy roles?


And which do you think he is/was better at?

reply

Can’t fully reply to your question, but to me his best good guy roles are Navarre in Ladyhawke, Eric in Soldier of Orange, and Pieter Brueghel in The Mill and the Cross.

I haven’t seen enough of his bad guy roles to have formed an opinion.

Ladyhawke, Blade Runner, and Flesh+Blood. This last movie is relatively unknown, but it's a bloody masterpiece.

reply

Ladyhawke easily the best.
Flesh & Blood was more of an anti-hero role but he was also great in it.

reply

Ladyhawke was one of my favorite movies, but it hasn't aged that well. It still beats modern fantasy movies easily, though (you take away CGI and Photoshop in modern movies, we would be surprised how crappy they really are).

Blind Fury. Love that film.

He can do both bad and good very well.

reply

Check Zatoichi, from Takeshi Kitano.

I'm so sad. Loved Rutger.

I was going to suggest this.just watched it a few months ago.

I bought it on Blu-Ray last month and still could quote some of the lines.

I love it when the bad guys get stuck in the lift and shout out:

Sh**.
Fu**.
Sh** Fu**!!!

From the October 1993 issue of Playboy...

Interviewer: Who would you stop on the street just to meet?

Wesley Snipes: Rutger Hauer. I dig him so much. He's so intense. He always has that look that's a cross between a nice guy and a maniac.
