What about the brand of roller blade skates?

yeah, my mom has those rollerblades, the bladerunners.

he covered that.

but what about analagous references? anyone remember the film "The Razor's Edge?" - awesome remake in 1984 starring Bill Murray - but the original was made in 1946.

"the path to righteousness is as straight and narrow as the razor's edge..."
it seems the two are getting at the same idea.

i dont know - maybe this has been covered already, but there seems to be some similarity (not in the films, but the suggestive titles). i would even gander that Burroughs (who originally coined the term Blade Runner) read this story and was influenced/borrowed his title from it.
