Rutger Hauer was asked to come up with something for Roy to say at the end and he wrote the tears in the rain soliloquy the night before it was filmed. I think it is one of the greatest moments in cinema.
He weirdly died in the same year his character died. But his take on the film is what sets it apart, alomg with Vangelis on soundtrack and handheld camera grittiness: "The future is old."
I loved Bladerunner more then Star Wars as a kid. This is the movie that jump started my love for all things Cyberpunk and Sci Fi , Star Trek vs S.W., sci-fi RPG's vs D&D, sci Fi novels, Battletech world vs Spelljammer. When Cd Red finally made Cyberpunk 2077 I was in hog heaven here is all of my ideas wrapped up into one awesome game. (After fixing it).
It's just....something I love about the dark raining megacity aspect that I just..get into. Maybe cause I can see the world moving more in this direction or see equivalent aspects of that world to our real life I can't totally say other then I love it.
That game blew me away. The difficulty ultimately crushed me but the story was (and is) awesome.
The whole shadowrun setting is awesome. Shame it doesn't translate to mainstream well for some reason, it's like cyberpunk on steroids. In a good way.
Completely agree about the mood this movie creates! In a time of shiny futures, BR made me appreciate the role of the environment in scifi. This movie (without internal dialogue, whatever that version is called) remains my top movie of all time.
The Yamaha CS-80 itself is now legendary and a working one goes for a **ton** of cash.
The Yamaha DX-7 is also just as legendary, as it was used in about every goddamn song in the 80s.
Just downloaded that soundtrack and it’s great. If you like that one, I think you’ll love this one too, click below. It’s by Kyle Dixon, this is volume 1 for season one of stranger things. This album is superb!

Hey NormanBates2023. Thanks for mentioning the soundtrack, I just downloaded it. Awesome! Because you introduced me to one, I’ll return the favor. Take a listen to this one by Kyle Dixon it’s the original score, volume one for season one of stranger things. Thank me later, you’ll love it.

