Lady Hawke

More sword and sorcery gubbins; here's Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick and a rather lovely looking Michelle Pfeiffer circa 1985, Richard Donner style.

Plot: Ruts and Pfeiffer are star crossed lovers who secretly exchange vows. Sadly for them, the Bishop of Aquila fancies her himself and curses the pair. By day, he will be human and she a hawk, by night, she human and he a wolf. The only way to fix said problem is to do away with the bishop on the day of a solar eclipse. To do that, Ruts needs Matt, a thief that knows a secret way into the castle the Bishop lives in.

Look out for a pretty young looking Alfred Molina as a wolf catcher.

Budget: $20,000,000

Gross: $18,432,000

Fun Fact: Kurt Russell had been cast for the Rutger Hauer role, but pulled out early on. The film was nominated for best sound awards at the Oscars.
