CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Deckard (Harrison Ford) shoots Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) in the back as she crashes through storefront windows.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this futuristic science fiction drama, two firms are both on the working overtime to see who can be first to perfect a new and groundbreaking invention -- a technology that can perfectly recreate human tissue, allowing people to be replicated at will. One of the companies is a small, cutting-edge concern, while the other is a major multinational conglomerate, and in a world where such companies control the legal and judicial system (hey, are you sure this is science fiction?), beating them to the punch can have deadly consequences. The larger firm sends a team of thugs to destroy the smaller company's offices, just as inventor Ludo (Michael St. Gerard) is using himself as a guinea pig for his final tests on the replication system; things go haywire during the assault, and soon Ludo finds himself chasing his own manmade evil twin. Replikator also stars Ned Beatty, Brigitte Bako, and Ilona Staller, the latter better known as Cicciolina, the Italian adult film star who was elected to that nation's Parliament.

Blade Runner is one of those movies that looks more and more like the present every year.
You can say that, but the central, fundamental premise of the story is light-years from being reality. It could be 500 more years (or much longer) before we have the technology to construct sentient, organic androids, and by that distant point the surrounding society and culture would probably be radically different from what's portrayed in Blade Runner.
The sci-fi genre in literature has been around for more than a century now, and we've still yet to see a seminal work that wasn't later made to look totally naive when the time that was predicted came to pass. The flaw is that the writers/creators of sci-fi *always* seem to hugely underestimate how long it'll actually take us to reach a point of technology on the level that they conceive of.
CognizantCheddar it also depends on how the trajectory for scientific goals changes over time. for instance, back in the 60s during the space race 2001 came out. if culture had kept its same love for advancement in space travel this entire time rather then loosing interest, i guarantee we would have easily had 2001 level technology by the actual year 2001. (other then HAL of course)
Mark Carchidi
That's a good point. It depends on where you look. We've also seen many sci-fi works that look totally naive now in hugely underestimating certain progress, not all of it technological. Endless nuclear apocalypse scenarios never came to pass when, almost entirely unforeseen, the Eastern Bloc and the Soviet Union fell apart in the span of a few years. We also didn't wipe out so many species that we had to grow synthetic ones. There are plenty of real owls and snakes around, there's been no pressure to make them.
Much ink has been spilled about how 'off' sci-fi predictions have been, and yet the ones that got all the attention were the flashy space travel predictions of the 50s and 60s. Yet more subtle yet arguably more profound changes than bigger rockets have taken place. Who remembers H.G. Wells' 'Worldbrain' idea of 1920 where everyone would have access to a global encyclopedia? Likewise, not a single writer saw the Internet coming, except perhaps Clarke or Asimov in a vaguely conceived way.
Computing in general has advanced far beyond many predictions, such as Star Trek's tricorders, which look like toys now. Silly scenarios like HAL never came true, but maybe that's a good thing...
No it doesn't.
I think it does, regarding the ethical issues surrounding transhumanism and artificial intelligence, which are very much on the road to today.
This scene is simply stunning...the music, atmosphere and the cinematography are just beyond words
I now nave/had VHS, DVD, BR and probably watched 20x overall. Easily my favorite movie.
You can definitely see similarities to "Cowboy Bebop". I'm comfortable to say that it got some influence from this movie. You're right: great music, atmosphere and the cinematography.
Uck Youf
Maybe not the music, but everything else is.
Conor Stack the music is great. very atmospheric
Unbelievable there are actually people who do not like the beautiful music of Blade Runner ... thats the world we live in sadly ...
Vangelis did a phenomenal job. The atmosphere of the film was priceless
Of course he did. He's Vangelis. :) Check out some of his other music and you will see what I mean.
I enjoyed Vangelis's earlier works too but by far his crowning achievement is what he did for Blade Runner ...In terms of his other movie works (like his earlier stuffs like Conquest of Paradise), they are still highly listenable ... but Blade Runner is on a totally different level, Vangelis even quoted that he did not want to do the music for the Blade Runner sequel because he felt he would not be able to top what he did in the first movie. You can see how much the music on BR means to him, he specially made new tracks for the one of the release of the soundtracks many years after its theatrical release , and those new tracks are just as astounding ... he poured his heart and soul into the movie until there's no more left he can give ...
tall32guy Yeah, Chariots Of Fire is another incredible, perfectly timed and fitting soundtrack from Vangelis.
