Happy ending in the spinner

How exactly have the happy ending been shot? Was it just in a spinner cockpit model and then the background was layered ?

It was shot on location. :D "The Spinner" was on a flatbed of a truck whilst traveling.

nice one... Actually I don't think the scene is rubbish. Till this day I have just seen the DC Version. The one on the deleted scenes archive where Rachel is telling "you and I where made for each other" is my prefered version of the happy ending.

It's not on youtube.com?

It's on Disk 4 of the multi-disc Blade Runner box sets. It's under Deleted Scenes.
Yes, I really live in Los Angeles. Srsly. And yeah, life really does imitate art here. Especially now we've got those video billboards. No spinners yet. But I suppose that's next.

It appears that despite all the construction; only one vehicle interior set was ever built!

Look carefully at the scenes where Deckard calls Sebastian's building. The car Deckard is sitting in is not his own car -as seen from the outside, but a Spinner!

Ah, that version. That's the version that makes me piss myself laughing.

Some of the extra landscape stuff was outtake footage from The Shining.

Isn't that shot and the unicorn sequence the ones they keep denying were leftovers?

The final arial shots of the wooded landscape in the theatical cuts, were taken from outtakes from 'The Shining", Because the filmed shots did not come out well enough for Ridley...according to the Dangerous Days doc, and new DVD set, as well as Future Noir. The unicorn sequence is NOT from 'Legend'. That is a myth

The bird's eye shots of Deckard and Rachel driving are clearly his sedan, not the flying spinner. Which is strange since we get the impression that the Shining outtakes are from Deckard's POV. The sedan can't fly of course....

Well, we can now discount Future Noir as any reliable source.

After watching out takes and commentaries it is clear:

-Sammon admits to bumbling on the set which caused delays in production (and probably more costs).

-The revelation of the Worldcon blaster disputes his description of the gun. If someone who was actually on the set gets information wrong while there, how reliable can he be in retrospect??

This kind of clumsy behavior is a pattern and all information becomes suspect.

I think Futur Noir needs to be re-researched, especially now that a ton of new material has never been examined.

I would like to see a De Laurika book myself.

You're attacking the writer of the "BR Bible"? You do realize you're discounting all the other work of his in the book, right?

Future Noir isn't reliable, eh? Oh God, does that mean Paul Sammon isn't a replicant? Nuts, I always thought he was one...

And Charlie DID write a book, it's called "Dangerous Days: The Making of Blade Runner".

What do you mean by leftovers?

I was wondering how long it would take you to respond, deleted. Oh, and thanks for saying what I was thinking. 8)

"De Laurika"...do you mean de Lauzirika, or is this someone else?

I don't think I am ready to throw out the baby with the bathwater yet. Pretty much all history was written by human beings and therefore flawed to some degree. I agree we can't always take every word for Gospel, even if it is the BR Bible. It is always a good idea to take different sources and compare that information to get at the truth, and that is exactly what I did. I take all information with a grain of salt, some needs more salt than others, and yours needs quite a bit if you haven't figured out yet Masao.
