He also won a Golden Globe award for his role in the 1987 TV film "Escape from Sobibor."

“Hobo with a shotgun” was a favorite of my kids, LOL.
From what I read, Hauer ab-ibed the lines.
He was one of my favorite actors. If he was in it, I wanted to see it.
Ladyhawke!!!
“Men? Police-men?”
I liked the movie Lady Hawk with him.
The Hitcher was awful to watch; couldn’t even finish watching it.
It was hard to believe he played such opposite roles in those two movies.
I love the way he said that.
One of my faves he starred in was “Wanted: Dead or Alive (1986)” He was after a Middle Eastern terrorist* played by Gene Simmons from KISS. Robert Guillaume was good as his former boss.
*Remember the days when movies could actually show them as real bad guys?
ROFL!!!
I love the way he said that.
He was in a film that I thought was interesting!
It was at the end of the 30 years war. He was a bad-ass leader of a mercenary band. (At the end of that war these out-of-work bands plagued Europe for years!) I can’t remember the name of it but I remember liking the film and thought he did a good job in it.
That was a good film too!
RIP.
Great actor.....beautiful & charismatic. RIP
Yeah he adlibbed it but that doesn’t mean right on the spot he could’ve thought the line up weeks before using it they still call it adlibbed. I just call it script adjustment.
One of Hollywood’s great line.
Flesh + Blood (aka The Rose and The Sword)...
Another good performance by one of my favorite actors...The list contracts every time one of them opens mouth, inserts foot...
I think you are talking about the mid 80s HBO staple “Flesh+Blood” (1985). He played opposite of Jennifer Jason Leigh 3 years after Fast Times when she was just hitting her stride of taking off her clothes in every movie.
