My favourite scene from Bladerunner. This along with 2001, had deeply profound effects on my outlook on life.

Roy Batty, having killed Dr. Eldon Tyrell and seen his replicate friends killed, gives his final words to Deckard. A scene perfectly captured by Ridley Scott and Rutger Hauer, in a defining role that he has yet to top. The actual script did not have the "tears in the rain" part, this was improvised by Hauer, Scott liked it so much he ended up leaving it in the film.

Another interesting piece of trivia is when Roy Batty meets Dr. Eldon Tyrell, his odd meld of "father" and "fucker" after he says to Tyrell, "I want more life" is deliberate. Hauer was instructed to pronounce it in such a way that it could be both.

I love this scene too. I didn't know that the "tears in the rain" bit was adlibbed by Hauer. He is a good actor, why did he implode and start doing C grade sci-fi all the time?

Oh he's making a comeback slowly I believe I mean he appears in Merlin, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Sin City, and Batman Begins. All excellent productions.

Though I dobut he will ever top his potrayal of Roy Batty.

I have a bunch of videos with interviews with Phillip K. Dick and what influenced his work. I will try to get those up. Really fascinating life he led.

I hope the new release of the Blade Runner - Director's Cut happens soon. The version that is out on DVD now is lacking in any special features let alone alternative cuts of the movie (with and without narration and extra scenes).

The original Blade Runner had a crappy voice over by Ford, which he also hated doing and hoped would be left out. The altered version does away with the narration, adds the unicorn scene during the piano squence which only adds more mystery to whether Deckard was a replicant or not.

6 up votes only for the Greatest Sci-Fi Movie (next to 2001 of course)...

Tsk.

One of the greatest scenes ever. Oh, and I don't really understand why you're talking about interviews with Philip K. Dick as if Blade Runner was somehow his creation. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" was about how machines are inherently evil and could never be indistinguishable from humans, whereas the theme of the movie "Blade Runner" is that sometimes machines can be "more human than human." The story and the movie are polar opposites.

I think I'm one of the few people on earth who preferred the original cut, with the narration and the happy ending.

When I first went to see it, I saw two of my high school friends walking out as I was walking in. They said they hated it. "You never see the sun" said one of them.

I think, in a way, their dislike of the film made me love it all the more.

I like how it gets sunny for the 1st time in the entire movie - right at the end.

Ditto, Rougy (the noir fan in me have a soft spot for voiceovers...)

I like both versions though - it's my all time favourite movie.

personally i think this is one of the worst movies I've seen, I'm not really into deep stuff like this, i couldn't stand the music and there was a very dug in plot and story line that was extremely hard for the average person to detect. my dad made me watch it with him and i got three quarters through and couldn't watch anymore of it. But then again i don't like a lot of stuff from the 80's. after telling him i couldn't take it anymore i promptly went out to my garage to work on my camaro and watch monk. lol i couldn't help it. this movie just ain't my cup of tea.
