Vampire Hunter D
I watched this today.
Very good. I can see where MUCH of BtVS, the movie, comes from. The villain even *looks* like Rutger Hauer, and there's the goon who gets his arm cut off. And there are many elements incorporated into the Blade movies as well. It came out in 1984, and I can see the influences from Tanith Lee's "Kill the Dead." There was even a SW reference.
I had a pretty good hunch D was not quite as human as he looked when we first saw him. I may have to get a copy and make a music vid to "Man in the long black coat." Then again, I'm considering that for a Brimstone vid. The only trick they missed was not making Marius D's father.
But I love the robot horses and it was very entertaining.
