Who was Little Pasta?


At the end of the credits, it says “With loving memory to Little Pasta”. I have read somewhere that this was the bird that was used during filming that died. Although, this has been proven untrue because the main bird that was used was a red tailed hawk named Gift, who passed away in 2014 at 35 years of age. There is a mention of another bird named Spike II on IMDB, and it also said that a couple different birds were used for the flying scenes as well as for perching on Rutger Hauer’s arm.

Can anyone positively identify who Little Pasta was?
