Movie review - "Ladyhawke" (1985) ***

 Sweet fantasy adventure. Public didn't go for it though it's developed a cult. Good script. Maybe they didn't like Rutger Hauer as a hero though he's fine... a believable knight. Michelle Pfeiffer is gorgeous (I would've preferred long hair). Matthew Broderick is very New York but that's fine it suits the character. Leo McKern and John Wood fun. Maybe this needed to be set in England? Who knows. Kurt Russell, the original choice, would've been interesting. Very satisfying ending. I guess they could've done more with the extras who sat around watching the fight - didn't they have an opinion?
