Yeah he's like "Go back to your mother, boy!" There's also the matter of fact he's dealing with men with no honor. Especially a captain who would sacrifice his own soldier instead of himself.
It’s also great filmmaking where every action tells the story, and is character driven. You immediately know lots about Navarre from the first moment of this scene: he’s calm, courageous, capable, tough, noble. Haven’t seen this for years but it’s impressive the kind of charisma Rutger Hauer exudes.
This movie remains my all time favorite... Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfieffer, and Matthew Broderick... I've loved every movie they've all ever been in since.
Wonderful film! The movie that introduced me to the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer. An under-appreciated fantasy action romance film with a great soundtrack.
I've seen this movie at least a hundred times. Ken Hutchison as Marquet was a worthy opponent to Rutgers' Navarre. I liked his presence and his looks. They were both badass knights.
This fight scene shows us who Navarre is in less than two minutes. He is capable of considerable destruction, very much a lateral thinker, informed by but not ruled by his emotions, and extremely principled. He doesn't destroy the tavern. He doesn't use lethal violence unless it's fully justified (and sometimes not even then). He uses precision strikes that won't lend to collateral damage. And I think what really grabs me is how he could easily kill Marquet and would like to, but instead spares him because Marquet is clearly concussed and can't defend himself. But there's no rule against chucking him in a cooking fire! So a great deal of honor spiced with a little bit of pettiness, which makes him human. "Show, don't tell" is demonstrated RIGHT HERE. Donner was an absolute master, and like Navarre, we will not see many like him...but maybe we can, like Phillipe, draw inspiration and be uplifted by the example.
One thing that always puzzled me in this scene is why he didn't lower his sword as quickly as the other man. I'm gathering that it was due to him being on the defensive and of a higher rank than the other man who immediately dropped his sword once he realized he was speaking to his former captain whom he apparently highly regarded.
Magic, excitement, drama, action, fantasy, thrills, and adventures. What an epic sword fight. Captain Navarre vs the soldiers. Daring sword fighting! 🧚🧚♂🧚♀
i love the soundtrack! it contrasts and pales in comparison to the screenplay and visuals, it is so stunning with the sound. its like the story in a video game come to life. It is soo animated!
We actually watched this film in my 6th grade class back in middle school (along with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Labyrinth)...I have no idea why.
The first time I really saw it was because a summer school teacher in Grade 9 made it part of the curriculum. Been in love with it since. I recall her saying she wanted to share her favourite movie. Likely you had a fan as a teacher as well. :)
2:08 It speaks well of his character to confirm that Francesco is dead and perhaps to pay last respects. For all we know besides old comrades in arms he may have trained him. He deserved a better fate than being sacrificed by the coward he was placed under. And for all we know his death may have been used later on to vilify Navar more so through lies.
He only had his shortsword, and you don't want to waste time trying to pull it out of an impalement; it might get hung up, and then your hands are occupied and your back is exposed to attackers. From a narrative perspective, it gives us a chance to see how intelligent, creative, and EFFECTIVE he can be even without lethal violence.
0:34 Passing the crossbow to Matthew Broderick's character 2:12 Picking the crossbow up off the ground Don't remember the film. Did he have more of them?
I think it is to imply that he handed the crossbow to Broderick's character (the Mouse), but then he dropped it anyway to run. These two characters don't know each other yet and the Mouse is just trying to get away.
Get on your leotards...and 2 steps to the left,.. 2 steps to the right...!!! Now get on the floor and squeeze them buns. Squeeze, Squeeze, Squeeze...!!!
Everybody does know that Navarre turns into a wolf and Ladyhawke in the day? It's kind of strange I fight with a person who can turn into a wolf. That I believe explains why everyone hesitates when fighting.
Two years before this film, composer Andrew Powell recorded "Andrew Powell and the Philharmonic Orchestra Play the Best of the Alan Parsons Project." That pretty much says it all.
Nothing inappropriate about it, if you understand that it's a fantasy out of time. Prog rock. Look it up. Just another clueless a-hole whining about the music when many movies had unusual soundtrack music.
I always liked his carefree and quite sarcastic expression, Rest in Peace Mister Hauer !!!
Love how he simply knocks the last guardsman’s blade aside with his hand. This is a man annoyed at having to deal with amateurs.
Yeah he's like "Go back to your mother, boy!" There's also the matter of fact he's dealing with men with no honor. Especially a captain who would sacrifice his own soldier instead of himself.
Well, it IS annoying when you have to deal with amateurs and incompetent people
That good acting by Rutger Hauer there 💯
Yes, that last, contemptuous swat--sheer intimidation!
It’s also great filmmaking where every action tells the story, and is character driven.

You were great in this role, Rutger! RIP
Rest in peace, Rutger Hauer...I'm in tears right now
Same! This is one of my all-time favourite movies.
What?? When did he died?????
Me too. I am rewatching this with tears...well, even more tears than before
@@duka1461 July 19th. The funeral was on the 24th. He was 75.
