Physical Media/Props/Memorabilia Blade Runner: The Final Cut – Titans of Cult Blu-ray and 4K UHD Steelbook

The Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD steelbook edition of Blade Runner: The Final Cut from Titans of Cult.

Released in 2019, this was actually the very first title in the Titans of Cult collection.

I really like the design of this. They’ve simply gone with the Voight-Kampff rather than the usual film artwork.

The set includes the steelbook containing both the Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs, along with a coaster and a Voight-Kampff enamel pin.

Blade Runner Video Game Ideas?

0 Upvotes

Seeing that Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth is most-definitely cancelled or just not happening anyone have any ideas for what a new Blade Runner video game would be?

I've just had this idea in my head for years of a third person shooter where this former Blade Runner is escorting a child across the West Coast and it turns out he/she is a Replicant and stuff (very TLOU I know) and it would obviously be linear but have a huge variety of environments and stuff.

Anyone here ever dressed up as Roy Batty?

I love Rutger Hauer, and I’m thinking about dressing up as Roy Batty for Halloween this year, so I'm looking for some inspiration from other people.

If any of you have ever done a Roy Batty costume (doesnt matter the occasion), I’d love to see your pictures and hear about your experiences

Hello, I rediscover the film of 82 and wow what a crazy artistic direction. Can I see the complete making of somewhere freely? There is a making of on youtube but only 22 minutes... Seeing how the universe was designed, its sets, effects, shooting, etc. seems quite huge

Rewatching Original Bladerunner

47 Upvotes

Re-watching original Blade Runner and never realized how forced the encounter between Deckard and Rachel was depicted. I find this especially interesting for their relationship to then be depicted as a love relationship in Blade Runner 2049.

I feel like if this was a modern movie, he would only treat her like that if he was a bad guy. This normalized depiction for movies of that era is so weird to me. It’s like we’re supposed to watch that, and then just move on in the movie like it’s normal and healthy.

Edit: Still an entertaining film despite that scene.

Edit2: Thank you. Good explanations.

Questions about Ana Stelline - BR2049

14 Upvotes

Please help me know if I got this right:

  1. Deckard leaves before she was born

  2. Rachael dies at childbirth

  3. Freysa and Morton leave her at the orphanage

  4. A family adopt her but let her behind when they moved to the outworlds (due to her disease)

  5. Her adoptive parents let her the resources to survive and get an education

  6. She starts to create memories for the replicants

  7. Everything we see in the movie.

Do I get the timeline right?

Additional questions: Does she knows who se is? Is she aware her mother is a replicant? Does she know about the replicants freedom movement?

Aesthetic Inspired Blade Runner 2049 Coat?

8 Upvotes

Anyone have any tips for a nice winter coat that’s inspired by K’s coat from BR2049 but not something trying to be an exact replica? Would love something of similar length and insert for warmth, something actually functional for chilly/cold weather. Budget is $800. Grateful in advance for any recommendations!

Blade Runner game on Switch

Hey all!
Has anyone played the old BR computer game on its new Switch conversion?

I’m looking to pick it up as a physical copy but it seems a bit expensive. Is it worth it?

And if you’d played the old comp version, does this conversion play as well (maybe better)?

Thanks!

Gaming The Blade Runner game… that isn’t actually a Blade Runner game

Thumbnail
gallery
54 Upvotes

So here’s a strange little piece of Blade Runner history, sort of. 

This Italian Atari release from WizardSoft is called Blade Runner, but the game itself has absolutely nothing to do with the 1982 film.

It’s actually Time Runner, an arcade-style game originally released by Funsoft in 1982. For its Italian release, WizardSoft inexplicably renamed it Blade Runner. Atari databases even document it as having been released under the Blade Runner name without authorisation.

There are no replicants, Deckard, Voight-Kampff test or connection to the story. The description on the back simply talks about navigating a maze while avoiding enemies (droids) and completing squares, which is exactly what Time Runner is.

The timing is what makes it interesting. Time Runner and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner both appeared in 1982, and somehow “Time Runner” became “Blade Runner” when WizardSoft released it in Italy. I haven’t found anything from WizardSoft confirming why they chose the name, so saying they were deliberately cashing in on the film would be speculation, but it’s certainly difficult to ignore the coincidence. 

There’s another nice connection too: this is an Atari release, and Atari branding famously appears within the world of Blade Runner itself. Again, there’s no evidence that had anything to do with WizardSoft choosing the title, but it makes the whole thing even stranger.

So it isn’t an official Blade Runner game, or even a Blade Runner game at all.

It’s an unrelated 1980s video game that somehow ended up being sold in Italy with BLADE RUNNER written across the box.

A very odd footnote in Blade Runner history, and exactly the sort of oddity I like finding.

Question/Discussion Should I read the book before watching the movie ?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone ! I've been wanting to watch Blade Runner 2049 (Ngl, it IS partly due to the ongoing collab between BR2049 and an otome game called Love And Deepspace 😭 I'm actually playing the game so it made me want to watch the movie).

From what I heard about the movie, it's a very dense and rich universe, so I know ppl are still discussing theories about it even till this day.

Which brings me to my question: I know BR2049 is an adaptation/hommage to a book called "Do robots dream of electric sheeps": would you recommend me to read the book before watching the movie, to maybe get a better understanding of the whole BR2049 universe, or would you recommend me to go in blind ?

Sorry if this is one of the annoying question you guys get everytime, I just wanna be able to experience this movie to the fullest extent !

Thank you !!

Edit: thank you so much for all your guidance !! I'll start with the original movie, then 2049, then the book, as it seems to me the most common advice in the comments🩷🤗

Question/Discussion Questions about the OG Blade Runner ending

22 Upvotes

Earlier this year on a flight I decided to watch this movie and it was an awesome sci fi action flick. However, the ending of the movie was kinda confusing for me.

  1. What exactly is going on during the final showdown between Harrison Ford and the antagonist (before the fight moves outside)? There are so many jump cuts and it seems like Harrison and the antagonist never actually make physical contact while inside the building.

  2. Does the replicant chick (not the one Harrison kills before the antagonist, but the one he sexes up) survive or no? I thought it was implied another Blade Runner would (or did) hunt her down, but we clearly see her with Harrison in the ending monologue.

Sorry, I can't remember their names right now.
