Great film and great opening scene! Love that scene where Jim yells "What Do You Want?!" and when Ryder starts laughing, Jim is like "haha, i kinda overreacted there..." Great acting from both of them.
If you noticed he never really tries to kill jim halsey he just fucks with him lol not sure why maybe he wanted to see if he could turn a normal person into a psyco or maybe just for shits and giggles.
This is where the remake messed up because they made john ryder seem like he was just out to kill everyone where that was just not the case in the first movie.
@skilo1983 He was gonna kill him at first, until he shoved him out of the car when he was a second away from getting that knife jammed in his eye, I think The Hitch Hiker realized he was "THE ONE" that could kill him and put him out of his misery which nobody els could seem to do. It was the Ultimate Good vs Evil. he says it in the car ride...08:00 The kid "What do you want" "The Hitch Hiker " I want you to stop me" The whole movie is based on him stopping The Hitch Hiker.
@DangerousDan2 Maybe so but after he realized he is the ONE then he pretty much stops trying to kill jim, he just fucks with him after that, because he had numerous chances to kill jim but didnt.
I think in a way he was trying to turn jim into a psyco to.
i saw this when it first came out.. i was 5 years old i never watched it again until now but i always remembered that scene... it scared the shit out of me back then.
One of my favourite scenes in the movie(the other is poor Jennifer Jason Leigh tied between a truck and trailer,which is now seen as a classic )This should be an advert for those foolish enough to pick up a hitchhiker
Rutger Hauer is the best psycho of all time with his performance in this. It's creepy, yet collected without being wacky and over the top like Ledger's Joker.
hey why the hell was the hicther grabbing jim's dick in that scene when he bulider was asking for his liecence?? I dont get that bit does , anyone know...
Ryder isn't "grabbing" him. He is holding the switchblade between his legs to keep him from saying anything. It just looks like he's grabbing him to the road worker. Watch the scene again!
@peaceandmetal88 - Big up to you bud. Rutger was a cool badguy in this. The ultimate mysterious evil villain. But also C Thomas and Jennifer Jason were equally good in this film too.
Why the hell was this film a commercial failure in 1986? It's amazingly good.
Fucking brilliant film, i hate the remake because of the music, i love nine inch nails, but in the remake its just irrelavant having them play in the car chase scene...anyway love this version! rutger
one of the scariest movies at all the time
