...dohhh.....just realised I recorded it on BBC2 lo-def...
...in the pre-DVD days films seemed to stick around alot longer in cinemas even though there were less multiplexes......I must have gone back to see this mesmerised at least 20 or so times when it came out....incredible the way Scott created an entire future universe on a little Hollywood film-lot...
But then again, who does!

So many particulars. So many questions.
my fave bit from 'edge of bladerunner' is the info that \rutger wrote that 'time to die' bit with the doves himself and they just managed to shoe the shooting in, complete with dove as dawn broke over the set. What epic timing!

Tyrell's Cyronic Chamber
David Peoples explains that "The cryonic chamber sequence was one of the things Hampton hadn't wanted to write, I think. But Ridley really wanted that in. So what I came up with was scene where Sebastian takes Roy into this huge frozen room and you see the real Tyrell lying in state in a capsule. J.F. tells Roy Tyrell had suffered a fatal disease, so he'd had himself frozen to wait for a cure. Roy then tells Sebastian to wake him up. But J.F. breaks down and confesses that he screwed up somehow in the past and accidentally killed the real Tyrell while the guy was in frozen suspension. Then Batty freaks out and smears Sebastian all over the wall of this crypt.
"That's what I put down on paper. But I'd had another idea for that scene, too. Instead of going with the cryogenics, I'd suggested that Roy would discover that Tyrell's brain had been transplanted into the body of a shark housed inside a giant aquarium, with all sorts of leads coming out of it. An idea I was surprised to see turning up this year [1995] in a very similar scene in the film Johnny Mnemonic."
Rutger Hauger now reveals that: "When I initially came on the picture, there was a big, surprising sequence following my murder of Tyrell that was scripted and supposed to be shot. But it never was. That was unfortunate, because it was one of my favorites.
"After Tyrell says he can't make me live longer than four years and I kill him, originally I was then going to say, 'Now take me to the real maker.' And Sebastian and I were going to go up one more floor in the Tyrell Pyramid, Sebastian was going to take a key from around his neck and open a door, and the whole level was going to be revealed as a huge freezing chamber. And inside of it, the real Tyrell lay dead and frozen.
"That was going to be the moment where Batty finally snaps. Because the real maker is dead, and he can't do anything to extend Roy's life. So I had to mentally incorporate that cut scene into my performance while I was killing the real Tyrell, to suggest Batty's feelings of lost hope.
"But if we'd had that cryogenic scene I would have done Tyrell's murder quite differently. Because if Roy knew this Tyrell was only a replicant, I would have just crushed him like a bug. I wouldn't have had to kill Sebastian, either, although that cut scene had been written that way. Why do that? Sebastian's just a pawn, and a nice guy besides. I didn't have to kill him."
