- DirectorJason EisenerStarsRutger HauerPasha EbrahimiRobb WellsA homeless vigilante blows away crooked cops, pedophile Santas, and other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shotgun.A movie which was originally just a joke-trailer, suddenly turned into one of the greatest, most gory, action-filled exploitation-tributes of all-time, and Hauer is a big reason for that! Nobody could play such a role with such bravour as him! Kudos!
- DirectorRobert HarmonStarsRutger HauerC. Thomas HowellJennifer Jason LeighA young man who escapes the clutches of a murderous hitchhiker is subsequently stalked by the hitcher and framed for his crimes.If people weren't afraid of hitchhiking before this movie, they sure were after watching it, as Hauer plays an mysterious serial-killer, who picks random victims from the highway just for fun. High bodycount and lots of tension all the way through - This is one mean hiker!
