<\/div>\n

One year after The Empire Strikes Back<\/a><\/em> premiered with Billy Dee Williams<\/a> as Lando Calrissian, the actor co-starred in a film with Sylvester Stallone<\/a><\/strong>, who had already portrayed Rocky Balboa<\/a> in two films. No, they didn\u2019t reprise their noted iconic roles, but they became a part of an outstanding film that some will still say is overlooked today.<\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m talking about the 1981 film Nighthawks<\/em>. The movie has since become noteworthy for Rutger Hauer\u2019s performance, the script, and the shot-on-location spots around New York City.<\/p>\n

Stallone and Williams play a pair of New York City cops \u2014 Da Silva and Fox, respectively \u2014who begin the film by fighting crime on the subway undercover, but when an international terrorist named Wulfgar is believed to have recently relocated to NYC, then the duo become part of a small task force that\u2019s looking for him.<\/p>\n

Originally, the movie was intended to be the third French Connection<\/em> film, but Gene Hackman chose to move on from the Popeye Doyle role and 20th Century Fox chose not to recast it. Instead, they sold David Shaber\u2019s script to Universal who made it a Sly Stallone feature, thanks to Shaber\u2019s slight reworking of the story.<\/p>\n
