Before Dutch actor Rutger Hauer signed on for what would become his second-best role of the 1980s (after Blade Runner, obviously), action star Kurt Russell was cast as Navarre. Ladyhawke began production in 1981, the same year Russell starred in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York and Disney’s The Fox and the Hound. From the beginning, production...
Michelle Pfeiffer sent in an audition tape for the part of Isabeau, despite reservations about the fantasy genre. She had been sent part of the script to read containing a scene between Isabeau and Gaston, later played by Matthew Broderick. Pfeiffer read the part and enlisted the aid of a friendof hers to read for Gaston. The friend was a still unk...
Before being offered the role of Navarre, back when Kurt Russell was still signed on to play the part, director Richard Donner reached out to Rutger Hauer to play the villain.

Ladyhawkedefinitely bolstered his CV during this time, but he wasn’t first in line for the part. Before Broderick was offered Gaston, producers considered both Dustin Hoffman and Sean Penn.

He was not. Hauer’s pride and joy at the time was an epic motor home he constructed himself. He drove it all the way across Europe, ...

Rutger Hauer is an accomplished equestrian. He spent much of his youth riding horses, even at the competitive level. Matthew Broderick, on the other hand, was not so confident. In fact, he’d never ridden a horse before in his life. There’s a scene in Ladyhawke where Hauer’s character sends Broderick’s out alone on his horse. They planned to put Bro...
Although he considers Ladyhawkeas one of the best experiences of his career, the production nonetheless turned Hauer off the path of stardom—b y choice. Hauer has since intentionally avoided “leading man” roles in favor of smaller supporting parts. He acknowledges the attraction of wealth, but says that he fears the way producers, fans, and manager...
