A 1985 fantasy/adventure film directed by Richard Donner, with a cast featuring both a number of veteran actors (such as John Wood, Rutger Hauer, and Leo McKern) and young actors who would go on to become Household Names (Matthew Broderick and Michelle Pfeiffer).In the medieval French town of Aquila, a young thief named Philippe the Mouse (Broderick) escapes prison by sneaking through the sewers. Said prison and the lands around it are controlled by a corrupt Bishop (Wood), and he is none too pleased to hear of this (the prison is supposed to be inescapable, after all). The Bishop's guardsmen pursue and corner Philippe, but Etienne of Navarre (Hauer) unexpectedly comes to his rescue, aided by his fierce and beautiful hawk.Navarre has a score to settle with the Bishop. Not only was he the former Captain of the guard, he and the Bishop once loved the same woman, Isabeau d'Anjou (Pfeiffer). When she chose Navarre, the jealous Bishop called down a curse on them: during the day, Isabeau is a hawk; by night, Navarre is a wolf. Navarre plans to use Philippe's knowledge of the sewers to infiltrate Aquila and slay the Bishop, but his obsession might lead to tragedy. For the disgraced monk Imperius knows a way to break the curse, but it will only be possible while the Bishop is alive...

Hero Exit Stage Left: An inversion of the normal trope. After the curse is broken, Imperius and Mouse try to slip out without being seen. Navarre doesn't let them.

comment
Home Field Advantage: Imperius is living in a ruin of a keep. Despite being a fat, old monk, he still manages to easily get the better of anyone trying to barge into his home. He also lectures Mouse early on to only step on the left side of a bridge but doesn't explain why. When the Bishop's men storm the place, one of them starts across the bridge only to fall through, as the boards are rotting and the bridge is only solid along its left side.

Green-Eyed Monster: The spurned Bishop turned to the infernal to spite Isabeau and Navarre. And when even that failed, he tried to kill the object of his affection so no other man could have her. Even Navarre has moments where he almost seems to hate Philippe for the time he gets to spend with Isabeau. (Philippe is able to defuse it by saying she only talked about Navarre.)

Automaton Horses: Averted, for the most part.

Deal with the Devil: The Bishop asked the Devil to curse the lovers. In the novelization and earlier versions of the script, Navarre is told by Imperius to not kill the Bishop after the curse is broken, as the devil will be coming to collect his soul and presumably does so by turning him into a (sickly) wolf himself.

Adaptational Villainy: In the novelization, Marquet is the one who tells the Bishop about Navarre and Isabeau's relationship, effectively dooming them just so he could get a promotion. The film's Marquet is still a brutal, murderous man, but apparently isn't a traitor and got his position honestly.

Anachronism Stew: Navarre claims his massive two-handed sword has been in his family for five generations. With the film being set around the 13th Century, this means the sword would have been forged in either the second half of the 11th Century or the first half of the 12th Century. However, the design is of a type that wouldn't appear until the 16th Century.

Curse Escape Clause
 Ladyhawke / int_275773bd
comment
In a way, the bishop himself is one. As much as Navarre wants to kill him he must be kept alive if the curse is to be broken: the Curse Escape Clause requires him seeing both Navarre and Isabeau's human forms at the same time. Once the curse is broken, however, all bets are off.

comment
Token Good Cop: Since Navarre was disgraced and exiled, the Bishop of Aquila's guards have become quite nasty in their enforcement of the laws. When Navarre returns, one of the guards who previously served under him won’t fight him and respectfully addresses Navarre as if he is still Captain. This promptly gets the guard killed by Marquet the new Captain , after which the other guards, even the ones who knew Navarre, oppose him more sternly for the rest of the film, until the climax, when a large group of their remaining number let him pass for his confrontation with Marquet and the Bishop.

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: When Navarre and Marquet fight each other in the church on horseback, they're both wearing helmets. Marquet rips off his helmet when unhorsed and actually throws it at Navarre, but misses and breaks the rose window of the church. Navarre initially leaves his on even after Marquet drags him off his horse, but he then rips it off in order to see better when he notices the eclipse beginning.

So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Isabeau's looks gets her the attention of Navarre, but it also attracts the powerful, evil Bishop of Aquila. It's shown in the film he's fond of pretty women, but Isabeau is beautiful enough that he's willing to do whatever it takes to get her, up to and including making a Deal with the Devil to ruin her and Navarre's lives. He's also willing to kill her if the curse gets broken.