Yes I ordered the sound track beautiful sound
YES IT MADE IT INTO A SCI FI NOIR
This came out in 1982, remember that. Ridley Scott is an astounding visionary.
fernando sojo nobody cares stupid pirate
Also, this scene was recreated for the 2007 Final Cut: they got Joanna Cassidy to come back & redo it because in the orig scene it was really easy to see the stuntwoman's face & the wig she was wearing. They did something similar for the scene where Deckard talks to the snake peddler to fix the bad dubbing.
+Tom Trinchera
Thats because Ridley Scott is a perfectionist, the main thing is that he cares deeply about this movie to keep trying to make it better ... ALL movies have weak flaws and illogical stuffs in them, even the most acclaimed movies do too .. most of BR's flaws in its original theatrical version are due to the financiers' meddling due to insecurity, not due to the director .. Ridley Scott is a perfectionist from what I know and thats the first thing you would notice of a true artist, they care deeply about their art and are not trying to pull a quick smart alecky trick ..
@Zoned 247 He used to creative in the 1970s and 1980s. But alas, he has lost his way, and descended into artistic vacuum like a lot of directors from his era, and today.
Westworld came out in 1973, the 70s and the 80s were an amazing era for sci-fi.
The shot of Deckard standing in the midst of the lights with the “snow” falling is absolutely beautiful.
After shooting a woman in the back multiple times? The "snow" was beautiful though!
@@georgehenderson7783
Deckard is equally emotionally affected by his shooting of Zhora ... notice he's not exactly feeling proud of what he's done, he's shocked at the display of emotional struggle Zhora showed during death and notices Zhora's tear rolling down her cheek .. he's no longer sure if its the right thing to kill replicants like that ...
@@88feji Yes, in the movie, Deckerd tells us he doesn't feel too good about shooting a woman in the back.
I agree! ❤❤
This movie aged really well, despite of how 80s it is.
The atmosphere is fantastic
J. The Perverted Summoner welcome to retro futurism.
+J. The Perverted Summoner
"despite" ?
The 80s is way ahead of all the decades that came after it, musically, creatively and artistically speaking ..
88feji he's referring to how cheesy 80s special affects and acting is.
The 80s aged the worst out of all the decades in the 20th century.
I can not believe that this movie was made in 1982
The first time I saw this, the mood of the scene led me to believe Deckard had "retired" a human by mistake.
I love it, Deckard's not really a hero is he. He shoots this woman who running for her life and memories. That's the best part though is when he looks at her you can see for a second he feels empathy. Compared with the twist at the end the question is does he acknowledge it, or ignore it? This movie was too ahead of its time, apprently
I was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow...
The replicants which he was hunting were all part of a terrorist cell, though. Not all innocent and had killed a lot of humans. Even if they weren't killers, they were still knowingly living on Earth which was highly illegal.
Samoutuomas
One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. It is never shown that they are terrorists. It is only being told by a major corporation that these replicants are evil. Is it a trustworthy source? Yes, they do commit murder in the movie. And while murder is obviously is not a good thing, you could say they seek revenge. But I don't share you view on terrorists. These androids/clones are slaves, fighting for their freedom and a way to extend their short lifespan. They are running scared, while being hunted by ruthless hunter.
An Dre
Well yeah, I wasn't saying otherwise. Rebels always have a cause (heh). But there's always two sides to every argument.
Samoutuomas "With" or "against" is purely a matter of perspective; the matter of whether you're with or against isn't always your own decision.
i don't now why, but i actually really like that gunshot sound effect :)
OrganismoPerfecto I agree. In fact there is a whole subculture of people that make designs of that pistol.
Hooded Stranger Well this gun itself is a combination of a rifle receiver and a revolver. The rifle receiver with two triggers is the Steyr-Mannlicher Model SL .222 and the revolver portion is a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Mag Detective. I have some experience with shooting pistols and rifles and it does not sound to me like a pistol sound, even a big .44 mag. It sounds like the deeper sound of a rifle blast with the distinct revolver click of a double action trigger added to it just before it fires and futuristic bullet zip added just after.