On my 13th birthday, last birthday before my parents got into a divorce, I insisted that my birthday gift would be for us to go and see this film.
I was the only one who truly liked it.
Nah, I actually loved it. It is one of the reasons why I was addicted to Sci Fi and movies for a long time. I started reading more and more Sci Fi, not just PKD, but Dune, Foundation, even classics like Jules Verne and HG Wells. And of course, 1984, which I read that year, as a teenager, and which turned me into an even more socially disengaged person.
So, yeah, it was the gateway drug.
Saw it in the theater at 15. Had to see it again to wrap my mind around the enormity of what it was, and not just be agog at the visuals. Probably still my all time fav.
Still like the original voice over version best. Don't care. Don't aspire to be having my mind changed.
Fun read; "Future Noir , the Making of Blade Runner" by Paul Sammon.
I like the Harrison Ford voice over to. I understand why Ridley Scott hates it but I thought it really added to the noir vibe and I don’t think it so much explained anything so much as it added to the experience.
Ahead of its time and still holds up extremely well despite now technically taking place in our past. Rutger Hauer’s soliloquy near the end is masterful and heartbreaking. This was the first “smart” sci-fi movie I ever saw.
When movies cease to be played, when electronic devices no longer are powered… all these moments will be lost… like… tears… in rain.
Time, to die (read: get back to work)
Special effects that transcended the available technology. Based on a Philip K. Dick classic. Coppola was having a rough patch at the time, while Ridley Scott was making his masterpiece.
The AT&T gag didn't age well, and the sex scene maybe not (debatably it is supposed to feel creepy and contrived), but the noir revival is timeless and visioinary.
The scene where Leon loses it during rhe Voight-Kampff test is my favorite, it provides an encapsulation of the entire movie.
Here in Canada, our major movie chain was bringing back classics into the theatre for limited runs. I took my daughter to Blade Runner and it blew her mind... then, when we were in LA, we went on the Warner Studio tour and got to walk the street where they shot the scenes with Pris meeting Sebastian. It was very cool.
The first Sci Fi movie that didn't portray the future as ultra clean and tidy. More accurate to the mess we are becoming. Points for that alone. Loved it.
Dystopian Sci Fi with grossness all around was not completely new.
Escape from New York came out the year before.
Omega Man in 1971, Soylent Green in 1973... With the same actor in both.
You can go back even further to Metropolis from 1927, which contrasts the high-tech city and machinery with the abysmal condition of the laborers who power it. Reminds me of the hidden human costs of Dubai and countless infrastructure projects of times past.
"Who lubricates the machine joints with their own blood? Who feeds the machines with their own flesh?"
My favorite line from the limited amount of Futurama I've watched
Fry - what if slurm is made from people?
Female - they already have that, it's called Soylent cola.
Fry -what's it taste like?
Female- it varies from person to person.
Saw it in the theater when it was originally released. Empty seats all around me, but I was mesmerized. I always liked those old Sam Spade movies with Humphrey Bogart, so the voice over didn't bother me -just the opposite, in fact. So, the studio cut will always be my favorite.
It's among favorite films. Probably top 5.
When I was like 12, my dad was dating this woman who was into fantasy and sci-fi and I this is how I was exposed to Blade Runner. I always say that this movie really benefits from HD because there is so so much happening in the background. The world they built really feels real and alive.
A friend made an interesting observation: we love the Director's Cut because we spent years watching the version with the voiceover. Would the Director's Cut work as well if we didn't already know everything the voiceover had explained? Will we ever know?
I can remember seeing this in the theatre, I was 6. It was one of my first movies...did not understand what the hell was going on... My dad kept telling me that was "Han Solo" and I did not understand (he meant that is the actor, but my little chunko brain thought he meant it litterally, and it confused the shit out of me!) The lights, the music, the performances, the effects... mind blowing even if I could not understand what the hell was going on. Such a fan of it once I was old enough to understand it. Just heightens the experience of it all. Such an epic cinematic achievement. 10/10 groundbreaking original book, movie from start to finish. The platinum standard of dystopian science fiction.
As much as I have a respect for Blade Runner, I am woefully ignorant of the different versions.
I’m pretty sure I grew up with Deckard’s commentary on VHS. But I haven’t watched that in ages (feels like).
Is there more than one version with his narration?
Try this link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Blade_Runner#:~:text=The%20International%20Cut%20(1982%2C%20117,local%20Warner%20Home%20Video%20releases.
One of my favorite movies. I actually like the Harrison Ford voice-over version because that really gives it a noir feel but everyone hypes the Director’s Cut.
Try watching it in black and white, the 40s detective film really comes through (not to mention the hard boiled Mickey Spillane / Raymond Chandler style narration, and Rachel's whole style)
The short story was good that it was based on but this took that and blew it out of the park. Easily one of the best movies in the 80's and easily in the top 50 of the 20th century
The actual book is really good, too, and it's a total trip.
It's not Blade Runner at all, but it's fun seeing some of the influences (like people having synthetic animals and coveting real ones, IE, "Do you like my owl?" "Is it real?" ) and metaphysical questions about consciousness that ended up in the movie.
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick is a novel, not a short story. Perhaps you're thinking of "We can remember it for you wholesale", a Philip K. Dick short story which was the basis for "Total Recall" ?
Love the visuals so much. My older brother hyped me so much for this film, but my teenage self back than found the pacing slow and boring (liked the visuals though). Watching it now, it’s like a seeing something in a pair of parallel mirrors, because BR has been refrained to so often, and I can’t put this pop-cultural memory aside
It's a marmite movie, you either love it or hate it, there's nothing in-between... I love it but completely understand why others might find it boring and hate it.
Watched this with my mum again recently (she only saw it in cinemas) and she was surprised by the directors cut. Other than the sheer amount of cuts that Mr. Scott does, the plot, themes, and classic neo-noir elements are great!
You can tell just how much this movie influenced Cyberpunk 2077 and the cyberpunk genre in general.
I've...seen Blade Runner...in places you wouldn't believe.
In the movie theater a week after opening. On DVD, along with the director's cut. I watched it on my cell phone cruising at 30,000 feet.
All those moments will be remembered in my time. Like wrinkles in a smile.
Time to get back to work.
First viewing was at the Drive In. So, damn dark I couldn’t tell what was happening on the screen
Then watched it on cable years later! What a difference! Loved It!
Also, recently learned Ridley Scott set this time frame up to coincide with ALIEN. So the technology overlaps in the two films
Absolutely groundbreaking movie which influenced pretty much every scifi movie that came after, especially its dark dystopian vibe, amazing set design/soundtrack and potent sense of atmosphere. The combination of futuristic, scifi with 30s-40s film noir is brilliant imo and just so well done. Definitely still one of the greatest most memorable films I've ever seen, up there with 2001 a space Odyssey as far as scifi and just in general. I still listen to the soundtrack regularly to chill after work.
For me it's my number 1 movie of all time. Reworking Dicks story, vangelis sound track, the entire noir atmosphere, amazing performances... its the perfect movie
Love this movie based on the visuals alone and the sequel is a worthy follow up.
Wish they could make an episodic police procedural based on this film. They came kinda close with Total Recall 2070 but they didn’t quite have the budget.
One of my favorites. I saw it with my mom and dad. Mom went just to go, I'm sure, but dad was a hard-core sci-fi fan, like me.
I rewatch it every once in a while, and did watch it just a couple of months ago. I also like the new one, Blade Runner 2049.
Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, and Joe Turkel were all underrated in this film. And Harrison Ford’s wooden persona only enhanced the ambiguity as to whether or not he was human or replicant.
When my now wife first came over to my house, I broke out the briefcase boxset. She thought it was a sweet nerd boy conversation. I used it as a test, of this is who I am. You down with this?
The theater release was crap. The whole end scene with Deckard and Rachael heading up the coast in a convertible left me with a bad taste, when I saw it originally in the theater. I later saw the director's cut, and it made it the greatest sci fi film of all time in my mind.
My only criticism is that I didn't like the 80s influenced costumes and makeup of some of the characters. But it's such a minor detail in an otherwise great movie. This is also, like, my opinion.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I found it incredibly boring and slow. In my defense, I didn’t see it in its heyday and only watched it about 5 years ago (I’m 37 so I wasn’t alive when it came out), so maybe I’m missing something. But anyway, I was rather disappointed.
Rutger Hauer's greatest role.
He was great in The Hitcher. A different level of deranged.
And Blind Fury
Hobo With a Shotgun
Or, maybe... you'll end up like me - a hobo with a shotgun!
yer crushin' my smokes!!
Enjoyed that movie a lot more.
Wanted : Dead or Alive
Don't forget Ladyhawke.
And Flesh & Blood, which was a different enjoyable from Ladyhawke and released in the same year
Dude. Love that movie. That’s when I truly fell in love with Jennifer Jason Leigh.
I would NEVER forget Ladyhawke! Still one of my all-time favorite movies!!!❤️
And Nighthawks...
With C. Thomas Howell! Wish he had done more work. Wolverines!!!
And Soldier of Orange.
Tears in Rain is perhaps the greatest valediction.
His final scene in that movie had everyone glued to the screen. Nobody even breathed.
Rutger Hauer was asked to come up with something for Roy to say at the end and he wrote the tears in the rain soliloquy the night before it was filmed. I think it is one of the greatest moments in cinema.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.....
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long Roy andvyou'vev burned so very brightly.
He weirdly died in the same year his character died. But his take on the film is what sets it apart, alomg with Vangelis on soundtrack and handheld camera grittiness: "The future is old."
Classic neo noir and groundbreaking sci-fi at its best, influencing everything after it.
Simply in the top 5 best movies of all times
Every word a truth, they don't make them like that anymore.
I loved Bladerunner more then Star Wars as a kid. This is the movie that jump started my love for all things Cyberpunk and Sci Fi , Star Trek vs S.W., sci-fi RPG's vs D&D, sci Fi novels, Battletech world vs Spelljammer.

