What movies do you think were derived from blade runner in some ways or more? and what do you think about the movie babalon ad with vin diesal? At the end you see how they took from the terminator,

Wow! Big rip indeed! Looks great though. ;) I'll have to see about getting this. I've seen the trailer before. Just one of those things that gets pushed down the list of priorities. ;)

The TV show "Total Recall 2070" is closer to Blade Runner in its atmosphere, dialogue, etc.

Worth a look.

I see what you mean. The city scenes...Hume's coat...even the "Gaff-like" character driving the police "Spinner-like" vehicle toward the end of the episode posted above! As well as more...but I don't want to give it away. An interesting Blade Runner influenced episode indeed! :wink:


All 22 episodes are also available, ad supported, on the hulu service.

A few years ago, I couldn't sleep and turned on the TV. It was after midnight and my channel surfing landed on this show that looked like a series based on my second-favorite Ridley Scott film. Just the overall mood of the series cries "Blade Runner".

Max pain ,i'll spell it like that because it was almost a pain to watch, except for the rain, i've always loved the rain. Sometimes movies feel like rip offs and sometimes they feel like inspired works of art.
Blade Runner I believe was inspired by many things ,..........death,.life,loneliness in the company of others,being the outstanding one in the mist of a crowd, a search for truth,a key piece that changes a puzzle into a map of life, old black n white movies, the thought of a world gone dark and the thought of hope for a better day ,the increase in techknowledgy that still doesn't make the sun shine any brighter, and a hero that doesn't prevail without losing some blood.
It's a movie that should be incased in bullet proof glass. 8)

The snow ruins the mood. We don't get snow in LA. We've had hailstorms on occasion but no snow. Except in the mountains. And those snowy forests look distinctly European.

Another thing: ever notice that Universal Music Group deliberately puts up shoddy encodes of their music videos? Sound was fubar and the picture was pixillating all over the place. They all look like crap.
