Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A slick, sometimes over the top action adventure set in New York City during the end of the disco era, Nighthawks stars Sylvester Stallone as a hotshot New York cop with a troubled personal life drawn into an international terrorist vendetta. Stallone and partner Billy Dee Williams are recruited into a covert operation to stop an infamous terrorist named Wulfgar (Rutger Hauer), whom they believe to be in New York. Soon a cat-and-mouse game ensues between the blue-collar cop and the refined terrorist through the streets, discotheques, and subways of the city. And then things get personal as Wulfgar targets Stallone's wife (Lindsay Wagner). A fairly routine but well-photographed action thriller with the usual fast-paced adrenaline rush sequences for which Stallone has become famous. --Robert Lane

Rating:  - Movie OK, soundtrack dynamite
Back in 1981 I happened to be walking past a music store as they were playing the soundtrack to the motion picture "Night Hawks," starring Sylvester Stallone. The music captured me instantly and I bought the soundtrack on the spot. Didn't much care about seeing the movie - and didn't.
Years passed and the cassette "died." I still remembered the music... but life moves on.
For some reason it came back to me and I decided to order it, an LP, via Amazon. Got it and it ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointed, But read on
Sly Stallone & Billy Dee Williams are decoy cops,
recuited to hunt and stop terrorist. Ruger Hauer,
is an outcast terrorist looking to make a point and
get back into the good graces of head terrorists.
This is a well paced, action-packed film I really
enjoyed when it came out . . . now for the down-side
I got this not only because I enjoyed the movie but
also Keith Emerson's riveting soundtrack, that added
to the overall pace of the film. Getting ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie - But Fake Cropped Widescreen
The aspect ratio is fake.
The top and bottom of the regular full screen version has been cropped out of the picture to give the illusion your getting a widescreen - what your getting is less picture!
It appears to be the studio who released this DVD used their old VHS film transfer copy, instead of re-transfering from the film.
The studios should label the DVD's as they did when they cropped VHS video picture " this film has been modified to fit you tv screen" as in modified to fit ... Read More
Rating: - This is Wulfgar calling......................
This is a Stallone movie! I have some Amazon Bros that have been
talking about Stallone the past week and it made me remember
this precious gem. In this Stallone is a cop in New York
and his partner is Billy-Dee Williams. At first nothing all that
great for action we get Stallone and Williams shooting at the
bad guys that Bronson or Eastwood(had to mention them)would kill.
Switch scene in England where we are introduced a sick twisted
f$%k by the name of Wolfgar(played ... Read More
Rating:  - Crackers with that Cheese?
The Amazon review is fairer than usual, though it still paints too glowing a picture of this film. I turned it off last night about a third of the way through. Listening to the sergeant brief them on Rutgar or Wolfgar the terrorist (longest "brief" I ever heard!) was putting me to sleep. And the strain of melodrama running through it had me less than intrigued.
After reading all these great reviews, I've put it back on again this morning (I'm taking care of my pictures on-line at the same time). ... Read More
