If I didn't know better, I would have sworn that both Anthony Hopkins and Javier Bardem emulated Rutger Hauer's performance in the Hitcher for their roles as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of The Lambs and Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men respectively.

[@ugrinvuckovic1770]

firstpower100 yes, I believe they matched his performance, however, I don't think they surpassed it. All three roles feel so real and committed to. Anthony Hopkins and Rutger Hauer r actually my favourite actors lol

[@NeoSe7ens]

A very good atmospheric film.

[@karstenvonfjellheim5321]

Make sure you are watching the Uncut or Director's Cut of 'The Hitcher'(1986)-it's edited quite heavily around the world. Watch The Hitcher(1986) back-to-back with Wolf Creek.

Yeah I was a huge Rutger Hauer fan since Blade Runner and this is one of my favorites of his other works. This is the movie that made me fall in love with Jennifer Jason Leigh, unlike most people who discovered her in Fast Times. By the way, avoid the remake, as it's not anywhere near as good.

Check her out in the Men's club came out the same year as the Hitcher.

Rutger Hauer is the fucking man!!!

[@qqrk1372]

Rutger Hauer should have been cast as MAGNETO in the X-men films. How did they miss that one???

[@mjag2834]

What happened to the sequel to "The Hitcher" a film called "The Kid" starring C. Thomas Howell as the killer? If I remeber it was either unmade or it was labelled as a video nasty because of the extreme content.

[@desertrose1226]

Wow never knew about that...possible Mandela effect lol...

[@koolinthegang77]

Hell yeah..... now this is a bad ass horror film,,,, To bad the DVD sucks, HBO needs to release it on Bluray....

[@desertrose1226]

Rutger Hauer was the hottest man alive on this film, back then. Yummy! Scary AF though!

[@qqrk1372]

Tell me about it! LOL No way Fassbinder grows up to be Ian. (Not to say McKellen isn't a terrific actor, of course.)
