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 the Tannhaser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die
So basically, if they hadn't wasted $20,000 on an unused prosthetic head they could have gotten a decent wig for Zhora's double and a backup stuntperson for Pris that didn't obviously have balls.
I remember seeing this film when it first came out in a theater...I was in my first year of college. I must say it totally blew my mind and I always knew it really is something special but back then it was very unappreciated and unprecedented. It is now considered one of the greatest sci-fi (or even films) of all time and has gained the respect that it deserves....it is not the typical 'crash' , Boom, action Swartzanegger action film, it's art and its beautiful. It is evocative, challenging, innovative and a certain duality that only the greatest art has...can't wait to see the sequel although I know in my heart of hearts it won't even compare to the freshness and excitement of the original...no matter how much money they spend. But still I feel vindicated because I championed this movie for years and obviously knew a great thing when I saw it
Meh... it had its good points and I have to admit I enjoyed it but it was a disappointment and they failed to realize something that could have been great
i like how everyone always makes deckard out to be this badass guy but in reality he just gets the shit beat out of him the whole movie lol. he only kills one replicant and they even spare his life.... hes just tears in the rain.
Saw the movie in...87 or 88 the first time. I was 11 when it came out. I never heard anyone saying Deckard was a badass, ever. Not in the 80s and never until you said something about it now. If you want 1980s badass, look at Snake Plissken, not Rick Deckard.
Dash Riprock they make him out to be a badass in the trailer for the new one coming out.. everyone I've ever heard talk about it puts him on a pedestal. Get out more bro.
Yes, please make a part 2. Also, do you guys do round tables anymore? Those are really great and the banter between Ti and Clint is priceless. Let me know if you can.
I've grown a little distant from my love of the Blade Runner original movies. Gotten older I guess. There's one thing that always happens that gives me goosebumps... That last scene with Batty and Deckard on the roof in the rain. It's a chilling little speech given before the replicant dies. "Like tears in the rain."
thatsnumberwang100 there was an Easter egg in Prometheus stating that the person who makes replicants in Blade Runner is in competition with Weyland Corp when building synthetics
He already made it. A must watch before 2040. Wich sounds great. I have 2 movies, a book and a short anime about this great universe with watanabe, villeneavue, scott and philip k dick as creative minds behind it
Zero Cool he is exaggerating definitely and 2001 is much more unique than blade runner (as movies like ghost in the shell and ex machina deal with the same topics) although I don't think it is a fair comparison not only 'cause one is a neo-noir and the other is a hard sci-fy but also because they ask different questions. One being "What makes us human?" And the other being "Where do we come from and where do we go?".
Nicolas 1234 Interstellar deals with the same topics as 2001: A Space Odyssey...what's your point? Blade Runner was the first real Cyberpunk movie that dealt with a lot of heavy topics. It is still extremely unique. Ghost in the Shell and Ex Machina deal with the topics but in an entirely different way and Ghost in the Shell is heavily influenced by Blade Runner.
I read the book and yes, the movie is much better. The only thing in the book that survived pretty much unscathed were the questions that Deckard asked Rachel during the Voit-Komph test. Those are there word for word.
Thank you for the insights! Loved it! And 2049 was a great sequel in my opinion. It even shed some more light on the lingering questions about the original. Keep making clips about it all!
A bunch. The book talks about mercerism. A religion. It’s not in the movie at all I think. In the book he works alongside another blade runner I think.
I can't wait for 2049! Really enjoyed the shorts bridging the gap between the original and the sequel and have been devouring the interviews surrounding 2049's release. Cyberpunk/neo noir have been some of my favorite branches of fiction, largely in part to the original Blade Runner and the Shadowrun tabletop games. Please do a part 2, can't get enough :)
I love this gem, everything about it. I can't wait to see the new one too, definitely do a part two, I'm still waiting for your part 2 of The Thing aswell =P
A few bonus facts: 1. William Gibson was working on Neuromancer when he saw Blade Runner. He was worried after seeing it because how the future setting portrayed was how he imagined how the world he imagined in Neuromancer. It also made him worried because he felt that readers would think he was a hack writer and ripping off Blade Runner, it almost leading him to not get the novel published. 2. In one of the cityscape scenes, there are models of the Dark Star (from John Carpenter's Dark Star) and The Millenium Falcon (Star Wars) in the background. Also, one of the buildings seen in the same shot of those two models as actually two pieces from the Tyrell Building model. 3. Part of the reason why gymnasts were used for Pris' scenes was that Daryl Hannah actually injured herself while filming a scene. The scene was where her character meets J.F. Sebastian. When she brushed past him, she ran into the window of his car, breaking it. It was that take of the scene used in the edit, though it was a complete accident. Anyways, she sustained the injury, and the scenes earlier in the film where she flips (such as before she takes the egg out of the boiler when J.F. asks to "see something") difficult for her to do. As a result, the gymnasts were hired to cover the flipping scenes. 4. The Bradbury, used as the location for the J.F.'s apartment building, was also the primary setting for The Outer Limits episode "Demon With A Glass Hand". Blade Runner would be the second time there was a battle involving an artifical lifeform in the building.
