NIGHTHAWKS (1981). A group of friends and I were going to see ALLIGATOR at the theater in 1981 and this had moved in its place. Pretty good actioner and Rutgar Hauer is scary as the amoral terrorist. Watched it again last night and it sort of hits a little too close to home these days with attacks in London and NYC.
Lots of genre turns by many of the actors here...Sylvester Stallone (DEATH RACE 2000), Billy Dee Williams (EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RETURN OF THE JEDI), Lindsay Wagner (THE BIONIC WOMAN), Nigel Davenport (PHASE FOUR, NO BLADE OF GRASS, DRACULA-Jack Palance version), Joe Spinnel (MANIAC), Rutgar Hauer (THE HITCHER, BLADE RUNNER, LADYHAWKE), Catherine Mary Stewart (NIGHT OF THE COMET, THE LAST STARFIGHTER-believe this is her first film and she is beautiful) and Jamie Gillis (NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES and many porno films from the mid 70's-turn of the century where he seemed to always play the most degenerate of types). ***1/2
