One thought on “50 FURIOUS FILM FIENDS MORE”
I definitely think John Ryder (the amazing Dutchman Rutger Hauer) from the Hitcher should be higher on the list, maybe number 3 or 4. He’s terrifying, cold and evil but so good looking and seductive, a horrifying combo in a villain/killer. Myers is masked, Krueger is ugly, and most movie villains look nondescript, but Ryder/ Hauer…wow..he’s so mysterious! I guess Lestat De Lioncourt is a little similar…did you know Anne Rice had Rutger in mind when thinking of her perfect Lestat?! I’m a new fan of Hauer. He’s my fav European actor.