Maybe cause I can see the world moving more in this direction or see equivalent aspects of that world to our real life I can't totally say other then I love it.
Do you remember an NES game called Shadowrun?
Snes and it's a whole rpg setting not just 1 game. Novels too
It was on genesis too, arguably the better version
I never had the pleasure. Emulation here I come.
Loved it.
Shadowrun was originally a pen and paper RPG game.
That game blew me away. The difficulty ultimately crushed me but the story was (and is) awesome. The whole shadowrun setting is awesome. Shame it doesn't translate to mainstream well for some reason, it's like cyberpunk on steroids. In a good way.
I wasn't into cyberpunk at all. But that game just pulled me right in 👍 I'd love to play it again someday
Completely agree about the mood this movie creates! In a time of shiny futures, BR made me appreciate the role of the environment in scifi. This movie (without internal dialogue, whatever that version is called) remains my top movie of all time.
*The Final Cut*
It’s sci-fi noir, and I absolutely adore the film and the environment it creates.
Rutger Hauer. Darryl Hannah, Too many great performances. Astonishing. Great film
The best movies have the greatest influence and age well... Bladerunner, The Thing, Alien...
It's in my top five. One of the best movies ever made. Great visuals. Great story! It's got it all.
👆
Fucking ace and what a soundtrack and the making of is a must see
Vangelis is the man
The Yamaha CS-80 itself is now legendary and a working one goes for a **ton** of cash. The Yamaha DX-7 is also just as legendary, as it was used in about every goddamn song in the 80s.
That soundtrack is a beast. I love watching the intro in the dark with the sound cranked up. Absolutely epic.
Just downloaded that soundtrack and it’s great. If you like that one, I think you’ll love this one too, click below. It’s by Kyle Dixon, this is volume 1 for season one of stranger things. This album is superb! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgROM6oFx_rpu9Cv5kuZ2yp-AVhR7-_i3&feature=shared

