      From: lukas.mariman@gmail.com              black (when he's on the       roof).       - Deckard's shirt (not) tucked in when Batty saves him from falling.       - When Deckard releases the dove there are black clouds overhead. In the       next shot the dove flies       toward clear blue skies.       - When the street vendor is examining the snake scale, the serial number she       reads out loud doesn't       match the number on her video screen.              Revealing mistakes:              - When Deckard takes out the VK machine to test Rachel, he mimes the action.       The machine is       already on the table.       - Support cables for spinner.       - Obvious stunt player when Zhora crashes through the glass walls.              Audio/visual unsynchronised:              - Rachael's claim that the owl is real.       - Deckard's conversation with the snake merchant.       - Zhora's wounds appear before the sound of the bullets hitting her.              Miscellaneous:              - The sheet music that Rachael reads does not match the song that she plays       on the piano.       - A hand is visible on Batty's shoulder while he is in the phone booth. This       is a reversed shot from later       in the film when Batty meets Tyrell.              Crew or equipment visible:              - Shadow of a camera crew when Deckard is being chased by Batty through the       Bradbury building.              - The Marquee for the Million Dollar Movie changes. When first seen over       Pris' shoulder as she is       lighting her cigarette, it is unreadable, BUT distinctly different from       later in the scene after JF arrives.                     3. Film Quotes              Rick Deckard:              Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me. Cold fish.       [Quote from the voice-over as heard in the 1982 original release]              Replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard.       If they're a benefit, it's not       my problem.              She's a Replicant, isn't she?              Memories. You're talking about memories!              I've had people walk out on me before, but not when I was being so       charming...              Captain Bryant:              Come on, don't be an asshole, Deckard. I've got four skin-jobs walking the       streets.              Stop right where you are! You know the score, pal. You're not cop, you're       little people.              Chew:              I just do eyes. Just - just eyes. Just genetic design. Just eyes.              Leon Kowalski:              I'm kinda nervous when I take tests.              My mother? Let me tell you about my mother.              Painful to live in fear, isn't it?              Nothing is worse than having an itch you can never scratch.              Wake up! Time to die!              Dr. Eldon Tyrell:              Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. "More human than human" is our motto.       Rachael is an       experiment. Nothing more.              The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. And you have       burned so very very brightly,       Roy.              Rachael:              Do you like our owl?              Have you ever retired a human by mistake?              Is this testing whether I'm a Replicant or a lesbian, Mr Deckard?              I'm not in the business. I am the business.              You know that Voight-Kampff test of yours ... did you ever take that test       yourself?              J. F. Sebastian:              I make friends. They're toys. My friends are toys. I make them. It's a       hobby.              Roy Batty:              If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes.              Fiery the angels fell; deep thunder roared around their shores; burning at       the fires of Orc.              I want more life, fucker.              I've done questionable things. ... Nothing the god of bio-mechanics wouldn't       let you in heaven for.              I thought you were supposed to be good. Aren't you the good man? Come on!       Oh, Deckard! Show me       ... what you're made of.              Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a       slave!              I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the       shoulder of Orion. I watched       C-beams ... glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate. All those ... moments       will be lost ... in time, like       tears ... in rain. Time ... to die.              Gaff:              Lòfasz nehogy mar. Te vagy a Blade ... Blade Runner.       [Cityspeak-Hungarian-ish: "Don't be a horse's       dick." OR "Don't dick around with me." - "You are the Blade ... Blade       Runner."]              You've done a man's job, sir!              It's too bad she won't live. But then again who does?              Taffey Lewis:              Hey, Louie. The man is dry. Give him one on the house, okay. See ya.              Zhora:              Are you for real?              Pris:              I think, Sebastian, therefore I am.       Then we're stupid, and we'll die.                     4. References to BR in other movies              It seems BR has inspired a lot of other films - in terms of architecture &       set design - and so much so       that every time a new SF movie is made, it is inevitably compared to BR. It       would take too long to list       every movie that (consciously or not) copied BR's look, but sometimes other       "parts" of BR turn up in       other films. Here are a couple of notable examples...              Back To The Future Part II              Some of the cars Marty encounters in the future version of his home town are       repainted spinners from       BR.              Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace              There were a lot of visual in-jokes in the 1999 Star Wars movie. During the       outdoor scenes on the       planet Coruscant there are a couple of BR spinners flying around amidst the       heavy traffic. They're       hard to spot, though, even if you know where to look.              Trancers              The car seen in the opening scene is the very same vehicle Deckard drove in       BR! (Cool, huh?)                     5. References to BR in Music              Artists: White Zombie       Album: "Supersexy Swingin' Sounds" (1996)       Track: "More Human Than Human"              Lyrics:              I am the astro-       Creep a demolition       Style hell american       Freak - I am the       Crawling dead - a       Phantom in a box       Shadow in your       Head say acid       Suicide freedom       Of the blast read       The fucker lies -       Scratch off the -       Broken skin - tear       Into my heart make       Me do it again yeah              More Human Than Human              I am the jigsaw       Man I turn the       World around       With a skeleton hand say -       I am electric head a cannibal core a       Television said       Yeah do not victimize       Read the mother       Fucker-psychoholic lies -       Into a psychic war I       Tear my soul       Apart and I       Eat it some more              More Human Than Human              I am the ripper       Man a locomotion       Mind love american       Style yeah I am       The nexus one I       Want more life       Fucker I ain't       Done - yeah              More Human Than Human                     Artists: Pop Will Eat Itself              This band often samples the movie "Blade Runner"; the song "Wake Up! Time to       Die..." is built around       that quote from the film.                     Artists: Revolting Cocks              "We Shall Cleanse the World" from the album "Big Sexyland" is based on, and       contains samples from       the movie "The Omega Man." "Attack Ships on Fire" is on the same album, but       the only SF connection       seems to be the title.                     Artists: The Stranglers              The album "The Gospel According to the Meninblack" is about a race of people       from another planet       that is raising humans on Earth for their food. Considering there are over       5 billion people now, they       should be very happy. The Meninblack are first introduced in the song       "Meninblack" on the album       "The Raven". See also "Rockit to the Moon", a B-side. There's also a song,       "Time to Die" which              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
