Many moons ago you all helped me id Flesh & Blood with Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh with very little information to go on and now I’m asking again.

Another Hauer movie. He played a pimp. The main character was a prostitute whose street name was Princess. She had very small breasts. That’s all I got. Anybody remember this?

Are you sure you’re not thinking of Wings Hauser?

Here’s a movie called [_Vice Squad_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084861/) where he played a pimp named Ramrod and the main character is named Princess.

> A Los Angeles businesswoman, known only by her street name of Princess, turns to prostitution to support herself and her young daughter when she’s forced by Detective Tom Walsh and his vice squad to help them arrest a brutal pimp named Ramrod for the murder of a prostitute named Ginger.

That’s it! How’dja find it even after I mis-labeled who was in it? Ruger, Wings. . . what’s the difference?

[del]Dumb luck[/del] I got mad Google skillz. 😃

I checked out Rutger’s IMDB page, hoping something would jump out but there was just too many listed.

So I googled “‘Rutger Hauer’ princess pimp” and the fourth link that came up was this page: [http://www.famozz.com/actors/wings-hauser](http://www.famozz.com/actors/wings-hauser) and the description sounded promising.

Wow, I actually saw that in the theater! I hadn’t thought of that movie for decades. I remember thinking it was very good. Hauser was terrifying.

I just noticed it had Nina Blackwood in it. She was one of the original 5 MTV VJs.

And Hauser \*can \*be quite menacing.
