    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Director Sir Ridley Scott regards this movie as probably his most personal and complete movie.
    • Goofs
      (at around 9 mins) When we see Deckard waiting for his noodles, he is reading that day's newspaper. Later in Leon's apartment (at around 25 mins), the same newspaper is seen in one of the drawers, except it is old and soiled, as if it has been there for years. We know they are the same since both newspapers have the same headline about farming on the moon.
    • Quotes

      Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

    • Crazy credits
      In the "happy ending" Theatrical/International cuts, the credits play over the gorgeous scenery. In later Director/Final cuts, they play over a normal black background.
    • Alternate versions
      All U.S video tape releases before January 1993 are the unrated version and contain the extra violence in the Euro-release that's not seen in the 117 minute American theatrical release:
      • When Roy attacks Tyrell we clearly see him pushing his thumbs into Tyrell's eyes, and blood spurting out
      • When Pris (Daryl Hannah) attacks Deckard, she reaches down and grabs him by the nostrils
      • When Deckard shoots Pris, he shoots 3 times instead of 2
      • When Roy pushes the nail through his hand, there is a shot of the nail coming through the skin on the other side.

    A futuristic allegory about the value of life

    OK, I admit...the first time I watched this movie I detested it. But hey, I was 16 years old and had expected an action-packed sci-fi adventure. Blade Runner is not such a film. But I am grateful for this, for after maturing a bit and rewatching the movie a couple of times, I discovered its greatness. It is not a traditional sci-fi movie, it's a touching drama about the value of life and the importance of making the most of what you've got. One of the most important themes in the film is the question of what is more valuable - humans without emotions, or machines with? The film gives no answer - it just opens our eyes and makes us aware that we should be grateful for being alive.

    Some people prefer the Director's Cut, but I like the original version better - mostly because of the wonderful end line: "I didn't know how long we had together. Who does?" That pretty much sums it up.
