Review: The Hitcher!!
 

Its been a while since I first saw it but I watched it last night. After seeing this movie, you will never pick up a hitch hiker. SPOILER: Jim picks up a hitcher and it becomes a cat and mouse game. The thing that bothers me is that Rutger Hauer had like 5 chances to kill Jim but just constantly let him live again and again. Yet, Rutger would kill any police officer in a second. I guess he just liked to torment Jim and toy with him. Nevertheless, good movie that has its funny moments and if you like this, I highly suggest "Joyride".

Rating: 7

I was gonna give it a rental and now I shall.

Good idea. The movie kicks aaaaass! Rutger Hauer at his best.

:cool:

hows the gore in this movie, not that it matters but it is a bonus to me:D

I don´t remember it being gory at all. But it´s entertaining as hell.

Rutger Hauer is awsome as the hitcher. :cool:

Any movie that has c thomas howell getting terrorized is good shit :)

Yes, there are too few of them out there. :D

i think theres a part 2 with jake busey stalking c thomas....but you didn't here it from me.

Don't Fuck with Pony Boy!

Dont read this.... it could be a SPOILER... But its a pretty cool quote.

John Ryder: Gas stations have cigarettes.
Jim Halsey: What about gas?
John Ryder: I don't need gas.
Jim Halsey: What do you want?
Jim Halsey: What's so funny?
John Ryder: [Stops Laughing] That's what the other guy said.
Jim Halsey: What other guy?
John Ryder: That guy back there, the one we just passed. The guy who picked me up before you did.
Jim Halsey: That was him in there?
John Ryder: Sure it was. He couldn't have walked very far.
Jim Halsey: Why's that?
John Ryder: Because I cut off his legs... and his arms... and his Head. And I'm going to do the same to you.

Never even heard of the first Hitcher until i started to watch the sequel....it was pretty fuckin bad...couldnt watch the first 20 minutes of it :(

The sequel is horrible... 1st one is much better.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Its should be recognised more its become very underated. Haven't seen the sequel yet might have to do so soon.

hmmm nice to know... liked the first one so when I so a second one in the video store...I almost got tempted to rent it...guess I pass....

I loved the hitcher.

I saw this about a year ago... confirmed the idea, "Don't pick up hitchhikers!"
