Storyline

In a cyberpunk vision of the future, man has developed the technology to create replicates, human clones used to serve in the colonies outside Earth but with fixed lifespans. In Los Angeles, 2019, Deckard is a Blade Runner, a cop who specializes in terminating replicates. Originally in retirement, he is forced to re-enter the force when six replicates escape from an off-world colony to Earth. Written by Graeme Roy <gsr@cbmamiga.demon.co.uk>

Did You Know?

Trivia

Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer)'s 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; "fucker" was to be used in the theatrical cut, "father" in all versions of the film for TV. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Deckard performs the Voight-Kampff on Rachael there is a bellow measuring her breathing, yet we do not see Deckard attach it and there was no such apparatus attached to Leon. (The bellows are designed to collect invisible airborne particles emitted from the body, as mentioned in the original 1982 Blade Runner press-kit.) See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Female announcer over intercom: Next subject: Kowalski, Leon. Engineer, waste disposal. File section: New employee, six days.
