  • I will never pick up a hitchhiker after seeing this movie.

  • Rutger Hauer is the shit

  • The film and music industry is dead. Remake after terrible remake and a future echoing through all eternity.....of auto-tune. Then again I see they made a sequel and John Ryder comes back......as Hobo with a Shotgun!

  • @hollyvelocitygrl im agree! i miss the music form like 2006 or older years, it was better and the artist were actually talented, i like pop and artist like timberlake, madonna, timbaland and that kina of music and its sad how some people like the music of this days its just awful. now i have to say that the film industry still alive but the horror, slasher, suspense genre is dead, its sad that "scary" movies are sooo bad, i love the old horror films and i hope that movies get better soon

  • @jonnemesis11 Well I was thinking of legendary music like Led Zeppelin and circa 70's when I feel music was at it's peak. And vocals were so much more genuine (Karen Carpenter would be rolling in her grave at the thought of auto-tune). Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing your tastes or anyone's, but we all were raised in some small way with a soundtrack of our youth and I for one am proud that it was to legends than the thought of being asked by my kids if I rocked to Justin Beiber

  • I love the guy who plays in the outsiders he's really good and super hot

  • he shoulda listened to his momma

  • i only saw the remake and the second one, it SUCKS! i need to see this one

  • No reason to have remade this classic. Rutger Haur kicks the shit out of sean bean as the hitcher

  • really bad audio synce :/

  • Does anyone know the name of the song played at the start and the end of this trailer? I've looked everywhere and just can't find it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

  • 1986 version of this movie is better than 2007

  • Rutger Hauer is the king of weirdness in movies, 'The Hitcher' & 'The Nighthawks' are my favorites. That Sean Bean guy who plays the title role in the shitty remake is a decent actor, but as with many of horror movie remakes, the writers and director were the biggest problem.

  • Rutger is really scary!! I LOVE HIM!!!

  • i saw this movie on tv two times and i loved it. Then i watched it with my friend. We quickly downloaded it, but it turned out to be the remake and we were like: a well, we'll just watch the remake. But now my friend are totally sceptic about it and they don't like the movie

  • Just saw this movie for the first time yesterday. One thing I never heard them say in the film (or I didn't figure it out some reason) since they found out his name (Ryder), who was he and what was he doing the killing for? Did they say? Or maybe that's part of the mystery I guess. I really liked this movie btw.

  • @prizum81

    No, they don't say it.

  • @DrGregoryHouseIT He was a serial psycopathic killer who did it all for pleasure. He had a wierd respect for the driver in the original film which is why he toyed with him instead of killing him out right. Great Movie.

  • @prizum81 Yeah he was doing it coz he needed to be stopped

  • damn. i remember watching movie. while watching this movie, I was petrified, bited my nails, and was doing other stuffs...but I just was not able to stop watching it. hahahahhahahaha

  • is that rutger hauer>?

  • @victoriscool1

    Yes.

  • Rutger Hauer was one creepy villain in this movie. Scared the living daylights out of me back in 1986.

  • C. Thomas Howell was great in this! I love him!!! :P

  • @Tiathegoodgirl Well I mean amazing! *-*

  • I hate when the video's sound is off >:(

  • Oh my gosh! Thomas Howell!!!!!! I freaking lve him!

  • i prefer this one. this was amazing

  • the only deference in the remake to boy dies insted of the girl

  • c thomas howell all the wayyy

  • i was bought up on this movie, duel and some other films

  • I FUCKING <3 THIS MOVIE! But i do think that he should've listened to his mother... lol

  • ponyboy

  • I watched the new one recently, was really poor, I've never seen this one(the original.

  • NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE MUSIC PLAYING IN THE TRAILER

  • Hobo with a machinegun

  • way better than the remake

  • This movie is awesome. But both the seqel and the remake suck.

  • I love this movies soundtrack so freakin awesome.

  • Dislikes must like the shitbag remake.

  • This film is flawless in my view a true cult classic, i never understood why it isn't rated highly with the film critics

    Brilliant suspense thriller, one of the best

    By the way the remake is dog shit

  • The new  hitcher is good and Sean Bean an excellent actor but Rutger Hauer adds a supreme sense of evil and suspense to the old movie and plus he looks the part and is super cool.

    They don't call him the Dutch Paul Newman for nothing.

    Anyways I enjoyed both movies.

  • Never seen this movie before. Looks interesting. Can someone give me a brief synopsis? Oh, and I agree that original movies ALWAYS trumps remakes. Not sure how good the new Nightmare on Elm St. was though since it didn't have Robert Englund in it.

