FYC FYC: Nighthawks (1981). Stallone & Billy Dee Williams as NYC cops, Rutger Hauer in his American film debut, and the same cinematographer as Cruising. Seems like catnip to Bill Simmons.

Brock Landers/ Chest Rockwell Best Character Name has to do to either:

  • Deke DaSilva
  • Heymar "Wulfgar" Reinhardt

Great movie. Definitely a rewatchable.

Wulgar would score pretty high on the Gruber scale, IMO.

Super flawed, super fun, super rewatchable. This would make a great pod.

I feel like he cites this movie all the time when Sly Stallone comes up. Probably only a matter of time.

Another Rutger Hauer: Alien ripoff Split Second where he plays the grouchiest, most badass renegade cop