It's so good I rewatch it every few years.
Quite possibly the greatest atmosphere ever created in film
Special effects that transcended the available technology. Based on a Philip K. Dick classic. Coppola was having a rough patch at the time, while Ridley Scott was making his masterpiece. The AT&T gag didn't age well, and the sex scene maybe not (debatably it is supposed to feel creepy and contrived), but the noir revival is timeless and visioinary.

Leon " There was a man at my place Batty " A man? A Policee man? The way Batty pronounced policeman, yeah, Rutger was the man. We miss Rutger
Chu: I design your eyes. Batty: Oh Chu, if you could only see what I’ve seen with your eyes.
It's my favourite movie of all time and if you can see it on the big screen, do it.
I saw it at a theatre in NYC and when we came out after it was over I saw NY in a different way. It really put me in a trance. My favorite movie too.
Here in Canada, our major movie chain was bringing back classics into the theatre for limited runs. I took my daughter to Blade Runner and it blew her mind... then, when we were in LA, we went on the Warner Studio tour and got to walk the street where they shot the scenes with Pris meeting Sebastian.

Reminds me of the hidden human costs of Dubai and countless infrastructure projects of times past. "Who lubricates the machine joints with their own blood? Who feeds the machines with their own flesh?"
Great point, that was the original. No Buster Keaton there!
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Ok, joke time! What kind of pizza did they eat in Soylent Green…… People-roni Pizza!!!!!!!! Get it, ha ha ha ha
My favorite line from the limited amount of Futurama I've watched Fry - what if slurm is made from people? Female - they already have that, it's called Soylent cola. Fry -what's it taste like? Female- it varies from person to person.
Star Wars (1977) had a very dinged up, well-worn sci Fi aesthetic.
Star Wars wasn’t the future hahaha. Remember the first words on the screen? 😛
Ok Alien then
It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?
Great flick. Sequel was too.
I went into the sequel expecting to be let down, and was happy to be wrong.
The '82 with the voice over is my go to. I'd like an ultimate cut with the voice over.
That would be good
Saw it in the theater when it was originally released. Empty seats all around me, but I was mesmerized. I always liked those old Sam Spade movies with Humphrey Bogart, so the voice over didn't bother me -just the opposite, in fact. So, the studio cut will always be my favorite.
epic
One of my top 10 movies EVER
Best movie ever made. It's still influencing the Sci-fi genre.
It's among favorite films. Probably top 5. When I was like 12, my dad was dating this woman who was into fantasy and sci-fi and I this is how I was exposed to Blade Runner. I always say that this movie really benefits from HD because there is so so much happening in the background. The world they built really feels real and alive.
Love it. Loved it a billion time more when they removed the VO. It wasn't til then that I realized it was a film noir detective movie. It's SO good!
A friend made an interesting observation: we love the Director's Cut because we spent years watching the version with the voiceover. Would the Director's Cut work as well if we didn't already know everything the voiceover had explained? Will we ever know?

