The Dutch-born Rutger Hauer is a firm favourite with genre fans, and is somewhat of a grandfatherly figure to fantasy film these days, having lent his dark and brooding persona to a number of memorable roles, most notably the replicant with a humanistic side, Roy Batty, in Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi, Blade Runner.

Bear in mind this is a red band clip therefore you probably don’t want to watch it if you’re squeamish! I got to see the movie at SXSW and it’s completely messed up but in a very good way. The movie uses insane violence but in a very comedic way keeping the audience entertained throughout. [...]