Did you guys know it was actually Rutger Hauer's idea to add the ''All these moments will be lost, like tears in the rain'' line? I know right! He added it during a table read of the script!
Wow...there was no CG in blade runner? It looks so good in modern day blue ray I can't even tell that its miniatures. In old Japanese Godzilla movies you can definitely tell the cities are miniatures but it didn't look like that at all in blade runner
It's worth noting that the special effects for the Final Cut version were digitally composited. So no CG, but with the advantage of modern post production techniques.
It means they took all of the original elements they created for the special effects and tranferred them to digital. They then combined the effects using computers. Pre-digital effects were completed using an optical printer, which leads to degredation of the picture with the more passes a shot has to through. To help the movie effects still look good after the anticipated loss of detail created by the printer, they shot the special effects on 70mm film. With this large resolution and no generational loss when combining the effects elements on computer, the special effects look even more astounding than they did when the film was first released. It's worth checking out the behind the scenes documentary on the bluray, there's lots of interesting info there.
There are actually a few CG fixes added to the Final Cut that I just remembered about. They replaced the obvious stunt woman's face during Zhora's death scene. They also replaced Harrison Fords mouth with that of his son in one scene, due to the pretty bad sync work in the original. I think they also did some wire removal for the spinners taking off. Again this is all gone over in the documentary.
When I saw "7 Things You (Probably) Don't Know About Blade Runner" I figured I'd know everyone of them, but like always you manage to throw some things I've never heard of before. Awesome work guys, this channel kills it. As for Blade Runner 2049, I'm pretty sure if anyone can make a worthy successor to the original, it's Denis Villeneuve. Because honestly, what can't he do?
Great video!!! I love Blade Runner❤️❤️ it’s one of my favorite movies!!! Harrison Ford being back and RidleyScott makes me excited about the new movie. The original will always have my heart 😊
2001 is not exactly the average movie, less the typical sci fi blockbuster. See it like watching a sunset o visiting an exotic city from the first time. It's purely an observational movie. It's meant to enjoy and get completely inmersed in the world and the experience. That's why it's that slow, or why in the most tense scenes there's no musical score, and you can only hear the astronaut's breath from inside the helmet. Personally I think that the only way to fully enjoy the movie is to read the novel after watching it.
I'm surprised that there is no mention of the fact that originally Tyrell was a replicant. The real Tyrell was in a statis chamber next to his bedroom, most likely waiting for what ever disease he died of to be cured. Ruger filmed some of this scene (two or three shots at the most), but they dumped it and just decided to make Tyrell human instead. You can see the footage and production art on the Dangerous Days documentary.
I enjoyed Blade Runner and always wondered by it wasn't more of a hit. It was so different than other futuristic science fictions, it stood out uniquely as 2001 Space Odyssey did. There are too many formulaic science fiction movies.
Little coincidence: the movie Paycheck, another PKD adaptation, had a police chase scene. The cop's windshield gets hit by a bar in a tunnel. He's not one of the story's prescient characters but anticipation of broken glass is the only reason he's still got his sunglasses on at that moment. Wonder how many other fashion choices were made for the sake of the stunt doubles over the decades.
I'm beyond excited for this sequel. I will see regardless of what I hear. Plus, it was awesome watching the short films that explain what happened between the two films.
Also, this was a seminal work early on in the 'cyberpunk' genre. It'd be cool to hear from you guys how it fits in with that movement as a whole, including William Gibson's "Neuromancer" and other novels, anime like "Bubblegum Crisis," and, of course, other movies.