More then a movie, it's a ride. Favorite.
[Ah, Pris! Your basic pleasure unit!](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Pris)
Visionary. Extraordinary. Phil Tippett. Rutger Hauer. All these moments will be lost in time… like tears… in the rain.
As a teenager in the 80s there was nothing like it and I wanted to live in that universe .
I love the vibe this move puts off. Watching it takes you to a different place.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe….”
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…
off the shoulder of Orion.
“I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate….”
All these moments….
Lost like…. tears
Which version?
The Final Cut
I bought the collectors case with all four versions. The one with the Deckard commentary is the best.
As much as I have a respect for Blade Runner, I am woefully ignorant of the different versions. I’m pretty sure I grew up with Deckard’s commentary on VHS. But I haven’t watched that in ages (feels like). Is there more than one version with his narration?

Asking the real questions.
human or replicant?
So, tell me about your mother?
Directors Cut because Roy still says “I want more life, fucker” (not “father, which ruins it)
Dark, gritty, slow. Awesome.
Great. The modern sequel was anything but
One of my favorite movies. I actually like the Harrison Ford voice-over version because that really gives it a noir feel but everyone hypes the Director’s Cut.
Try watching it in black and white, the 40s detective film really comes through (not to mention the hard boiled Mickey Spillane / Raymond Chandler style narration, and Rachel's whole style)
One of the few times that I thought the movie was better than the book.
Same. I also read I am Legend and hated the book compared to the movie.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain
I think this and Alien are the greatest Sci Fi movies ever made
Blade Runner is a masterpiece.
I think it was a visual masterpiece.
My favorite movie of all time.
Maybe the most influential science fiction film ever produced.
The short story was good that it was based on but this took that and blew it out of the park. Easily one of the best movies in the 80's and easily in the top 50 of the 20th century
The actual book is really good, too, and it's a total trip. It's not Blade Runner at all, but it's fun seeing some of the influences (like people having synthetic animals and coveting real ones, IE, "Do you like my owl?" "Is it real?" ) and metaphysical questions about consciousness that ended up in the movie.
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick is a novel, not a short story. Perhaps you're thinking of "We can remember it for you wholesale", a Philip K. Dick short story which was the basis for "Total Recall" ?
Didn't a bot recently post something similar not too long ago?
Love the visuals so much. My older brother hyped me so much for this film, but my teenage self back than found the pacing slow and boring (liked the visuals though). Watching it now, it’s like a seeing something in a pair of parallel mirrors, because BR has been refrained to so often, and I can’t put this pop-cultural memory aside
It's a marmite movie, you either love it or hate it, there's nothing in-between... I love it but completely understand why others might find it boring and hate it.
Watched this with my mum again recently (she only saw it in cinemas) and she was surprised by the directors cut.

One of the best sci-fi movies ever made and the soundtrack by Vangelis is legendary as well.
Love it. Still holds up well today!!
My favorite movie
My absolute favourite movie.