  • @YungReg88

    A young man is driving a car throughout the USA and decides to pick up a hitch-hiker, who happens to be a psychopath. He manages to escape him, but the hitch-hiker now is deeply obsessed with him and keeps tormenting him...

  • @DrGregoryHouseIT: Yea, I know I definitely need to see that. Lol.

  • @YungReg88

    untrue the remakes of the thing the fly and the blob are FAR FAR better than the originals

  • @YungReg88 I havent seen it either but i heard it was hell shit !

  • Thank you America for that piece of art ! ! ! There is one "Hitcher" in this world Hauer-Howell-Leigh without objection, and any slop remakes.

    Thanks from all russian movie fans.

  • Class film one of my favourites, simple movie, simple music, superb action love it!

  • just bought this on dvd today,havent watched it yet

  • I love the remake! Sean Bean and Sophia Bush were freakin amazing and don't forget that a remake is just a new version of a movie and not a copy so stop complaining about the new hitcher and the differences between the old and the new version. They did a great job and if you don't like it, don't watch it.

  • This movie is sooo good.

    C. Thomas Howell was only 18 years old at the time.

    To have not only the lead in a (relatively) big production, but to appear in almost every scene of it, meanwhile delivering a real and honest performance is by no means an easy task. It's impressive how he delivers.

    And of course Rutger Hauer's performance is one of the best in his career (that was/ is full of great performances.)

    It is Rutger in all his Rutgerness, if that makes sense....

  • Grande Rutger Hauer, desperdiciado muchas veces por el cine, su calidad interpretativa en las peliculas que a participado es innegable.

  • PONYBOY

  • I LOVE C. THOMAS HOWELL!!!! i never seen this movie but i need to:)

  • Hauer is like the effing terminator.

  • just watched the remake, its stupid as fuck!

  • Why no blu-ray release of this classic?! Or director's cut? WTF?? Region 2 release DVD is much better than the out-of-date, 10-year-old dvd release.

  • Lets hate on remakes of classic movies cuse its what the cool kids do :D All joking aside the original is way better but the remake is a great b-movie anyhow.

  • I loved the hitcher in the remake. he just fit the role so perfectly. But that's the only thing I loved about it.

  • I hav not seen the original i am about to and i do believe originals r better but i saw the remake i liked it....why is it that u on't i would like to know. im not questioning u i just curious.

  • @bamlvr01

    Too unbelievable in many situations, horrible sfx, the fact that it has a leading lady that is nothing more than a Mary Sue squeezed by the writer into the script of the original, ruining everything that the original had accomplished and reducing it to the 1000000th 'brave girl vs male psycho' film, the fact that the movie HAD to have a leading lady when the original was also, well, original also because it had a male lead, the fact that it is boring. Need more?

  • @DrGregoryHouseIT No I understand. I did watch the original and it was good. Definately diff from the remake. I see where ur coming from.

  • @DrGregoryHouseIT

    I totally agree, absolutly right in every way. There is a reaosn why old movies that were good should not be remade now, and one is the pointless and annoying change of male leads to lady leads, dumb teens eveywhre and a stupid amount of gore and lame special effects.

    The original was good how it was, and it should have been left in peice, like most films with re-makes.

  • the remake was so bad. i cannot begin to describe.

  • The remake was mazing! I loovvee Sophia Bush! and btw she isn't even close to being a cheerleader. JJust because she plays one on tv doesn't mean she is one. Watch an interview with her, she talks about cars and how she was a tomboy growing up

  • @kellytaylorjenegarth

    Sophia Bush is great, but the remake is honest-to-god Godawful. Come the freak ON. How can anyone say it is in any remote shape good is beyond me.

  • @DrGregoryHouseIT the remake was total mainstream bullshit! awful film! the original is great

  • @DrGregoryHouseIT the remake is good

  • @naeram

    Yeah, and Elvis is still alive.

  • @kellytaylorjenegarth

    who gives a fucking crap

    shes one of the sexiest women on the planet the can do cheerleader stuff all day

  • Sean Bean plays a badd ass hitcher. But come on Sophia Bush with a spaz 12 Gauge blowing his head out? Come on!!! A cheerleader could never pick up a shotgun.

  • Amazing movie! One of my favorite horror films. The remake sucked dick!

  • I like the remake, and the original :D The special effects in the remake are better, but the original was better with everything else. Although I did really like the car chase scene in the remake, that was really cool. But I think the original was better put together. Usually the original is way better, but I like both the original and remake for this one.

  • hey it's the last replicant from blade runner!

