    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Philip K. Dick personally approved of Rutger Hauer, describing him as, "the perfect Batty-cold, Aryan, flawless".
    • 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.

    Best movie ever

    Just my personal opinion. Everything is perfect about this movie. I saw the movie the first time when I was 12 and it was mind blowing for me. 38 years later I feel the same about this movie. Timeless and beautiful. For me 10/10 with a star and smile