5:18 Come on, guys. He wasn't wearing red contact lenses. The Dangerous Days documentary (that you clearly glommed all of this info from) clearly meant that the FOX had ruby red eyes, not Rutger Hauer.
Great stuff.. Blade Runner is in my d.n.a. Ive only heard great things about 2049. Still the original Vangelis soundtrack that was held back for release for what seemed a decade is in my top 3 soundtracks.. Great info on some bits i didn't know
Damn! I've seen all the versions of BR, read Dick's novel, read *Future Noir*, and a couple of years of the news group back in the day, and STILL didn't know any of this stuff. Well done, guys. With all its little flaws and mistakes, it's still a great movie which is obvious from how much it has been written about and discussed over the years. Will be interested in seeing what they do with this sequel. Though since it's really not about the original characters anymore, it's more of a "set in the same world as" type of movie. Harrison Ford is 75 and is showing his age. Sean Young (Rachel) is 58, still a beautiful woman but obviously no longer the stunningly perfect 20-year-old replicant. Edward James Olmos (Gaff) is 70 and Emmet Walsh (Bryant) is 82.
I remember being bored after skipping classes so I bought a ticket just to find a place to nap. I didn't even know what the filn is all about. I was mesmerized from beginning to end having stood in front of the Tannhäuser Gates.
Seriously, dude at Cinefix, this is like the second time you've asked whether we want to see a part two to a movie that obviously needs a part two of Things You Didn't Know. Like, wtf, you obvi know the answer, stop teasin', whatevs
All of the early screenings for 2049 have had nothing but rave reviews.....I'm excited to see it this weekend. Finally a sequel to my all-time favorite film
Cool stuff. I am excited about seeing Blade Runner 2049. From what I've heard from very reliable sources - for me - is that it is not only an excellent film but that it honors the original in all the best ways. Some say it may even snatch an Oscar.
Close Encounters? You missed the most famous re-use of all - ILM re-used the Millennium Falcon model in the wide shots of the cop car driving through gate city with the Coca-Cola advert on the right side of the screen. You even used that shot twice in your video, at 0:10 and 3:53 - without commenting on it!
Best. “Things you didn’t know”. Video. Ever. Even though I already knew three of them, the bonus tidbits made it so the title of the video is still correct.... 😎
1. Of course I'm looking forward to it, and 2. Of COURSE it won't hold a candle to the original. ... Other than by pointing EVERYONE back to watch it again, that is. I guess that's holding up a candle to it pretty well.
What makes Blade Runner great is the is the atmosphere they created . A down to earth scifi that most people can relate to.
This movie was way ahead of its time
Scott Coleman mostly because of Jordan Cronenweth the cinematographer.
Yeah, that's why it was pretty much a bomb when it was first released.
It was OF it's time.
@@rancosteel And the music designer.
Both
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 the Tannhaser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die
The tears in rain part really resonates, and it was ad-libbed by Hauer on camera.
It wasn't ad libbed, but the story is he rewrote the monologue the night before shooting and scott obviously loved it.
So basically, if they hadn't wasted $20,000 on an unused prosthetic head they could have gotten a decent wig for Zhora's double and a backup stuntperson for Pris that didn't obviously have balls.
Zhora's Double would be a great name for an all-girl goth band...
@@CLASSICALFAN100 However, "back-up stunt person for Pris that doesn't have balls" isn't such a good name for a girl-goth band.
smoog hahahahaha just made my day

How was the sequel?
Meh... it had its good points and I have to admit I enjoyed it but it was a disappointment and they failed to realize something that could have been great
@@jonesy2111 what???? It was an incredible sequel. One of the only ones that lived up to the original
I always thought the movie was good but the universe it presented was 10000000000000000 times more interesting cant wait for the next one
the ambiance and score of blade runner is like half the movie, I hope they make those things justice.
L33TBrownGuy same
That's my favorite setting, there are many names to call it, I go by Neo-Noir
Cyberpunk or Cyber Noir
The Blade Runner universe is so fascinating.
i like how everyone always makes deckard out to be this badass guy but in reality he just gets the shit beat out of him the whole movie lol. he only kills one replicant and they even spare his life.... hes just tears in the rain.