Bad Boss: Marquet, who replaced Navarre as the Captain of the Guards, throws one of his underlings on Navarre's sword and gets him killed just for addressing Navarre as "captain." That said, in the novelization, he apologizes to a guard he had demoted and reinstates him - he didn't believe the guard when he described Navarre. The Bishop constantly berates Marquet for his failures and, at some point, he even threatens to have him executed if Isabeau should be hurt while in her hawk form.

Night and Day Duo: The film contains a literal example. Lovers Navarre and Isabeau were cursed so that Navarre is human during the day and a wolf at night while Isabeau is human at night and a hawk during the day.

Downer Ending: In-universe: when the "day without a night" doesn't seem to have happened according to Imperius' prediction, Navarre wonders if perhaps God intended all along for Navarre and Isabeau to die without breaking the curse (and presumably reunite in heaven.) The actual story is a Surprisingly Happy Ending.

What Measure Is a Mook?: While Navarre has no issues killing the guards when he must, when possible, he tries to avoid doing so. In one case, he actually mourns the death of one, Francesco, after Captain Marquet shoved said guard onto Navarre's sword, for calling him "Captain Navarre". Justifiable in that Navarre was once their captain, and there is still some bond between him and the men left.

Not What It Looks Like: A weird variation. When Philippe stretches and yawns, the hawk lands on his arm, not Navarre's. The former is embarrassed and the latter is in shock. There's also a Not What It Sounds Like variation: when Navarre asks Philippe about the previous night, Philippe says he and Isabeau went to a stable and "changed clothes," which was completely innocent but riles up a jealous Navarre.

Magic Is Evil: The only explicit magic in the film—Navarre and Isabeau's curse—is clearly said to be caused by the powers of Hell. The most the good guys get is Imperius claiming God revealed to him how to break the curse, and the "day without a night/night without a day" maaaybe being divine intervention. There's no true "good" magic.

Corrupt Church: The entire region of Aquila in the Middle Ages is ruled by this trope. Unusually, however, the movie averts the trope's implicit Take That! qualities in that the protagonists are all depicted as genuinely devout, faithful, and God-fearing. In the end, it's possibly only the Bishop and Marquet who are corrupt, but they have the authority to pervert the Church's influence in the region.

Animal Stereotypes: The guy who turns into a wolf is a fierce, loyal badass who can be absolutely vicious when riled up, and the guy called "the Mouse" is a cowardly Action Survivor thief who prefers to hide and be sneaky whenever possible. Isabeau is fairly fierce and graceful herself. It's observed in The Movie that hawks and wolves mate for life (though not with each other, of course) signifying the couple's enduring faithfulness. Both species will eat mice when given the chance, though they also hunt and eat other predators who eat mice, so make of that what you will.

Flynning: The sword technique is rough around the edges, featuring big windups, wide misses, and loud clanging. Despite this, it is high quality by eighties standards, especially with energetic grappling and some neat moves that stand out. For example, at the end where Navarre rolls towards Marquet to avoid the coup de grace, immediately rolls back on top of the blade to strip it from his enemy's grasp, and then uses it to inflict inertial impalement. This was deliberate, depicting the fighting as more realistic, brutish and forceful.

 Ladyhawke / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Though it saved Navarre, the only reason Isabeau was shot was that Philippe threw a rock at the guard, causing him to accidentally fire into the air. Philippe wrecks his own escape from prison by bragging about it in a local town. If he had kept his mouth shut until he was far away in another country, he might have gotten away effortlessly. Marquet even lampshades it to his face.

The bells do ring, and Imperius apologizes to Isabeau, presumably for killing her. No, he was apologizing because he couldn't go through with it and was going to doom her to a half-life as a hawk.

Dude Magnet: Just about every male character in the story finds Isabeau the most beautiful woman they've ever seen—and this is definitely not a good thing, since this includes the Yandere Bishop. Philippe freely admits to Navarre that he's had fantasies about her, but also is aware Navarre's the only one she's interested in.

Shapeshifting Heals Wounds
 Ladyhawke / int_9854688f
comment
Shapeshifting Heals Wounds: Left ambiguous, but it seems that non-lethal injuries don't transfer from the animal to the human bodies, and/or that the body not in use will heal while 'idle'. When Isabeau is shot as a hawk, for example, the injury transfers to her human self because the bolt is still in her breast, but after it is removed during the night, her hawk form shows no injuries the next morning. In the book, it takes several days and nights for Isabeau to heal, with Navarre, and his wolf form, waiting nearby, even though the wolf doesn't know the exact reason why they were waiting.

