Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month - ”Split Second”

We here at Cinema Degeneration have declared May 2022 "Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month!" Twice a week we'll be releasing a show diving into a different film from Mr. Hauer's catalog of 175 film and television roles all throughout the month of May. The late Rutger Hauer, who unfortunately passed away in 2019, was a consummate professional thespian, writer, director, and devoted environmentalist, amongst many many other things. He graced the silver screen in many amazing shockers and brilliant films, normally playing heavies and villains and was known for his intense yet subtle performances. His amazing talent truly knew no bounds. For our 5th episode we bring you a review and deep dive discussion on the absolute bonkers insane science fiction/horror/buddy cop flick extravaganza with the 1992 "SPLIT SECOND" which also stars Kim Cattrall, Neil Duncan and Michael J. Pollard.  This film is set in the flooded city of London in a futuristic and dystopian future of 2008, where our anti-hero and cop Harley Stone (Hauer) chases what could be an inhuman serial killer across the city. Join our hosts Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration CEO) and two very familiar co-hosts no stranger to Cinema Degeneration including Eric Phillips and Korey Dawson as the three of them talk about one of their favorite Rutger Hauer films.

 

"Are you telling me there's something running around loose in the city, ripping out people's hearts and eating them so he can take their souls back to hell?"
