A lot of this list is trying to show Hauer’s variety as an actor. He’s not just always just the bad guy. But of course, he does play a hell of a villain, and in early Sly Stallone thriller Nighthawks as good a bad guy as he ever played. Hauer is one of the freelance terrorist types that were so beloved by 70s and 80s movies, and he’s just got that ...
Despite being Dutch, Hauer seems to play Nazis quite a lot. This adaptation of Robert Harris’ best-selling alternate history novel is set in a 1960s where Germany won the war, and Hauer is an SS detective investigating the murder of a German official – only to discover that the rabbit hole goes much, much deeper. Made by HBO, it’s a great set up, a...

Richard Donner’s ’80s fantasy flick might be pretty damn cheesy – especially to modern eyes – but it’s a hell of a lot of fun. Apparently Donner originally wanted Hauer as the bad guy, but he ended up replacing Kurt Russell as the main lead. And it worked out well, as the dignified Hauer makes a great comic foil for Matthew Broderick’s clumsy young...
Hauer can be a hammy actor. And you’d think that a film where he plays a crazy hitchhiker would give ample opportunity to go full-ham. But he plays it cool. The film is based on such a simple, relatable terror (a random psycho choosing to attack you for no reason), that he doesn’t need to go OTT. He smiles, he smirks, he drips with swag. He is tota...
