Nighthawks (1981)

[HaplessCrewman]

Look at the cast of this film.

Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), Billy Dee Williams (The Empire Strikes Back), Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner), Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman), and Persis Khambatta (ST:TMP).

Can anyone else name a film that features such a diverse cast of genre veterans?

It was esp. sad to see the late Persis Khambatta.

What's so special? White etnic cop with a black sidekick. White terrorist with an etnic girlfriend. Seems to be the standard package.

Buckaroo Banzai anyone?

Stallone in a wig...that's all I remember.

I don't remember much about it besides the cast, but I do have prog-rock keyboardist Keith Emerson's score for it on CD!