  • i used to have a huge crush on the younger guy :)

  • @iheartvnz haha ya its weird cause a year before this came out the dude was in secret admirer,a romantic comedy.then hes in a horror movie? weird.....

  • The Hitcher was really great Thriller. Rutger Hauer was great as villain. C. Thomas Howell did a brilliant job. Great movie but the remake was ok

  • the remake of this movie sucks so bad

  • holy shit that looks really good!!

  • Is there anywhere I can watch this online? It's near damn impossible to find on DVD.

  • Why not just dl it??

  • @razors78: Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but where would I go about downloading it without a bunch of weird viruses n' crap?

  • Google "the hitcher megavideo" and click on the second link that comes up. It has a link to watch it.

  • It works. Thanks for the information.

  • Sure thing! Enjoy.

  • were reading the outsiders in class and thats the guy who plays ponyboy!

  • just a classic film

  • i liked this version of 1986 better than the more recent one.

  • all the original films are better than the remakes.

  • Like Hell it was.

  • You`re right. The remake was total and utter garbage. Rutger Hauer was made for the part.

  • Great movie, Rutger Hauer is an awesome actor!

  • love this movie

  • man this true cult

  • Greatest film EVER made. Better than the remake, but didn't mind it. The soundtrack/music by Mark Isham in the 1986 original gives that extra kick to the movie.

    Has anyone seen, 'The Hitcher 2: I've Been Waiting'?? Any views?

  • "Greates film EVER made"

    Oh please.

  • What? If He/she thinks that this is the best movie that ever been made, let he/her think that than? -.-'' Stupid retard

  • I have seen this movie is a real clasic good one and yes the re- make are normaly bad intent to get our money.

  • I agree you cannot compare the re-make to this. A true cult classic.

  • I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!

  • the remake was AMAZING :)

    love Sophia Bush !

  • Sorry, but I only agree with the second part of your statement. The remake is AWFUL and offensive, I don't understand why did Sophia choose to accept the part.

  • I agree. The remake was a piece of garbage. Long live the original

  • Amen!!

  • Oh go fuck yourself! Rutger Hauer is 10 shades of awesome in this role, while Sean Bean comes off as just a ridiculous, Snidey Whiplash-y imitation. But if you want to continue having NO TASTE AT ALL, enjoy your Godawful remake and DON'T BOTHER COME HERE EVER AGAIN.

  • Advancing? Not really... since 99% of the movies are horrid (GI Joe, most of the remakes - TCM, Omen, HITCHER, Fog, HalloweeN...)

    Oh, and btw...

    The new James Bonds are amazing, but Sean Connery is THE Bond.

    And the original WOW IS better than the remake, absolutely. It's a movie from the '50s that still looks believable today (maybe not to nitwits like you) while the remake looked fake in the year it came out.

    Thank you for showing how stupid you are, though.

  • I'm 16 and this version was a lot better than the remake. I find that horror 80's synthesizer music in the background really helped. Not to mention Mr. Hauer really plays a good psychopath.

  • I like Sean Bean, but he just didn't suit the role in the remake.

    Nor was it a very good film. In fact, it's probably one of the worst 'horror' movies I've ever seen.

  • This is a favorite movie of mine. The other day, I drove past two teens with their thumbs out and it made me think of this movie. This movie had me think about hitchhikers.

  • I'm with you, screw the remake and to hell with the moronic "sequel." When is this movie gonna get the blu-ray treatment??!! Fans in the UK get a 2 disc DVD special edition and we yanks get stuck with a bare-bones release with only the trailer as a bonus. WTF???

  • i have seen both orig and remake... as i have observed remake movies are not that bad becoz of intense gore and action... but i prefer the orig hitcher...

  • Sometimes they're good (the Hills Have Eyes remake) and sometimes they FAIL spectacularly (Hitcher remake, Prom Night remake, Quarantine - REC remake).

    Yeah, I do too.

  • the new hitcher was amazing. so shhh

  • Oh come the fuck ON. It was SHIT.

  • Old? It's from 1986!

    First things first the hitcher remake came out in 2007, not 2008, second things, you're awfully stupid if you think old stuff sucks and new stuff rules by default. For every Hills Have Eyes there are a thousands Prom Nights, but if you like the Hitcher remake, I think you lack something called taste, and also grammar and sense; I can only make out half of your 'comment'. Third, just to make it sure you understand, GTFO and DIAF.

  • The Hitcher without Rutger Hauer is not worth watching. If there wasn't an original, then Michael Gay wouldn't have anything to remake in the first place.

  • Michael Gay? whoa u r the worst person i ever seen..