I was devastated when I found out he died
This movie remains my all time favorite... Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfieffer, and Matthew Broderick... I've loved every movie they've all ever been in since.
Gone but not forgotten. Rest in Peace, dear Etienne. You deserve it.
Rest in peace Rutger Hauer. Thanks for all the great films.
The best medieval movie I ever saw with the best music I ever listened to in this kind of movies
yup
My family and I really loved watching this movie! And I think the cheesy 80's music is very good! Still a great movie!
The princess bride, this one is amazing, but the princess bride.
In my opinion, "Ladyhawke" is right up there with "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" in terms of Medieval movies!
Just popped in to pay my respects. My childhood hero from one of my favorite movies. Rest in peace.
Wonderful film! The movie that introduced me to the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer. An under-appreciated fantasy action romance film with a great soundtrack.
Just like with you, "Ladyhawke" introduced ME to Michelle Pfeiffer!
1. Hauer was a badass, may he rest in peace.
2. This movie's soundtrack will always be baffling.
I really used to hate the soundtrack for this film but it's kind of grown on me as the years go by! XD
The dude's so badass he can disarm a guy just by giving his sword a backhanded-slap.
Nothing baffling about it....the 80s
It is a holdover from 70's era soundtracks where what was essentially circus music would play over horrifying scenes of violence.
the first minute of the soundtrack makes sense, but nothing beyond that.
I've seen this movie at least a hundred times. Ken Hutchison as Marquet was a worthy opponent to Rutgers' Navarre. I liked his presence and his looks. They were both badass knights.
You certainly do not get that anymore, especially credible and competent antagonists.
This fight scene shows us who Navarre is in less than two minutes.

One of my favorite 80’s films
RIP Rutger Hauer. You will be missed.
I've just found out about Rutger Hauer's passing. So sad... R.I.P. Navarre.
Navarre!
Oh Captain, my Captain... I'm also in tears. I'll miss your inspiring boldness.
And the creaking leather as he holds his broadsword against the Bishop and forces him to look at himself and Isabeau, breaking the curse.
my favourite movie of all time. A great actor. For ever appreciated and missed. RIP
A timeless score. Impossible to tell what decade this was from.
Ted Bailey. 🤔 eighties❣️
@@IndomitableT ah yes I think I hear some hints of that in the music now that you mention it.
Magic, excitement, drama, action, fantasy, thrills, and adventures. What an epic sword fight. Captain Navarre vs the soldiers. Daring sword fighting! 🧚🧚♂🧚♀

"...Captain Navarre🥺"
" Francesco😌"
"...CAPTAIN?!😒"
Rest in peace, Captain Navarre...
i love the soundtrack! it contrasts and pales in comparison to the screenplay and visuals, it is so stunning with the sound. its like the story in a video game come to life. It is soo animated!
RIP, Rutger. The world is a little less bright without you in it.
That Power Slap of Elbow Destruction...
Now, that's what you call an entrance
He beated all of them without his sword! Badass!
R.I.P. Rutger Hauer.
marc caals I know
We will always remember you Mr. Hauer.
Riposa in pace capitano Navarre!
1:55 😂😂😂 like "gtfo before I really lose it!" 😂😂😂
Captain Navarre was always one of my favorites
I loved this movie! Probably seen it over twelve times. Thanks!
Rutger Hauer would have made a great Aragorn. In fact, I think Viggo Mortensen took a lot of inspiration from him.
RIP Rutger
Goodbye...Oh Captain, my captain. 😭
The violins kick butt on this song! That must have been tricks as hell to get right (especially the 16th note playing at the end ! )
Its a synth keyboard
did they use a toy casio?
Bow down before The Alan Parsons Project, you knave!
Great movie. Rutger Hauerwas great as the hero.
And that is why I always carry a double arrowed crossbow
Ladyhawk is 1of my favorite movies.
Ferris Bueller meets Roy Batty!!!.
Goodbye Captian 😢😢
What really makes Navarre invincible is his skill to improvise instantly
Rutger Hauer in his finest! RIP monsiuer, RIP.
I love the music. :)
Doesn't even draw his sword and bests all of them. Absolute unit.
I'm from Piacenza, and Francesco was my uncle!
I saw this movie as a kid.
I wanted a crossbow because of it. Got a sucky mini bow instead.
We actually watched this film in my 6th grade class back in middle school (along with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Labyrinth)...I have no idea why.
Jamie Dianne The teacher was drunk or high. Been there.
The first time I really saw it was because a summer school teacher in Grade 9 made it part of the curriculum. Been in love with it since. I recall her saying she wanted to share her favourite movie. Likely you had a fan as a teacher as well. :)
RiP, Rutger. :(
i can't forget Mathew Brodericks' character such an honest christian. in constant communication with god unforgettable
Captain Navarre👍🙂❤!
I wanted a double crossbow when I saw this back in the 80s.