The sound effect of the gun shot is way better than the ones in the cuts prior to it. Sounds more powerful.
I agree, its the addition of the trigger mechanism sound that adds to it.
If I remember right - it sounded almost the same but without the trigger/hammer action sound.
The original sound effect for Deckard's PKD-M2019 Detective Special is pretty much the same as in the new director's cut, just with the added trigger mechanism. The PKD-M2019 doesn't use a magazine, it actually has an automatic eight-shot revolving cylinder similar to a magnum revolver, only without a hammer mechanism. It probably fires caseless rounds like the M-41A pulse rifle.
How in the hell... if I didn't know, I wouldn't have had a clue this was shot in 1982. I mean this looks like it was shot at around 2010. In fact I've seen a lot of movies from the early 2000s that don't appear to be this advanced looking. I don't know how to explain it. I guess it looks... shiny?
I know aye bro it does have that kinda 2010 look compared to all the other movies in the 80s.
Ze Doctor The Look was changed for the Final Cut, so i think that explains it ;)
This is The Final Cut from 2007 so the quality has been augmented slightly, but even still, it looks totally ahead of its time. You would think this was five years old
Seriously? She was wearing a see through rain coat and underwear. There's even a guy who's been dead since the 90s; beyond that I can't see anything else that screams 2010! Unless we're talking about the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey; which coincidentally also came out in 82.
Ze Doctor I know what you mean this movie doesn't seem like it was shot in 1982 the hair styles the clothing don't look indicative of the time I guess that's what makes it timeless
The bullet wounds on her back make her look like an angel whose wings were violently shorn off. Recall Roy’s speech about the rebellious angels being cast out of Heaven, into the pits of Hell. “Fiery the angels fell, thunder rolled around their shores, burning with the fires of Orc."
I agree, also that scene of Roy descending the elevator after killing Tyrell looks like he's a fallen angel descending to hell.
This is in my top 10 scenes of all time, amazing cinematography.
This has to be one of the most beautiful death scenes in film history. Actually most of the death scenes in this movie are pretty amazing. Pris' death is utterly horrifying and then of course there's Roy's "Tears in Rain" scene, which is probably one of the most moving speeches in cinema history.
+aquagrl63 Yes, the entire movie really made sure to make the deaths impactful. I guess since a big part of the movie was asking what it means to be alive, death had to be something that is not flippant.
+aquagrl63: It was at this moment in "Blade Runner," Zhora's summary execution, when I started to reassess who were supposed to be the film's good guys,and who were its bad guys. Replicants were, after all, genetically cloned humans who were used as slave labor. And much like our own U.S. Constitution allowed for slaves to be counted at 3/5's of a man, the law in "Blade Runner" defined replicants as less than human, that they were nothing more than disposable commodities to be "retired" when they no longer served their master's purpose. The story is incredibly deep on a philosophical level.
Tyrell's death is poetic, ironic (the creator killed by his creation), biblical and really horrifying to watch too ..
The shuttle crew was part of the system using them as slaves.
@@donaldkoelper5807 " U.S. Constitution allowed for slaves to be counted at 3/5's of a man" That only in some of the US states that had that as their own laws. Slaves being counted as that didn't come until later.
the most beautiful looking film of the 20th century
mc_macapaca I find it really hard to choose between this or Apocalypse Now
either way, 2 fantastic films
+Aaron Lynch
I think you have to give it to Blade Runner over Apocalypse Now simply because the world in Blade Runner is mostly artistically rendered painstakingly from scratch by great artists, practical effects wizards and the imaginative aesthetics of Ridley Scott (many of the real pre-existing set locations are actually quite boring looking in real life) while Apocalypse Now's world is simply a "lights, camera and shoot" thing where they only have to scout for great locations without having to artistically render most of the sceneries ..
The making of doc Dangerous Days just shows what an extraordinary, ground-breaking film this is. Of course So now has Hearts of Darkness making of documentary nut Blade runner edges it for me.
Don't forget "The Hunger" with Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie.
