For me, Roy is the best character of the movie by far. And the most interesting that he is in fact more human than the humans, exactly like Tyrrell Corporation motto. He is dangerous, feels love, hate and angry, but still is smart, funny, spiritous... as Deckard, Bryant and others never was. An outstanding performance from Rutger Hauer. He would deservers an Academy Award for this.
The movie was amazing. The story, the acting. What a great casting job. Some of the best actors all together doing this film. Lightening in a bottle. I love this movie. With all that being said. Rutger’s character, Roy. That performance left a mark.
I was a 7 year old kid on a caravan holiday in Great Yarmouth in 83 and me and my family went into a small shop and i saw a Blade Runner comic story book of the film, i was obsessed with it and asked my mother weather i could have it to read, she refused as i was only 7 years old and it seemed a bit adult for a kid. I constantly bugged both her and my father and my persistent paid off as i got the book and payed with my pocket money. I loved it, lost count of how many times i read it in that caravan or in the car. It was spot on to what happened in the film. Even back then as a child, i understood Roy and the replicants and wished Deckard could help them in some way rather than track and kill them. The final where Roy chases Deckard and saves him actually nearly made me cry as i knew Roy was dying and his body was seizing, he wss afraid of losing his life just as he seemed to enjoy it and not be a slave, he just wanted to live longer, he also was quite jealous of humans that had the right to live life and he and the others were designed as slaves for humans bidding. Very very good film, excellent story its up there in my top 3 films of all time just for the gift of the message from the film. R.I.P Rutger you are badly missed :(
Great comment. This movie is my all time favorite. I own both movies now of course. His performance really made me change through the movie. I was very sad that he was dying as he did his famous monologue. It moved me. Exceptional performance.
Ford has never confirmed that his character Decker was a replicant just like his counterpart Roy Batty, but in recent interviews he has opened the debate that Decker might had been one as well. If this was true, the final scene on the death of Batty, is probably one of the best lines in movie history, just to imagine one machine is talking to another machine about dying. Sublime.
I love the way Rutger Hauer thinks about the situation of the replicant and his lack of history, where does he come from? Rutger and Harrison made an okay movie with some thought provoking themes into a seminal work of film though this scene. So many millions of fans havd praised its authenticity and power. The film serves up some dark questions for humanity. Our obsession with consumption and our over reliance on the material world 🌎 are addressed by this movie. Most of all the replicants or androids show much more tenderness and humanity than the humans do! Humanity and the natural world are truly dead in this picture, which is why its so sad 😞 and fundamentally deversating! Rip 🙏 Rutger hauer, tears 😢 in rain 🌧
Rutger Hauer R.I.P... *_BLADE RUNNER RULES..._*

I completely agree! I think it should’ve ended this way: Roy lives and gets together with Rachel 😂
I just assumed that he had got one... !
The fact that just himself came up with that final sentence makes the actor ,not only the character ,a legend .
The cartoonist Rutger mentioned is Enki Bilal
He was so gorgeous.

RUTGER IS THE GOAT VILLIAN
Ironic a brief thought in his trailer made Roy and Rutger unforgettable. More than any planning Scott could muster.
Oh my god Rutger must have been something to see.
Considering Bryan Fury us my favorite Tekken character, I need to see this movie.

Okay movie?
@@themessenger2948 no its a sensational film and very thought provoking
Pigeon is the true villain of this movie
@@goneja757 I love unusual takes-and that was an unusual take.
It's interesting that Scott mentionned Bilal, because the final look of Blade Runner is nothing like Enki Bilal....
More like Moebius, though I think there are parallels in their work.
It's too bad Rutger wasn't cast in 2049 as an even more improved Roy using the initial version's genetic code and reanimated by Wallace.
