motor cycle windshield, skates, cast iron steering device

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.
