Amazon.com essential video:
This lushly produced fantasy has gained a loyal following since its release in 1985, and it gave a welcomed boost to the careers of Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. You have to ignore the overly aggressive music score (critic Pauline Kael aptly dubbed it 'disco-medieval') and director Richard Donner's reckless allowance of anachronistic dialogue and uninspired storytelling, but there's a certain charm to the movie's combination of romance and heroism. Broderick plays a young thief who comes to the aid of tragic lovers Isabeau (Pfeiffer), who is cursed to become a hawk every day at sunrise and Navarre (Hauer) who turns into a wolf at sunset. The curse was cast by an evil sorcerer-bishop (John Wood), and as Broderick eludes the bishop's henchmen, Navarre struggles to conquer the villain, lift the curse, and be reunited with his love in human form. The tragedy of this lovers' dilemma keeps the movie going, and Broderick is well cast as a young, medieval variation of Woody Allen. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome movie!!
Loved this movie and was thrilled to find it on dvd. It was delivered as promised and it plays great.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LadyHawke
This is one of my most favorite movies. I was really glad to receive it so quikly. Thank you.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Greatest Movies Of All Time
You know that it is a beautifully written movie if it will make a guy tear up, and the main theme song alone does that to me. The story is very personal, meaning that if you have ever been in love, you can relate to any character on the movie. The score for the film is a little dated, but it doesn't stop it from being fantastic. Like I said, it makes me tear up every time I hear the theme. The movie itself is wonderful to look at. The scenery is amazing. Overall, an amazing film.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cult classic

Ladyhawke is even better revisited.

I first saw this film in the theatres and on VHS over 20 years ago. It has aged well, and like fine wine, improved. Who couldn't fall in love with Michelle Pfeiffer in this movie. Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick, and the cast created a mood film, that says 'Try and stop watching me'. Add to the mix the Andrew Powell (Allan Parsons) soundtrack, and you have a winner.

Fairy tale romance? It's here.

Swordplay...it's here!

Classic film, pick Ladyhawke. Schuler/Donner should be knighted for this film.
