I primarily know Weller from three things: Robocop, Dexter, and Buckaroo Banzai. And I don't really like Buckaroo Banzai.
You sure you want to admit that 'round these parts?

Rutger Hauer is just a poor man's Dennis Hopper. Who is himself just a poor man's Rutger HauerCould throw in Rutger Hauer for a trifecta.

I don't hate it, I just don't see the appeal. It's a movie I remember from my childhood, but not one I have fond memories of. I saw it again as a teen and still didn't get the appeal.You sure you want to admit that 'round these parts?

Also, it can be mathematically proven Rutger Hauer is the poor man’s Rutger Hauer.
I think that Carpenter's involvement, and his need to own anything that he makes, is in a large part responsible for how that movie turned out. The book "Vampire$" was much better, overall.I tried re-watching John Carpenter's Vampires and I just couldn't do it. His character is such an abrasive over-macho character (with none of the likeability that classic 80s action heroes brought to their roles) that too much of who he is in real life was bleeding through for me. I'm afraid to return to my old favorite Videodrome for that same reason.

I also remember Stone Cold, the Brian Bosworth vehicle where Henriksen played the charismatic psychopathic leader of a motorcycle gang.Lance Henriksen is the MAN! Stellar performances in Terminator, No Escape, Hard Target (where he played a charismatic psychopath), and Aliens.

EDIT - I liked the book so much that I made sure to see the movie in a theatre, when it came out.