Greater-Scope Villain: Downplayed. Satan most definitely exists in this setting, as the curse upon the lovers is the result of the Bishop making a deal with him. However, he never appears, there's no danger of him making another curse or affecting the heroes in any way, and defeating him isn't on anyone's radar.

Artistic License – Religion
 Ladyhawke / int_a27c0c2c
comment
Artistic License – Religion: Imperius is described as a monk, but his background reveals he used to take confessions. In real life, a monk has not taken Holy Orders and thus cannot take confessions - he would need to be a priest to be able to hear confession and give absolution. Of course, it is possible to be both a monk and a priest, but you would be more likely to refer to yourself as a priest in the same way that someone with credentials as both a paralegal and a lawyer would probably not mention the paralegal part. However, this might be intentional, as Imperius is revealed to have become The Atoner for committing the crime of betraying secrets of the confessional, which hints he was previously a priest and renounced his vows and became a monk to repent, as it was done in the time and setting.

Oh, Crap!: The Bishop remains calm and stoic even when Navarre confronts him, knowing he can't be killed or the curse will be impossible to break. When Navarre explains to him that Isabeau is dead and his insurance is useless, his face turns chalk-white within seconds. When he sees Isabeau herself, alive and well, behind Navarre, he seems close to fainting.

Intellectual Animal: Averted. Navarre and Isabeau are an actual wolf and an actual hawk respectively when transformed, not a man and a woman in animal bodies. While they seem to have some awareness of each other, they don't have human minds nor do they remember as humans what they did as animals. Wolf!Navarre has enough presence of mind to save Philippe from a farmer trying to kill him (or at least spare Philippe after the farmer's dead), but doesn't understand Philippe is trying to save him when he's drowning and brutally mauls him.

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: According to Imperius's description of the curse, neither Navarre nor Isabeau are aware of their human selves while in animal form; Navarre, in particular, is quite vicious. However, even in animal form, each of the pair is quick to attack anyone who threatens the other, though there are hints their animal forms are having some influence on their personalities. Navarre is impatient and quick to violence, while even Isabeau has a moment where she chases a rabbit as if she could capture it with her bare hands.

comment
Cassandra Truth: Navarre doesn't believe Imperius when he says the curse can be broken, because he thinks of the man as a betrayer (and a drunkard) Nobody believes Philippe, admittedly with reason. This leads to mild Cringe Comedy when he and Imperius try to support each other. Also, he tells the truth to some evil guards and is still in trouble: At the end of Philippe's and Isabeau's near-capture at the monastery:

Hoist by His Own Petard: The wolf hunter dies when Isabeau shoves him headfirst into his own trap. It's not a quick death, either. Marquet, who pushed one of his own men onto Navarre's sword for greeting Navarre as 'Captain', ultimately dies by falling onto Navarre's sword.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Ladyhawke / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: At one point, Navarre flips out at Philippe for supposedly losing his sword. He gets called out first by Mouse, who tells him he's being selfish with his fixation on revenge, but he doesn't really snap out of it until he sees the cuts all over Philippe's chest — which he inflicted, in wolf form, when Philippe saved his life.

Living MacGuffin: The bishop really wants Isabeau. In a way, the bishop himself is one. As much as Navarre wants to kill him he must be kept alive if the curse is to be broken: the Curse Escape Clause requires him seeing both Navarre and Isabeau's human forms at the same time. Once the curse is broken, however, all bets are off.

Know When to Fold 'Em
 Ladyhawke / int_e16cd24e
comment
Know When to Fold 'Em: A mild example, but there are times when the regular guards, despite their orders from the Bishop, decide to not fight Navarre. While some may have done it out of lingering loyalty to their former captain, others were no doubt acting from sheer self-preservation. A particularly funny example is when a guard sees Navarre charge toward him with his BFS and visibly decides it's time to make for the hills.

Lying to Protect Your Feelings: Phillippe tells Navarre and Isabeau that their lover told him incredibly romantic feelings to convey to the other. They didn't, but Phillippe correctly guessed their true feelings, so the sentiment both had for each other was real; it strongly hinted that they had trouble expressing love for each other before the curse.