I don't know who did the set design for this movie, but whoever it was, I want them to design a house for me
Syd Mead, did the initial concept illustration for the film. Per Ridley Scott’s direction
+ 666kingdrummer oh yes please
666kingdrummer So you want a house of glass?
Neon lights are beautiful ...
That poor business owner. Like ten of his windows got broken in one night, he's gonna be pissed when he turns up to open the shop in the morning!
He probably has replicant insurance.
Krugman would say that this will increase GDP
And at the looting as well. Imagine having to explain to the insurance company that a cop shot a robot through your windows.
Well what can he do about it, file a complaint against the blade runner? Too bad it wasn’t bullet proof
@@MustafaKulleIt's probably a pretty common thing to occur in this setting, it's not like our time.
Am I the only one who loves the music in the background makes the scene better in my opinion
Damage 1738 it's called bladerunner blues
Ur not the only one I also think Vangelis did one hell of a job
Commencement at the obedience academy - aesop rock
Anyone who watched this movie has this opinion.
Sure, yeah you are the only one!!!
Deckard shot first.
+Try Whistling This I see what you did there.
👌 I like it
Nathan Farley Give me memes, fucker.
tecnically no. The first person to shoot was the Replicant who killed his interviewer
In the special edition the replicant shot first.
the sign CLEARLY said don't walk....Zhorra.
anth benit maybe this is the punishment for jaywalking in this universe
lol
so much sensory stuff to relate to in this scene; the rain, steam/smoke in the streets, the broken glass, the "snow" in the store, all the glowing neon, and the music that wraps it all together. absolutely gorgeous
Oh and don’t forget, the best audio element of the movie and best audial portrayal of a dystopia to date:

ridley scott is truly one of the masters of cinema
everything second, every single shot of that movie is a masterpiece of art . it s unbelievable
astro farhi completely agree! This is one of my favorite scenes from any movie, Ridley Scott is a master film maker!
The scene works so well, because it took such a stark contrasting position on what one might think of from violence in an action movie. The death is sad. The protagonist immediately feels guilt. There's no high attached to the loss, only a prevailing feeling that this isn't the right thing to do. Works marvelously.
Great film noir. Ford was amazing in it. This is supposed to be 2019 Los Angeles - they got the Atari part wrong.
and the weather
anon That was intentional - that LA would become so polluted by 2019 that the climate would change and make it a dark and rainy place.
+paktype I'm sure they almost wish that would've happened at this point
+paktype Well in the book the story takes place on a fairly deserted Earth which has been scarred by nuclear war. The best of humanity has already left the planet for other worlds leaving behind the lower classes of humanity to remain on the dying planet
+paktype It inspired me to write my own Cyberpunk novel its still in the rough draft phase so I got a ways to go before done
She did not deserve to be shot in the back. Beautiful scene very realistic. 😢😢😢😢😢
This scene I'll always remember from childhood. It's incredibly shot, and almost sad in its tone. I felt bad for her.
Great and powerful scene!
Thats right, I was against the replicants until I saw the way Zhora dies ... I began to feel sympathy for the replicants from this point on due to Zhora's anguished struggles in her last moment ... they way the movie makes you fear the replicants but midway through turns around to make you sympathise for them is really poetic ... its a touch of genius ...
Best cinematography ever
The mannequins are a nice touch in this scene.
I think they were included to make a statement about Zhora, on Ridley's part. Possibly that they are inanimate humanoid objects, like she is herself in a way, as a replicant.
There's something very beautiful about this scene - the sound design for this film alone is something to behold but the visual magic of Zhora's death in particular is stunning. Everything from the pulsing heartbeat in the background to the soundtrack and the slow motion of Zhora falling through the shop windows is incredible. There's something rather tragic about the whole thing. Deckard feels less like a hero and more like a hunter bringing down an innocent deer. Also I'm always engaged by the atmosphere that Scott brings to this film - the artificial snow falling in the foreground as Deckard approaches the lifeless remains of Zhora is so well done. Amazing.
If you read this book this is based off of, her death is even more sad and tragic
When movies are made well, they age well.
When you're shooting on film (and not cgi digital) you had better make sure its done right.....
Just go look at his file The Duelist --- like a painting come to life.
