Hobo with a shotgun?

Crazy-sauceI like Rutger Hauer.  He's always been my Dennis Hopper, if that makes any sense.  A great actor that never really gets his due, and is more than likely a bit off kilter when compared to mainstream actors.

The first movie that I really remember him in is Blind Fury - where he plays A BLIND SWORDSMAN.  Which I cant even really put into words about what is wrong, and yet so right about that.  I know, I know, he was Roy in Blade Runner. Ooooooo.....  But you know what? I've never seen that movie. Fuck you sci-fi fanboys. I tried watching it once and it nearly put me to sleep.

There I've said it.  

Weak-sauceAnyway, Rutger Hauer is a bad ass.  He's played a lot of different parts over the years, but as I skim through my mental Rolodex of his work I find I can sum up all his movies pretty concisely;

You just fucked with the wrong...

...replicant.

...blind swordsman.

...ladyhawk.

...omega doom.

Which is all good in my book.  We don't see a lot of that these days.  At least not from people that can actually, you know, act. I like my crazy sauce with a side of brilliance, thank you.

They are the type of movies I thought I wasn't ever going to see again until I was sent a link just a few days ago. 

That insane brilliance now proudly bring us; you just fucked with the wrong Hobo with a Shotgun!

Boom.

Although, now that I think about it, all hobos with shotguns qualify as the ones you don't want to fuck with.
