I mean seriously, considering he was the best he got his ass kicked by every single replicant except Rachel!!!

And she had to save his ass from Leon!!!

Isn't the point of the movie that he was outclassed because he was going against the top of the line Nexus models? You know, the android's "A Team"?

BUt that was his job he was supposed to be best at, a-team or not, and how the hell did two hooker bots become a-team at anything but....hookering? Pris and snake dancer lady were hooker bots....errmm Pleasure Models.


I always suspected it was because his heart wasnt into it becasue he had Rachel feelings and was redefining his view of senitnece and humanity but racist cop had him cornered.

he didn't know he was a replicant himself - his limitations were all in his android mind.

Because he was too busy raiding the lost ark while smuggling in the Millennium Falcon!

What a great movie. What a great story. There are some questions that always make you pause and one of them is whether Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

It's unpossible that someone made a movie that didn't suck out of a Phillip K. Dick novel.

Its funny when a futuristic SciFi movie outdates itself.
Blade Runner is set in 2019, only 7 years from now.
They have flying cars, but their TVs are CRTs and their computers are Commodore 64/Apple II

So in 2019 we have flying cars but we havent advanced to LED technology and anything better than a 8088 microprocessor?

Instead of going from cars to flying cars we are going backwards from cars to bicycles.
