Our favourite Trivia:
Rutger Hauer’s initial fortunes were shaped by Paul Verhoeven, who cast him in the TVseries Floris (1969), and the features Turkish Delight (1973), Keetje Tippel (1975), Soldier of Orange (1977) and Spetters (1980). But they fell out making Flesh+Blood (1985) in Hollywood.
Rutger didn’t want to do the film after his success in Blade Runner and Nighthawks however he signed up before those films were released and was forced to do it. He frequently argued with Verhoeven and insisted that Martin be a more sympathetic character, as he didn’t want to be typecast as a villain. They would swear at each other constantly in Dutch, prompting the crew to insist that they argue in English.
Verhoeven wanted this to be a film about a feud between Martin and Hawkwood, however the studio insisted on a romantic story. Verhoeven regrets changing the story.
Verhoeven wanted to portray medieval times as they were, with a moral gray area for his characters.
The film was shot in Spain where the weather messed up the shoot thanks to heavy rain, snow and wind.
The cast renamed the film Flesh+Blood+Elbows because Verhoeven didn’t storyboard the film, so the cast ended up elbowing each other out of frames to try and get more screen time.
The creator of Bezerk modeled the character of Guts on Martin.