    M. Bay is very talented and he is known for his High Budget Movies! .

  • Very talented? What are you smoking? He is very UNtalented. And he is known for his high budget monstrosities. The ONLY one I heard being good was Transformers (the first one), which I don't think it's the case!

  • ...M.bay is only well known for making movies that don't make sense with excessive explosions.

  • "Your a smart kid...figure it out."

  • I thought the remake was okay (Sean Bean made it watchable) but it doesn't even touch the original!!! Amazing film, no sequel could ever be as good.

  • one of my favorite movies.

  • This one is so much better than the remake. I love this movie <3

  • Does any one know where i can download or watch this movies as it has been years since i saw it, plz

  • I haven't even seen this one, yet, and I know it'll be better. ^^ I thought the remake was shit. And don't argue with me about this. It's my opinion.

    Tommy. ;D He's awesome.

  • Why does everyone fight on youtube? everyone has there own opinions

  • I hope you remalke lovers will understadn that oringals are better,MOVIES MADE INTO REAMEK RIGHT NOW, SUCK. REMAKE IS INFERIOR TO THE ORINGAL.

  • you fail at life now gtfo and go do your day job at the corner.

  • no you fail at life, at least i stayed in school and was able to find a major that i was able to stick too(medicine) Aperrently you did not see that in the remake it is clearly unrealistic since in the scene where jim is tied between a trailer and truck Jim's torso sudddenly boucnes but does not fall dierectly down spilling his intestine, the remake is all wrong. I am not an illiterate fuck like you are, low life.

  • you expect me to be your firend. After all that. well. Ok. I will let you express yor opion. won't the remake. I only like one elemnt just one. SOhpia bush is hot. Jeifer jason leigh is only charismatic, whoch i thoguht made her hot. but sophia bush wins this one.

  • fuck you asshole and your newbie fuckin crappie remake.

  • lol you dont have to tell me not to see the remake for that reason...ALL remakes suck

  • There is only one John Ryder - Rutger Hauer. Hauer can menace the hell out of you with one look.

    Hollywood needs to quit with the remakes already. Certain films are products of their time and will never be recaptured or improved upon.

  • I've never seen the original, but I've seen the remake. Everybody thinks the remake is better, but just by seing this, I don't think so. The remake was better than what this one looks like.

  • ...what? I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Are you saying that the remake is better or the original is? Because if it's the first one; wrong, but thanks for playing. The second one, instead, is the right one.

  • I mean.......the remake is better. I don't care if you don't like that, but it's my opinion.

  • Really, you should've known better than to come brag the remake is better when it's CLEARLY not. Especially on this page where you've noticed how the remake is 'liked'. If you think the remake is better than the original, I have an acronym for you: GTFOOD.

  • so true, it is better to brag about the porignal than the crappy 2007, i hate new move remakes, version. This movie rocked to socks of even the sequal which was not so crappie as the remake.

  • remaaake is way better

  • Wow,  your taste is completely missing! GTFO!

  • this film is very great!!

  • The Hitcher is one of my favorite film. Did anybody see the sequel? Now that one sucked. I have never seen the remake.

  • A great movie!! But the remake was crap!! I don't know why nearly all remakes are so bad! It's as though they try to make them crap! strange.

  • lol.... once you've met the hitcher  you'll never pick up another

  • Uh... no. Not at all. Despite good actors (Sophia Bush, Neal McDonough, Sean Bean, Zachary Knighton), the movie sucks due to a godawful script that never manages to be even the least believable. Btw.. didn't you read the description? The remake sucks.

  • well everyone is entitled to their own opinion i like the remake better its my choice you can't change it i dont gotta do what you tell me.

  • I agree with you 4slayerfan4.

    The remake is better, IMO.

  • You have clearly no taste, as the remake sucks beyond belief. Please go away.

  • i totally agree that this version is miles better.

  • go fuck your self it is inferior to the orignal.

  • you go fuck yourself you bitch all i was doing was stating my opinion so fuck off you cunt.

  • yeah same to you you crab-infested cunt.

  • fuck you cunt face dick sucking, bastard,

  • all remakes suck you piece of shit fag

  • Amen to that! I hate remakes!!

  • this is why ppl should not pick up ppl to ride in their car.

  • GREEEEAT road movie, and one of the best made. If you like this then you would love Nature of the Beast with Eric Roberts as another psycophatic hitcher

  • everyone has own opinion...why did you nag at me ......?????

  • I like remake with Sophia (sun) She rocks !

  • Sun?

    And, I love Sophia, but the remake is HORRIBLE. I wanted to kill her character various times over. And the end? Can you say 'idiotic fanservice'?

  • what do u want? I said I like the remake more...
