badlymad ◊ 2011-06-04 00:58	Filmed in the UK, France and the U.S., Nighthawks stars Slyvester Stallone and Billy Dee Williams as two NYPD detectives pursuing a German terrorist (played by Rutger Hauer in his American film debut For impdb.org: A Bell 206 is used by Stallone when responding to the hijacking of a skytram: -- Last edit: 2011-06-04 01:03:17

mike962 ◊ 2025-01-20 17:41	humungus overlooked Sly Stallone flick
humungus ◊ 2025-01-20 19:04	You mean an overlooked Rutger Hauer flick. I have a memory of seeing this way back when, but remember nothing whatever of it. Time to see it again.
mike962 ◊ 2025-01-20 19:31	^ so you already know missing construction vehicles after Sly first chases Rutger out of a night club - P&H Omega rough terrain crane , you will easy recognize it - another Bucyrus-Erie Dynahoe backhoe - wheel loader which is Caterpillar 980C -- Last edit: 2025-01-20 19:33:08
humungus ◊ 2025-01-20 20:06	As I said, I don't remember anything (though the skytram rings a faint bell), but thanks for the tip. I'll be on the lookout for those three.
humungus ◊ 2025-01-23 00:42	“You go to a better life.” Good popcorn movie zipping along fast. Stallone's antics on and off the set make him seem like a very sad, pathetic little man, but apparently years later he owned up to his impossible behavior and praised Rutger Hauer (who's indeed terrific as always), so I suppose one has to give him credit for that. Upgraded to HD and added some vehicles. bonus Mini: bonus VW relic: bonus miniature: > blurmobiles:
mike962 ◊ 2025-01-23 00:45	^ the original longer cut is not shown either small things like notice Rutger gets shot 2 times by Sly but is seen with 6 bullet holes in chest at end , hence they cut out the shooting (revolver has 6 shots so a full clip fired) "Bionic Woman" Lindsay Wagner said she had a much larger role but was cut down a lot -- Last edit: 2025-01-23 00:48:04
mike962 ◊ 2025-01-23 00:54	another trivia Rutger uses the Ingram MAC-10 machine pistol , one of those Hollywood darlings for bad guys in 70s to 90s this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoF2sRIk2Ck in reality is one of the worst machine pistols ever made, open bolt extremely high fire rate of nearly 1500 round , you run very quickly out of ammo and accuracy is non existing really that's why this weapon was never adopted by professional military/ police forces -- Last edit: 2025-01-23 00:55:42

Given how happy studios are to double, triple and quadruple dip, I'm genuinely surprised none of the alternate cuts were ever offered as some sort of a special edition or something. Perhaps they threw away the footage.
mike962 ◊ 2025-01-23 01:04	^ and it happened again with another Sly movie later Cobra (1986) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4CCg4dYe0A clearly some cuts but the longer cuts never released -- Last edit: 2025-01-23 01:04:50