Like a spag bol, made last night to mature in the fridge,
which reminds me,
bye >>>>>
Blade Runner is the best example of neo noir film
Zhora's back wounds remind me of an angel, their wings ripped off. Poetic.
I think it's meant to do that. Definite symbolism.
Aww Leon’s face. So sad.
Wow every thing in this scene is perfect. The dark rainy weather, the sound of the gun, awesome slo mo, and timing of the music.
+superrok420 Also the snow, the glasses shattering...
Yup, lets not forget to mention the shot of Leon looking stunned at the dead corpse of Zhora (maybe she's his lover perhaps ?) ... that single shots is like a dream from an alternative universe ... its sooooo beautiful lensed and poignant ...
This scene has a fantastic mixture of pure badassness and beautiful cinematography topped off with the movies ominous score.
I remember this Zhora death scene is the first instance in the movie where I began to sympathise with the replicants ... the music combined with the anguished expression in her struggle to survive really touches a nerve... and that little tear that rolls down her cheek when she lay dead on the ground, I truely felt the pure power of cinema at that moment in time ...
Most badass gun sound in film
The sheer beauty of this scene actually made me shed tears.
I actually almost cried too when watching this scene as a young boy ... Zhora's emotional expressions during her struggle to survive stirred something inside me ...
This is such a pretty scene, the visuals with the music, her running through broken glass, all the blurred colors, its beautiful.
Goddamned one man slaughterhouse. Deckard should have embraced the cold-blooded killing machine he was.
I get why Ford wasn't so into going back to Han Solo one more time after portraying Indiana Jones and Rick Deckard back-to-back. This is such a very different role than any others he has played.
But they're all these men who live for themselves in dangerous professions. Bounty hunting, tomb raiding, and space ship piloting. All badass. But they're all the so called "bad men" the scoundrels and outlaws and hired guns and adventurers and thrill seekers who have some moral conflict ions from time to time. Cept dr. Jones. He's just a pinnacle of virtue
Don't walk, don't walk, don't walk, don't walk, don't walk, don't walk, don't walk . . . cross now, cross now, cross now, cross now, cross now, cross now, cross now.
What did she do to deserve this.. Just being a replicant?
That shot of Leon looking on in horror is amazing.
Its like a cinematographer's dream isn't it ?
There's even that perfectly placed lens glare to add a special touch of atmospheric mood to the already beautifully lensed scene .. this is a totally sublime scene ...
Brion was such a phenomenal actor, you can feel his despair just by the way he looks at the camera from a distance.
I love the way they make it so it seems like a killing of an helpless innocent person who just wants to stay alive. I like how, instead of a typical adrenaline filled/action scene, they make it focus on the feeling theme of the movie. Great directing.
The music,environment,vibes,impressions all of it were out of its generation
Powerful iconic scene gives me chills every time.
Blade Runner, perfect film, perfect acting, perfect setting, perfect story, perfect novel, perfect visual, perfect soundtrack, IT'S JUST PERFECT!
The camera that they used for Blade Runner is ahead of its time. These movie feels like it was just released yesterday.
I saw this scene in a movie theater when I was 16 year old. I can't think of the right words, but at 0:26 Zhora looks like a butterfly in a chrysalis with that plastic rain coat on. And then Deckard shoots her in the back. She's stronger, faster, and probably could've killed him easily but she was running away. And for the remainder of the scene, she does not die well. I remember thinking, what an ugly kill. I know he was doing his job, but it's such a goddamn ugly kill. I felt bad for her here.
When she started to crash through the glass and the "Blade Runner Blues" score kicked in, it was just utterly beautiful despite she was just being gunned down in the street
And the death scene is an armed man killing an unarmed female who is partially nude.
Still my favourite movie ever, the atmosphere, the music, the cinematography, it's just sublime
"The report would read routine retirement of a replicant, but that didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back."
This scene is just masterfully done, and completely mesmerising. One of the best parts of the film.
Vangelis' score and the cinematography are what make this scene for me.
The saddest scene in the movie. :(
I feel so sorry for the replicants, they just wanted more time to live. :(
Let's be honest this movie is based off of Hong Kong or Shanghai hai or Tokyo. This is what all Asian cities look and feel like.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing scenes i have ever seen...
