Lip-Sync

After the lady identifies the scale to be of snake origin, she suggests Deckard should talk to Abdul Hassan. He taps on the window and Hassan waves him in. As we watch them converse through the window, is it me, or is this the worst editing job in BR? Mouths are moving with no dialogue, words are spoken with no lips moving,one man is speaking while the other man's mouth moves...It's very brief but if you've seen the film as many times as I, it's hard to believe The Great Ridley Scott was satisfied slapping some dialogue with some film footage like this. I'm pretty sure every version is the same,too. <BR>Don't get me wrong...It doesn't really take away from the film but, with today's technology, R.S. should tidy-up a bit for the Special Edition. Thanx-just had to get that off of my chest.<BR><BR>_________________<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.quanticdream.com/english/t03.gif" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><!-- BBCode Start --><I><!-- BBCode Start --><B>~GeNe~</B><!-- BBCode End --></I><!-- BBCode End --><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.bladezone.com/3dflag.gif" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Gene Ettix on 2001-12-03 01:16 ]</font>

Buy 'Blade Runner : Future Noir' by Paul Sammon, it explains why this is and, if I remember correctly, tells you what the original dialogue was...<IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"><BR><BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0752807404.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR>_________________<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.deckard.worldonline.co.uk/filez/BR26354.gif" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR>Richard Gunn<BR>News and Content Manager for Bladezone<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="mailto:richardg@bladezone.com">richardg@bladezone.com</A><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Deckard BR26354 on 2001-12-03 07:47 ]</font>

Cheers, Deckard <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"><BR>I was pretty sure this issue had been adressed <!-- BBCode Start --><I>somewhere</I><!-- BBCode End -->.Should o' figured it would be in the "BR Bible". I gotta get this book! The fact that I don't have it yet is amazing to me,but hey... I finally got the Vangelis soundtrack a week or two ago.My BR collection ain't bad,but I really need to get my hands on <!-- BBCode Start --><I>the</I><!-- BBCode End --> 2 books:Future Noir & DADoES.

There are several instances of "lip-flap" in the movie. Abdul and Deckard is particularly bad because you actually end up with the voice of one when the other is clearly speaking.<BR><BR>As mentioned, this is detailed in FN, with original dialogue. It was dubbed in after the Workprint version, which has the original dialogue. Producer interference again. The new dialogue was supposed to be more explanatory, but I don't think it is even that, so a bit of a botch all round and hopefully something to be fixed in the SE.<BR><BR>In the WP, Abdul says he made the snake and after prevaricating, tells Deckard "Snake Pit!" Which was followed by external shot of Deckard outside said bar. So, Taffey Lewis wasn't mentioned, but really, was that confusing? I think not.

I'm surprised that some folks here have not read Future Noir yet? :0 I bought the book way before i got on the internet here and found this website, and I consider myself a moderate fan.Hmmmmmmmmm. If you don't have it , then go get it! it's a very good read! <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> <BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: POLITIKO on 2001-12-03 22:37 ]</font>

<IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif"> D'oh..I don't think Future Noir is a collectible per se...but I understand your point. <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I'm just envious <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

FN isn't a collectible but it is ESSENTIAL!

Dat's right! <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

But, it's not as <!-- BBCode Start --><I>important</I><!-- BBCode End --> as the film <!-- BBCode Start --><I>itself</I><!-- BBCode End -->.<BR><IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Aye, You could be right! <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">