Marqet was wearing one of those anti sweat beaded seat covers you see in 1970s cars. Why not just a chainmail hauberk?
2:08 It speaks well of his character to confirm that Francesco is dead and perhaps to pay last respects. For all we know besides old comrades in arms he may have trained him. He deserved a better fate than being sacrificed by the coward he was placed under. And for all we know his death may have been used later on to vilify Navar more so through lies.
Arnold in spandex would've fit perfectly within this scene
Rutger.Inolvidable.👀💖👏👏👏🌹🍃🌹🍃🌹🍃
RIP Ken Hutchison villain in this movie & Space 1999 season 2
Alexander Pechersky (Sobibor)
i love when he switches to fist. don't bother sword. i got this.
men die by the sword.
He only had his shortsword, and you don't want to waste time trying to pull it out of an impalement; it might get hung up, and then your hands are occupied and your back is exposed to attackers.
From a narrative perspective, it gives us a chance to see how intelligent, creative, and EFFECTIVE he can be even without lethal violence.
Why does he even care about one of the guards killed?
Because the guard who died was his friend
This movie starts out really good, but it starts lagging when phillipe learns the truth about Navarre and isabeau
This must be before he lost his sight
It's just fury without the blind
The Guy really has trouble staying on feet and fighting.
He's just been punched in the face as hard as Navarre can punch, which is considerable. Concussions are no joke.
0:34 Passing the crossbow to Matthew Broderick's character
2:12 Picking the crossbow up off the ground
Don't remember the film. Did he have more of them?
JerryV. Probably a continuity error 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤩

Eu amava este príncipe 😭😓😭😓😭
I need to pull off this outfit.
my favorite blond actor lol
What does Captain Navarre say to the guy at 1:47 ? Does anyone know please?
"You..."
"Tu" means "You"
Get on your leotards...and 2 steps to the left,.. 2 steps to the right...!!!
Now get on the floor and squeeze them buns. Squeeze, Squeeze, Squeeze...!!!
Everybody does know that Navarre turns into a wolf and Ladyhawke in the day? It's kind of strange I fight with a person who can turn into a wolf. That I believe explains why everyone hesitates when fighting.
Except Navarre is more dangerous as a human
@@Losrandir True
This film is brilliant and full of talent. It's just a shame about the music :-/
The music is great!!!
The music is powerful. Gtfo
Esse filme ele é fraco em termos de ação mas é divertido!
Gunslinger!
Adeus.
What? No Ready Player One comments?
A great film. But the music must have been composed by an 11 year old with a $100 Casio synth keyboard.
Two years before this film, composer Andrew Powell recorded "Andrew Powell and the Philharmonic Orchestra Play the Best of the Alan Parsons Project." That pretty much says it all.
Otro Pendejo!, No point to explain it to you
@Shining Glaive
Stupid millenial comment...
Doth wast that mysterious man?
cheesy but fun !
If this movie had the score from Robin hood prince of Thieves...
Or Prince of Thieves had this score......
😂👏👏👍
RIP Rutger. Great movie, terribly inappropriate soundtrack music. Ah the 80's....
Hey, ya know, it was the 80's. Anyway, RIP Rutger Hauer. Truly underrated actor.
Nothing inappropriate about it, if you understand that it's a fantasy out of time. Prog rock. Look it up.
Just another clueless a-hole whining about the music when many movies had unusual soundtrack music.
Said the idiot person who has no idea who they are talking to
Llego Don Vergas!
screw the movie, i want the soundtrack
Produced by the great Alan Parsons.
My god the score belongs in a cheesy 80's cop show not a fantasy film like this
Lets put it this way, the one that belongs to another place is you and your taste
0:17 he's lucky that guy couldn't aim worth 💩 or he would be dead.
Luxo
Yeah/
❤️
well they could do better with the action but no
Good movie, but the horribly cheesy 80's synth music spread throughout the film nearly killed it.
+Tommy Udo That cheesy music is the main reason people still remember it, it's unique and entirely different from all John Williams' scores
+Koen King for sure
"" the horribly cheesy 80's synth music spread throughout the film nearly killed it.""""
ARE YOU DRUNK ? ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
RISPONDI
Eres un pendejo! No point to explain it
poor you......
jesus when that music started up I forgot how cringe this soundtrack is
Damn 80's Mega Man music. Ugh...
The music ruins the scene
Jesus Christ I get ear cancer from that music to this film
the music ruins the scene
not to mention the swords look like they're made out of aluminum foil
Matthew Broderick mis-cast, alan parsons mis-scored, neither was enough to stop this from being a great movie.
What? Matthew Broderick was perfect, and Alan Parsons' score brilliant! Speak not ill of this masterpiece, knave! ;-)
It's too bad this wonderful one-of-a-kind movie had such a crap soundtrack.
Rutger Hauer was great in this, but this film sorely needed an orchestral score.
Movie is Good but soundtrack sucks