Being a Sci-Fi nerd, this scene is one of my favorite examples of Neo Noir. The music, the cinematography, the production design, and the acting is nearly flawless. Blade Runner is arguably my favorite Science Fiction film of all time with Back to the Future being right behind it.
If only 2049 was this amazing
Sadly, far from it ...
This scene could make you cry without ever even seeing the movie
to resilientambition: not to get all philosophical on you but the scene is a microcosm of the human condition....Zhorra represents humanity and Deckard represents the ultimate fate that awaits us all....but the film still holds out hope for humanity..which is why I enjoy the film so much..if you want to discuss this or the movie further let me know..
The song that plays, do you have any idea what it is called and where I can get it?
lewisbmth I'm pretty sure the song in this scene is 'Blade Runner Blues' by Vangelis from the soundtrack
It just stuck with me, seeing this as a boy , his look of regret after he retired her, realized he was doing the wrong thing, no matter if its his job
This is one of the best scenes in the cinema history imo. The slowmo and the music from Vangelis hits me real good. Everything matches so bloody perfect.
that scene is sad. I remember my mother commenting on how cruel it was. what do you guys think? I never understood the movie at that age, but I might appreciate it now that I'm older.
Me trying to kill a Net Runner in Night City.
Hhahaha was looking for cyberpunk comments
The very best movie ever made. About people born to lose. World Trade Center is reopening. And on the streets . . . try to invite someone home. They might be able to want to have a friend in their time on Earth.
This film does not look like it was shot in 1982.
It was DEFINITELY ahead of it's time...
The most beautiful death scene I've ever watch.
best scene.beautyful lightning and soundtrack
if only cyberpunk 2077 was more like blade runner
I love that second shot. The blade runner pistol is still the coolest Hollywood firearm. Many will say the pulse rifle, but they're wrong.
damn movies had a soul back then
Hahaha very true
Am I the only one who is actually putting a lot of promise in Blade Runner 2?
I would love to be optimistic, but I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Classic films rebooted on
the shoulders of Hollywood. I watched masterpieces of cinema glitter off of 3D glasses in the dark. All those films will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die.
It's the Prisoners/Sicario director so I'm sure it will be awesome
Blade Runner 2 does have an amazingly talented director who could absolutely capture the looks and vibe of Blade Runner in a sequel. The cast holds promise, and the story has been cooking long enough to be something that holds water.
You're not alone.
I'm not optimistic. I'm expecting it to be a cgi action fest like minority report. Hope I'm wrong though
+DaClems Mad Max Fury Road? That came thirty years after Beyond Thunderdome and recaptured the greatness of the first three films. Planet of the Apes is another one. And Star Wars. Sequels and reboots can be done well, they just need to be put in the right hands. Hopefully Blade Runner 2 is.
The stunning quality of the film almost makes you forget its brutal violence. Unlike slasher films, the deaths here are drawn out, agonizing and very personal.
I think for Zhora's death, the movie emphasize the sadness aspect more than the brutality of it .. which is critical at that point in the movie, because its from this point on that audiences begin to doubt their support for Deckard in his hunt for the replicants, when you see so much emotional struggle in Zhora's death you begin to feel sympathy for the replicants, that they may not be as cold or inhuman as you think...
Loudest frikkin handgun I've ever heard in a movie. Sounds like a howitzer.
44excalibur it's supposed to fire 5.56 rounds like an m16 so That's why.
@@battaglino77 Sounds nothing like a 5.56 it sounds like a shotgun haha. Such an awesome sound.
@@battaglino77 No it doesn't. They sound a lot different, a lot 'sharper'.
one of the best movies of all time
the blu ray version of this is superior
Cinamatic masterpiece anyone with me one this
My god, the cinematography in this film looks impressive and stunning.
In a parallel universe, Schwarzenegger plays the lead role and right before the fatal shot says, "You're retired."
almost was a consideration.
Thats basically Total Recall, which is hilarious because Total Recall was written by the same author
After much thought and revisiting some old favourites, I would have say this movie is probably tied with Alien as my all time favourite
Deckard Shoots With His Pistol 🔫 0:40 0:44 0:49 1:15
Beautiful and brutal. Beauty and the beast...shes both!
