Gentlemen Prefer Blonds: White hot hair lends the villainous Roy Batty an aura of icy, alien ‘otherness’ in Ridley Scott’s unparalleled sci-fable Blade Runner. Paired with Daryl Hannah's slightly-less impressive but still 'out there' mop, these two make for a deadly duo that exceed the restrictions of their dodgy stylings.

Dumb Blond: Certainly not. Batty's movie smarts aside, Hauer has masterfully forged a varied career for himself, playing goodies and baddies with equal amounts of aplomb. He’s lost none of his touch in recent years, either: his next movie is the awesome-sounding Hobo With A Shotgun.
