There was another knight movie which also used lots of rock songs. Can’t remember the name but that to me had a bit of a parody effect if I recall right.

I guess, you are referring to A Knight’s Tale with Heath Ledger, that already promoted the movie in the trailer with Queen’s We will Rock You.
In that context Highlander might be worth mentioning as well even though the rock songs are here reserved rather for the modern times scenes.

I saw Ladyhawke in cinema when it came out. Never seen it since. But remember feeling the pop music being ou of place. But after this discussion here I want to watch it again. Maybe in the meantime it feels different. At that time as a relatively fresh film music fan I was of course looking out for something different. But maybe the movie was ahead of its time. I will re-evaluate.
