This week we’re watching several films from the first half of Rutger Hauer’s career, starting with his first American movie Nighthawks (1981), next up is his chilling turn as the wandering vengeful spirit The Hitcher (1986), then we have a lot of fun watching brainless blind actioner Blind Fury (1989) and we finish on the creature-feature eco-horror mess that is Split Second (1992).
