Tom Roberts-FinnHOST
They're, like, cutting back to the Andorians just sort of doing something is, like, a kind of a pointless thing.
Tom Roberts-FinnHOST
And I, I said this in the video as well, the, the main Andorian, uh, looked like Rutger Hauer to me, which was all I was thinking about every time he was on screen.
Tom Roberts-FinnHOST
Um, so I was getting distracted.
Tom Roberts-FinnHOST
Um, but yeah, which is, it is a shame I think because it is such a strong episode to having something where you're just like, "Ugh." Um, me and Ellie actually, we might be the only people in the world, but we didn't consider him, we didn't think he was gonna be a bad admiral from the very beginning.
MikeHOST
I think he-
JustinHOST
I love Rutger Hauer
MikeHOST
...
MikeHOST
I-
JustinHOST
Like, he's like-
MikeHOST
Rutger Hauer, I think, should have had a better career than he did.
JustinHOST
Yeah.
MikeHOST
I, I don't know what happened.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
And then on the casting side, Kurt Russell was supposed to be Connor McCloud, but he pulled out to do Big Trouble in Little China.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
And Rutger Hauer was considered for Kurgan.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
Oh, that would have been great.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
That would have
Mark WoltersGUEST
It would have been more of the psychological.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
It would have been crazy.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
Yeah, Rutger Hauer is a great, crazy guy.
Olan Vander LeedenHOST
Yeah.
DanHOST
That's, that's the, the, the one that we're all most familiar with, and the Barlow figure being the way that we know Barlow to look.
DanHOST
But in the book, if I believe rightly, and in the Rob Lowe mini series, Barlow was played by Rutger Hauer.
SammieHOST
Okay.
DanHOST
And he was a man, and he's a man in the book, isn't he? He's not a Nosferatu character in the book.
SkyeHOST
And on tonight's episode, Kyle and I are going to be discussing for its 40th anniversary, a film that we've wanted to cover on Filming E9 for some time now, and one that, personally speaking, I have been busting to cover for years.
SkyeHOST
From 1986, starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, it's directed Robert Harmon's multi-genre straddling cult classic thriller, The Hitcher.

Kyle ReardonGUEST
It just feels so tangible and real and gritty.
Kyle ReardonGUEST
And you really feel you're in these situations with C. Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer.
Kyle ReardonGUEST
It's a very powerfully made film.
ZachHOST
I got one that keeps popping up for me.
ZachHOST
It's like Deadlocked with Rutger Hauer.
ZachHOST
Where he's like in like a future prison.
ZachHOST
But it's also like a jewel heist movie or something where he's like steal a jewel from this prison.
Guy DavisHOST
Absolutely not.
Guy DavisHOST
No, I mean, I think Anne Rice's dream casting for this was, uh, young Rutger Hauer.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Oh.
Guy DavisHOST
And you look-
Guy DavisHOST
It's, it is perfect.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Yeah.
Guy DavisHOST
I mean, you look at young Rutger Hauer, the movie he was making with Paul Verhoeven in, uh, in, in the Netherlands, like, you know, Soldier of Orange or Turkish Delight or whatever, he's, you know, just incredibly handsome, incredibly magnetic, incredibly still.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Mm.
MiguelHOST
What a wild movie, man.
MiguelHOST
It stars Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
MiguelHOST
And the movie, I mean, if you haven't seen it, I'll give you a brief synopsis of it.
MiguelHOST
This guy's driving.
MiguelHOST
It's so fucking crazy.
MiguelHOST
And C. Thomas Howell plays the guy, the kid, the young kid who picks up this hitchhiker.
MiguelHOST
And Rutger Hauer plays the psychotic Hitcher.
MiguelHOST
But, man, this movie is so wild.

CrystalHOST
And now he's voiced by Christopher Lloyd, who is