MrHeart12 in the book he kills them all though but he still gets his shit beat in
ahhhh ok... ive never read it.
Saw the movie in...87 or 88 the first time. I was 11 when it came out. I never heard anyone saying Deckard was a badass, ever. Not in the 80s and never until you said something about it now. If you want 1980s badass, look at Snake Plissken, not Rick Deckard.
Dash Riprock they make him out to be a badass in the trailer for the new one coming out.. everyone I've ever heard talk about it puts him on a pedestal. Get out more bro.
MrHeart12 I'm pretty sure that's just a side effect of him being played by Harrison Ford
definitly want a part 2. i bet that there are a billion stories about the making of this masterpiece
Favorite movie of all time!
Yes, please make a part 2. Also, do you guys do round tables anymore? Those are really great and the banter between Ti and Clint is priceless. Let me know if you can.

just bought the "Final Cut" on bluray. perfect timing.
Same here. I'm going to be watching it and re-watching it for weeks.
Baby Wolf42 I already had to stop putting it on before bed cause instead of falling asleep I pretty much watch the whole thing every time. haha
Directors cut is best
One fact you missed was alien and Blade Runner exist in the same universe
jake nikolia please go on.
thatsnumberwang100 there was an Easter egg in Prometheus stating that the person who makes replicants in Blade Runner is in competition with Weyland Corp when building synthetics
watched it first time in 2009... and it's been my favorite movie ever since.
OML love this movie
The best science fiction film of all times. If there is a cowboy bebop live action film I hope is like this
Vicente Ortega Rubilar isn't the creator of Cowboy Bebob making a Bladerunner anime set in the 2020's
He already made it. A must watch before 2040. Wich sounds great. I have 2 movies, a book and a short anime about this great universe with watanabe, villeneavue, scott and philip k dick as creative minds behind it

Um, no. Even Ridley Scott says 2001 is the unbeatable sci-fi film.
Yes Cinefix I love you guys! Been watching loads of Blade Runner stuff all day
Are you guys going to do a What's the Difference of Blade Runner and the book?
Some people are going to freak out, but the movie is way better than the book
Alex Dallia, have you read the book? Just asking here.
I read the book and yes, the movie is much better.
The only thing in the book that survived pretty much unscathed were the questions that Deckard asked Rachel during the Voit-Komph test. Those are there word for word.
doom7ish, yes, I'm a big fan of the movie and eventually I read the book, besides, I talked about them during my undergraduate thesis.
Sweet :)
Thank you for the insights! Loved it! And 2049 was a great sequel in my opinion. It even shed some more light on the lingering questions about the original. Keep making clips about it all!
Yes but What’s the Difference?
(Between the book and the movie. You guys need to make that episode)
Please yes that would be great.
There already is a video for that. ruclips.net/video/EUaVVmMt2qg/видео.html
Orlor I want Cinefix to do it, cuz I follow them and I hate ripoffs like CinemaWins.
A bunch. The book talks about mercerism. A religion. It’s not in the movie at all I think. In the book he works alongside another blade runner I think.
The book is veeery different. Only the basic premise is the same (ish).
I'm very excited for it, but I'm waiting 3 weeks to see it with my friend when he comes to visit since he introduced me to Blade Runner.
Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
The massive pillars from the blue room in Legend were also used as decorative pieces as well for exterior and interior shots.
I can't wait for 2049! Really enjoyed the shorts bridging the gap between the original and the sequel and have been devouring the interviews surrounding 2049's release.
Cyberpunk/neo noir have been some of my favorite branches of fiction, largely in part to the original Blade Runner and the Shadowrun tabletop games. Please do a part 2, can't get enough :)
Please I need more blade runner in my life
Awesome video! I'd love to see a part two!
Well, 2049 is now among the best sequels ever made.
Except for the soundtrack though..
Monsieur van Achteren no. Hans zimmer’s score for 2049 is among his best and one of the best of the decade.
Yes. Compared to the original it's nothing special. Zimmer is no Vangelis.
Not sequel, Clone. very little original creative content in 2049
The most boring sequel ever
Do Carpenter's "The Thing"
I'm beyond excited for Blade Runner 2049, Ridley Scott is truly a master of film
I love this gem, everything about it. I can't wait to see the new one too, definitely do a part two, I'm still waiting for your part 2 of The Thing aswell =P
This movie is a masterpiece! Ridley Scott directed it perfectly, the acting is fantastic, the visuals are awesome!