Harrison Ford plays this brilliantly I think, as a replicant himself, Deckard is aware he is developing emotions and is no longer suitable for the job, Deckard's pleas to his boss at the start of the film fall on deaf ears and you can see he is struggling throughout the film to contain his newly developing emotions. Interesting film about future cybernetic intelligence.
People should appreciate that Blade Runner is not only about Roy Batty's tears in rain speech or the dazzling shots of LA but its jam packed with astoundingly surreal and beautiful scenes like this Zhora's death (and the scenes in Deckard's apartment, Tyrell's majestic abode, the dystopian rainy foggy streets, Pris's horrific death, etc) .. not a single frame is not breath-taking in this movie and the music and sound just immerses and dissolves your mind right into its world ...
The whole Tyrell killing scene is also a masterpiece.
My mind is pretty dark and I love rain, unlike many other people. I'm also a fan of dystopian and futuristic sci-fi movies, art, comics etc. so Blade Runner is like the picture I've got in my mind of my dream world. Call me crazy if you want, but I just love everything about it and every time I watch the movie I am stunned.
Atari in the future? They sure got that wrong.
***** Barely. Definitely not enough to have a huge building in metropolis with a light up sign
+Random Guy From Texas Dude....we're talking about the biggest gaming console of the 80's! That is why the movie made it into a big deal and a big corporation like company....all because of how popular it thought it was going to be. Guess what...Nintendo killed it. Atari now is only co-developing games and introducing retro gaming consoles. That's it. Those are the facts.
Atari still exist, not Commodore nor Amstrad
not in this future they didnt
Despite the fact that the name is still around today, it's not the company it once was. It was one of the highest profile victims of the "Blade Runner Curse."
I like his pistol. It has no recoil at all.
Esta secuencia combina escenas de 1982 y de 2007.
La versión original mostraba a una doble que no se parecía en nada a Johanna Cassidy. Ridley Scott le pìdió a ella que la filmaran sin un doble para provocar más verosmilitud a la escena.
Quedó PERFECT.
In some films, there's a special moment you realise that the one who is supposed to be the good guy... actually isn't.
Patrick Bateman Hard to say, since Roy and his group were responsible for killing the passengers and crew of the ship that took them to earth. Whether Zhora took part in that or not is debatable, but her replicant role was in a "Murder Squad" before she met Roy. It's okay to fight for life and survival, unless it's at the expense of others.
Patrick Bateman
Deckard was the good guy. He just wasn't perfect.
Patrick Bateman There isn't really a "good guy". The replicants are murderous and lack empathy but their motives make them sympathetic and their grievances are legitimate. Deckard meanwhile is "just doing his job". He doesn't like replicants but he doesn't hate them either. He's apathetic and feels no guilt about the things he does. At least not at first. You could argue that his saving Rachael at the end of the movie shows that he's grown as a character.
+William Wilczak Can you imagine being designed to live for only 4 years and being forced into slavery for all your life. I think they have the right to be a little pissed off at the people who made them. And Deckard is the real hypocrite who chases them down and kills them like their machines and then goes home and falls in love with another one.
Nathanael Marklew
As far as I know, he's killing confirmed murderers. If the Replicants were totally innocent, then I could see there being more ambiguity over Deckard's actions.
I love how the music kicks in with a heartbeat and as the music fades, so does the heartbeat. True genius from Vangelis.
November, 2019 is now, and still there are no flying cars, how many more years?
Best soundtrack of all time. Completely sells the movie for what it’s going for
God when Bladerunner blues starts playing after Deckard missed his first shot you can feel all the emotion. From Zhora's fear trying to get away. To Deckard's expression @ 1:53 Trying a classic
The report will read "routine retirement of a replicant..."
Nov 2019 is blade runner month.
Coming soon!
nice to see the film has reached the attention of younger viewers ( based on the comments).
Phenomenal movie, just a brilliant scene, the music ......wow.
All those mannequins are dressed like Zhora. Just like Batty, she fought to the end for every second of remaining life.
There are so many things wonderful about this scene. What a fantastic movie.
