Note: Deckers car was supposed to be a old flying car, now downgraded for just street use, with bolt on bumpers on all sides.
Lawrence Paull was the art director of Blade Runner.
Great, thanks.
Small correction: Tyrell’s tomb was part of a cut part of the script where the Tyrell we see in the movie meeting Roy Batty turns out to be a replicant himself. The real Tyrell is dead and buried in the pyramid.
As a teenager in the late 1970s, I was an avid reader/viewer of OMNI magazine. The police vehicle shown in your video reminds me of the prototype car I loved, featured in OMNI magazine called the Vector W2. It was a 1980 concept car. I still need to see Blade Runner. Reminds me a bit of The Fifth Element.
Gib's Corner = William Gibson, an early writer of cyberpunk "sci-fi" at the time with short stories like "Burning Chrome" and "Johnny Mnemonic" in the early 1980s.
Actually many large Asian cities do resemble the 2019 LA of Bladerunner.
In India we do have over population, hitech, large modern buildings rubbing shoulders with creaking infrastructure and high pollution. This is particularly true during the winter months when we have smog.
How do you supposed to keep that kitchen clean? 😂
Terry Gilliam movies specifically "Brazil" have a lot of giant tubes and ducts slapped on to Old buildings. His movies love exploring Urban decay and futurism. Gilliam movies of course have his surrealist aesthetic to them.
I love this channel.
So you are a futurist? Do you have any of your own predictions yet? Please let me know as I find your insights very enlightening.
Also a minor suggestion. I see you like to use the term ‘stupidly’ a lot. I think it’s fine to have your own methods but the word hits the ear wrong. Just a suggestion.
Question: How far are we from the timeline similar to that of Star Trek? And how much resembled it will be that of Star Trek?
240 years
What ever year they say in movies for the future predictions add 50 to 100 years to it
flat screens in cars are an example of how looking good can be criminally bad design-people are being killed by drivers scrolling through menus looking for the heater controls . Car makers love them because ther so much cheaper than dedicated buttons and dials . Syd Mead was a genius - he understood Futurisim so easily = shitification
I’m sorry, but the idea that “many” people out a hundred picked at random would find Blade Runner “the greatest science fiction film of all time” is hilarious.
First of all, roughly ninety-eight percent of people born before the year 2000 (ironically enough) would not describe themselves as science fiction fans.
Secondly, even among science fiction fans, this movie is far more beloved among the auteur class than everyone else. I have always been an obsessive consumer of science fiction films, and I thought the movie sucked. I went back many years later, just to see if it actually sucked that bad, and found that, yes it did.
Don’t get me wrong, I adore everything that Syd Mead ever put to canvas, he is by far my favorite of the futurist artists. But his work looks a thousand times better in sunlight. And a thousand times worse in rainy darkness.
Most of the viewing public have seen fewer than fifteen science fiction movies in their lifetimes, and they can generally remember no more than three or four of them. Star Wars, Avatar, a Star Trek movie, and D. If not for the sequel movie, very few people outside film students would even know of this film’s existence today. I’ve no doubt that both you and your local fanbase live and die on this movie, but I, a sci-fi enthusiast who has probably seen over a hundred sci-films and tv shows in my life, rate Blade Runner in the second-lowest quintile.
Keep up with the great content, looking forward to more videos!

"98% of people aren't sci Fi fans" -proceeds to list the most profitable movie franchises of all time. (Half of which were inspired by Blade Runner)
You seem to be ignoring the force that was "2001: A Space Odyssey", from 1968. It shook the culture and created a picture of the future of space travel that would be realized in 1969 with the Moon Landing. There was a zeitgeist around this film and Kennedy's Space Race that gripped many a young mind. There was a LOT of national pride and interest in scientific advancement, the future, and space travel. The film reverberated into the 1970's and 1980's into college/stoner culture. I think there are a lot more Sci-Fi aficionados from before the millennia than you are crediting.
Despite loving the book, I found it very difficult to enjoy the film due to its anticapitalist, anti hi-rise, anti progress subtext. It was so explicit you could almost choke on it. Yet, strangely enough, even today, where that vision of the future totally failed, people still fail to see the film was a 2-hour visual diatribe against capitalism and human progress.
Corpo-Capitalism is spiraling out of hand just as predicted.
@@bobhope5114 On that point I will only partially disagree. The net effect however has not produced Scotts’s vision however.
