I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Fantastic actor.

BladeRunner was set in 2019.

 

[Steel Icarus]

That's really sad. It's one of the all-time great movie speeches, in dialogue and performance. It's also more or less the only thing I know about him.

The ‘tears in rain’ speech is my favourite spoken part in film. Gutted to hear this.

RIP Rutger.

 

[Sprocket.]

Top man, loved him in Bladerunner and The Hitcher.
RIP.

 

[kittyP]

RIP

He was a brilliant actor and I am far more upset about this that I thought I would be.

 

[ruffneck23]

RIP was fantastic in the hitcher

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Flesh & Blood was fantastic. Eureka by Nic Roeg was also a film I really loved. The Hitcher and Blade Runner go without saying.

....and who can forget Hobo with a Shotgun?

 

[Plumdaff]

Oh that's a shame RIP

 

[rubbershoes]

He never got to play that cyberpunk from the future

 

[starfish]

The Hitcher is one my all time faves. And Ladyhawke. RIP.

Flesh & Blood was fantastic.

I think his was the first willy I saw on screen

Must have been good if you remember it.

 

[redsquirrel]

Shit. Excellent actor who ended up starring in a whole load of dross.

 

[Badgers]

Gutted

 

[DotCommunist]

A legend has fallen, his like again we shall not etc etc. Of course we all remember Roy Baty, but from his later work Hobo With A Shotgun is magnificent

 

[Orang Utan]

Must have been good if you remember it.

Aye, it was a chubby one

 

[DotCommunist]

Ladyhawke.

yes! I will download it for a rewatch in his honour

 

[DotCommunist]

Fantastic actor.

wrote that himself, and pressed for it to be included. iirc the 'On Edge of Bladerunner' doc talks about how that shot came about, the dawn breaking.

 

[D'wards]

I always thought he never fulfilled his full potential as an actor.
He had a real unusual vibe to him and was a strikingly handsome man

 

[marty21]

Sad news RIP Rutger.

 

[xenon]

He was cool. Let’s not forget the Guinness adverts.. And the film Split Second.

RIP

 

[xenon]

I’m not being ironic, I liked them.

 

[blairsh]

Blind Fury

 

[DexterTCN]

Salute of the Jugger was mad.

 

[Indeliblelink]

Wedlock/Deadlock, that sci-fi where he escapes with a woman but if they are separated by more than a few feet the explosive locked collars they're wearing will detonate.

 

[butchersapron]

I don't know much about him other than he wrote/re-wrote one the most evocative lines ever and that the character he did it in had the name of someone who should have been in corrie. Both genius moves.

 

[DexterTCN]

Rutger...and beer.