First time I watched I didn't notice Zora suddenly looking different

Varinder Bhandal boohoo so original
Varinder Bhandal i see you are a man of culture as well
choronos read the 2001 novel by Arthur C Clarke you gonna love the extra details
2001 is not exactly the average movie, less the typical sci fi blockbuster. See it like watching a sunset o visiting an exotic city from the first time. It's purely an observational movie. It's meant to enjoy and get completely inmersed in the world and the experience. That's why it's that slow, or why in the most tense scenes there's no musical score, and you can only hear the astronaut's breath from inside the helmet. Personally I think that the only way to fully enjoy the movie is to read the novel after watching it.

360° in a studio! :-)

I read that Rutger Hauer was the look that Anne Rice pictured The Vampire Lestat to look like.
Yes, please do a part 2.
Yes! Please do a part 2.
Cabt wait for BR2046
Me and my friends saw it recently and we were so heated that it ended on a cliffhanger. Such a good film, and can't wait to see the 2nd one.
5:15 dude sounds like Domingo Flamingo haha
LOVE to hear more BR trivia, I AM excited for the new movie, even if it doesn't quite hold a candle to the original!
3rd favorite movie of all time. I have no doubt Denis Villeneuve's sequel will live up to it. Please do a part 2!
Excited and want Part 2 video! Make it bacon!!!
Watching this episode I just found it funny that Rutger Hauer's character in Sin City died the same way as the character he killed in Blade Runner

Rutger Hauer MVP of the movie
Easily. His Baty was more relatable than Ford's Deckard, although I think that's exactly how it was supposed to be.
Obsessed with the original, can't wait to see the new one!
5:18

I remember being bored after skipping classes so I bought a ticket just to find a place to nap. I didn't even know what the filn is all about. I was mesmerized from beginning to end having stood in front of the Tannhäuser Gates.
That video ended way too quickly. Definitely need a part 2. Unlike the actual Blade Runner movie which is fine on its own.
RJ Macready this is the strange case of a sequel which is, although completely unnecessary, by all accounts brilliant
Well, flops don't get sequels. BR made about 5 cents at the box office. So, no part2
@@CLASSICALFAN100 are you talking about the original blade runner? because it does have a sequel.
yes part 2 pls
part 2 please!
Just watched the 4K UHD version of BR it is beautiful!
I have never been more nervous about a sequel. Blade Runner is my favorite film.
Yes, please do another.
hmm no mention of the different cuts of the movie? weird
Most likely covered in "part 2"
Because everyone knows about it. Probably
Yahya exactly.
There's only one cut.
at least three cuts.
Part two please!!!
Seriously, dude at Cinefix, this is like the second time you've asked whether we want to see a part two to a movie that obviously needs a part two of Things You Didn't Know. Like, wtf, you obvi know the answer, stop teasin', whatevs
All of the early screenings for 2049 have had nothing but rave reviews.....I'm excited to see it this weekend. Finally a sequel to my all-time favorite film
Get the 4 versions plus documentary DVD set...well worth a weekend binge!!
Cool stuff. I am excited about seeing Blade Runner 2049. From what I've heard from very reliable sources - for me - is that it is not only an excellent film but that it honors the original in all the best ways. Some say it may even snatch an Oscar.
My love of sci fi began with Blade Runner, great movie.
Close Encounters? You missed the most famous re-use of all - ILM re-used the Millennium Falcon model in the wide shots of the cop car driving through gate city with the Coca-Cola advert on the right side of the screen. You even used that shot twice in your video, at 0:10 and 3:53 - without commenting on it!
Best. “Things you didn’t know”. Video. Ever. Even though I already knew three of them, the bonus tidbits made it so the title of the video is still correct.... 😎
5:20 he looks like doflamingo from one piece 😂
1. Of course I'm looking forward to it, and
2. Of COURSE it won't hold a candle to the original.
... Other than by pointing EVERYONE back to watch it again, that is. I guess that's holding up a candle to it pretty well.
"Won't hold a candle to the original"
Which ever cut that has the narration from the original theatrical release is the best version.
Part two please : )