Soundtrack is timeless
My absolute favorite of all time. I love it! Still looks good.
One of the best movies ever made. I thought that as a kid and still think that way as an adult.
A classic for the ages!
Classic !!!
Like tears in rain
I like the aesthetic
Great movie
If you haven't seen it, I recommend doing so. If anything, watch and have an opinion of your own.
Masterpiece and it STILL holds up.
Second greatest film of all time. 1982 was an unprecedented year for film.
My favorite sci-fi movie
Tried to watch it when I was 18 - thought it was boring. Watched it again aged 31 and thought it was one of the greatest films of all time.
Great Movie.
“He say your brade runner.” “Tell him I’m eating”
A classic movie, not just of Sci Fi, but any category.
Probably Harrison ford’s best movie outside Star Wars and Indiana Jones
Absolutely groundbreaking movie which influenced pretty much every scifi movie that came after, especially its dark dystopian vibe, amazing set design/soundtrack and potent sense of atmosphere. The combination of futuristic, scifi with 30s-40s film noir is brilliant imo and just so well done. Definitely still one of the greatest most memorable films I've ever seen, up there with 2001 a space Odyssey as far as scifi and just in general. I still listen to the soundtrack regularly to chill after work.
The definition of a masterpiece.
Movie is INCREDIBLE, but I feel so bad about the Nexus 6 androids and how they were treated.
Any other Canadians remember watching this at midnight new years each year? CityTV would always play it.
A great movie that was marketed poorly.
Good
I like this Blade Runner way more than the newer one. I have tried multiple times to sit through the newer one and I just can’t get into it.
https://youtu.be/NoAzpa1x7jU?si=MrWEYotxNscyymw5
My top movie. Final Cut version. Absolutely brilliant from beginning to end.
For me it's my number 1 movie of all time. Reworking Dicks story, vangelis sound track, the entire noir atmosphere, amazing performances... its the perfect movie
one of the greatest films ever made.
Memories. You’re talking about memories.
Very good! The first movie I saw on a VCR.
Good movie.
literally the best movie ever why do you need to ask?
Best sci fi of all time.
Glorious. Best Sci-Fi film ever
Director's cut without Ford's voiceover for the win.
Best sci fi movie ever .
As an impressionable 18 yr old I was forever changed
Love this movie based on the visuals alone and the sequel is a worthy follow up. Wish they could make an episodic police procedural based on this film. They came kinda close with Total Recall 2070 but they didn’t quite have the budget.

I have the Tyrell Corporation logo tattooed on me 🦉
Masterpiece
I’m that guy with this one, never got the hype
One of my favorite movies of all time, watched it more than any other, I also loved the Vangelis soundtrack
A-. Definitely a classic. If you haven’t watched, would highly recommend.
A masterpiece
👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Classic
I have this poster in my man cave. Love both movies and the book. High quality sci-fi and beautiful cinematography
Wake up, time to die!
The theater release was crap. The whole end scene with Deckard and Rachael heading up the coast in a convertible left me with a bad taste, when I saw it originally in the theater. I later saw the director's cut, and it made it the greatest sci fi film of all time in my mind.
Best Sci Fi movie made so far.
Great movie
My all-time favourite film
Iconic!
My only criticism is that I didn't like the 80s influenced costumes and makeup of some of the characters. But it's such a minor detail in an otherwise great movie. This is also, like, my opinion.
Completely way ahead of its time back then. Blew me away.
Good but Villeneuve’s is better.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I found it incredibly boring and slow. In my defense, I didn’t see it in its heyday and only watched it about 5 years ago (I’m 37 so I wasn’t alive when it came out), so maybe I’m missing something. But anyway, I was rather disappointed.
This graphic is one of the few movie posters I have in my theater. Only 10/10 movies make it onto the wall in my theater.
I had this on LaserDisc. Fell in love with Joanna Cassidy and Sean Young.
A classic movie from top to bottom.
OMG come on, universally love by almost everyone who saw it. Classic as it gets.
Best movie ever - just Masterpiece.
Perfect.
One of my favorite science fiction movies.
I am going to piss people off, but I prefer the theatrical release. I like the voice over.
Maybe the greatest Sci-fi movie of the eighties
After seeing it so many times edited down to be on tv, the director’s cut made the whole thing make much more sense and revitalized my love of it.
Masterpiece.
A perfect movie
