“In a cyberpunk vision of the future, man has developed the technology to create replicants, human clones used to serve in the colonies outside Earth but with fixed lifespans. In Los Angeles, 2019, Deckard is a Blade Runner, a cop who specialises in terminating replicants. Originally in retirement, he is forced to re-enter the force when six replicants escape from an offworld colony to Earth. Written by Graeme Roy {gsr@cbmamiga.demon.co.uk}”

Trivia: The famous skyscrapers which shoot flames from their summits in the opening shot of the movie are oil refineries, and the flames are known as “sour gas”.

Goofs: Continuity: When Deckard and Bryant are reviewing the video from Leon’s VK empathy test, the dialogue between Leon and Holden is not as fast as it was in the original scene. In addition, Leon is heard to say “Uh…” prior to identifying his hotel room number, which he does not do in the earlier version of the scene.
