Nighthawks (1981) - Part 1

[boxajr]

why did he killed that cute girl ? :(

[deanernet]

Great soundtrack by Keith Emerson of ELP

[hugobear1]

Great film....never forget seeing it at the cinema at the time. Expecting nothing and being bowled over.

[foxybri1]

You tube no good watching on 3.2 samsung admire.

[karenpato1]

what did he say at 3:37 ?

[TheShirEl]

@karenpato1 Q: "what did he say at 3:37 ?" A: it sounds like either "David" or "Kill him," then "he busted my nose."

[ThePercyPigeon1]

C'mon He Man!

[FlyGuyFRA]

It still amazes me, that they filmed this at a real department store and showed the real name of it: Arding & Hobbs in Clapham Junction. It was later taken over by Allders and ever since Allders went into administration it is a Debenhams. The Arding & Hobbs signage however is still on the outside of the building. Still amazes me. I don't think any departmet store (chain) nowadays would want to be seen in a movie with one of its stores getting blown up!

billy dee billy dee billy dee

[Hacker73]

@rickard1177 Billy Dee Williams! In his best role. Another excellent actor lost in the 1980's cinema. Sad. We need more of him.

[siasti]

I'll never understand why they didn't ask The Bionic Woman to help them catch Wulfgar

[spicnspanish]

@siasti LMAO

[TheAlexWinchester8]

AWESOMEEEEEEE DUDE, THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHH <3

[TROUSERFLAP]

I saw this when I was eleven and Hauer's character scared the shit out of me.

[tall32guy]

The beauty of living in a big city, especially New York, at 3:00. LOL

[MultiBryo]

Nyc Movie

[mm091540]

So, Stallone dresses up as an old lady in hopes of finding guy who supposedly been robbing old ladies in that part of town... and he doesn't bring a gun, because...?

[Hacker73]

@mm091540 ... because Sly has a BRICK in his case. That's why when he hits the robber, the guy immediatelly fall on the pavement, crying in pain and bleeding from his mouth.

[jimmbo13]

1) Is that Hauer at the counter with the clerk. I guess contacts and fake beard will do it, but wow, hardly looks like him at all.

2) Is the clerk upset or offput by his flirting...why?

[mm091540]

@jimmbo13 1) i was wondering the same thing. anybody?

[apeiron73]

@jimmbo13 Yes, that is Hauer. The beard and brown contacts really do change his appearance. The irony is that after his plastic surgery in the movie, the "after" version of Wulfgar gives Hauer's true appearance - circa 1981. No doubt he's aged since then. I think the clerk was a little taken aback but was probably used to being told she was pretty. It must get boring after a while for a beauty like that being reminded of how pretty she is. The scene really reflects Wulgar's coldness.

[jimmbo13]

@apeiron73 Thanks. I actually somewhat liked his character better WITH the beard and british accent and all...maybe just me.

[raptor4048]

what a bad ass movie.

[DoraOviedoFracassi]

One of the best realizations of Keith Emerson, the modern Mozart

[Hacker73]

@DoraOviedoFracassi ...and I love the percusssion in the intro, it sounds a lot like a samba... and then a jazz. good old times...

[mjtgough]

Awesome Keith Emerson intro theme.

[TROUSERFLAP]

@mjtgough Agreed.

[boogiewu]

ive been looking for that movie since ages thx a lot !

[bertmustin]

I'd love to see a sequel with an islamic terrorist group. Stallone and Williams would both return. Stallone being a semi-retired anti-terrorist expert Deke DeSilva who is asked out of retirement by former partner turned Police Commissioner Matthew Fox. (Williams)Who asks him to lead a special task for in tracking down a terrorist with a dirty bomb.

[monsta64]

@bertmustin Awesome post! That would be a cool film. I wonder what with all of the Rocky and Rambo sequels, if Sly ever had an idea to make a sequel for NIGHTHAWKS...

[bertmustin]

@monsta64

I saw someone at the IMDB board for Nighthawks mention an interview with Stallone saying he was too old for a sequel but a remake could work.

[supercreamysperm]

@bertmustin If they make a sequel in 2011, it'd be 30 years since the original, making it quite possibly the longest period between an original and its sequel.

[Hayabusa449]

@supercreamysperm The Odd Couple 2 was made 30 years after the original, so it'd probably only be the second longest period.

[supercreamysperm]

@Hayabusa449 I didn't know that. Thanks for enlightening me.

[mastermold2009]

Love your description: "the most dangerous cop known to man". LOL!

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

Why Can't Seagal make a good movie like this one today?

[TheShirEl]

One of Stallone's best movies - thanks in no small measure to an excellent crew and an outstanding international supporting cast: Nigel Davenport, Lindsay Wagner, Rutger Hauer, Persis Khambatta and Billy Dee Williams.

[Hacker73]

@TheShirEl I agree, but with a correction: they're not "supporting cast". They're the MAIN cast. But it's OK.

[bjroberts65]

One of the BEST movies of ALLTIME!!!.....RIP ''JOE SPINELL''

[locksmithite]

"Busted Rye Rowff".

[bastatulant]

Sweet Theme Song!!!!

[CesMan83]

My favorite Non-"Rocky" and non-"Rambo" Stallone movie!

[CesMan83]

@CesMan83

After this, my 2nd favorite Stallone non-franchise flick is "The Expendables"!

[Hacker73]

@CesMan83 well, "The Expendables" is a franchise. Here comes "The Expendables 2"

[CesMan83]

@Hacker73

And "EX2" shall be an awesome franchise! Pity they never made a sequel to Nighthawks

[DesQueJteVois]

omg thank you thank you.

God damn, I miss 80's/90's movies. They just have something that movies today tend to lack...

[thefoppa1000]

theme kicks ass

[icefiredarksector748]

Nice man. Hope you tube doesn't can it.

[tyrese3745]

@icefiredarksector748 I hope not either. My suggestion: If you have RealPlayer, download the clips.

[80s90sRealBasketball]

yyyeeeeessss! LOL
