“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 Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
Great movie and a wonderful performance. Very cool pic, OP.
Not gonna lie, it took me like 3 takes to watch this movie to get why it gets praised. I love it. His speech at the end always gives me goosebumps. Amazing movie.
I saw this movie with my brother when it first came out in an empty theater. I was blow away by the movie, and then blown away by the fact no one else had seen it. So glad it aged so well.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long – and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. Look at you: you’re the Prodigal Son; you’re quite a prize!
I met him just once (I attend many autograph conventions and meet some celebs multiple times). He signed my Blade Runner poster. I just remember his very warm and genuine smile as he shook my hand.
Working on movie sets for so many years, I can’t imagine how hard it was to keep all that floor to sky neon intact. You breath on it wrong and it breaks. One little bump with a ladder, one little nudge.. or nothing at all. And then you get on a lift to go fix it and the whole thing blows. So cool.
Growing up, my parents had me hooked on his first show (a Dutch production with Paul Verhoeven). Hauer played a knight/nobleman whose castle was stolen while he was travelling around the world (where he befriended a wizard). It’s incredibly theatrical with a very bombastic soundtrack, but god does it hold up well, even if it’s in black and white.
I remember first seeing Blade Runner as a kid in the 80’s. It was the first movie I picked when the family got our first VCR. I remember being absolutely enthralled.
I can safely say that every time I see this movie thier is a nugget that reveals it self that idid not notice when I first saw it can remember the theater and the time of day that I saw it and could not understand why it was consider a flop back then. I also like when people give thier two cents worth to see how impactful this movie has been
This looks like it could’ve been taken yesterday

Catastrophic Singing in the Rain. Timeless
Anyone else think the front man from the band Accept tried to use this look?
Love this guy.
That ATARI sign didn’t age well.

The only actor playing an android who really felt like one.
It forever breaks my heart that he never got to see November 2019.

Doest look a day over 36.
Split Second is still one of my favourite scifi flicks. BIGGER FUCKING GUNS. Wish he had more lead parts.
One of my top 5 All Time Favorite movies….I think i have watched it 500 times
Me when I go to 7/11, in the rain, in Los Angeles, in 2022.
god what a fucking amazing photo

Y’know no matter what role he played he always had a faint Dutch accent. Replicant, vampire, Russian POW…always nailed it.
Collectively, some of the best set design I’ve ever seen on film
The sequel was awesome as well.
Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner and William Dafoe in Streets of Fire are probably the most memorable movie bad buys from my childhood.
Damn he was one beautiful android
I know this is just a black and white image, but is there a black and white version of blade runner? Looks awesome.
You were made as well as we could make you.
But not to last.

Anyone have this in higher resolution?

He and Leon had a conversation outside that booth.

That camera is sexy. Me want.

so far ahead of it’s time in scope and vision we still haven’t caught up
Everything about this film is beautiful and amazing
Saw it in the theater when it came out. Absolutely mind blowing and so ahead of its time. Still holds up today.
I wish that Ridley Scott would direct a origins of Blade Runner movie, like how the world ended up the way it did, the story of the replicants.
The Chinese word on the column is wrong. It means magazines but spell backwords. Supposed to be 雜誌 za zhi instead of 誌雜 zhi za
I loved that bloke in every movie he did. Especially The Hitcher. Amazing
Never underestimate the effect that a wet road / pavement gives to a set. Adds a whole other layer.
Life in 2019 as seen in 1982. Flying cars and phonebooths.

It looks so dated and futuristic at the same time.
