Ask Adam Savage: Why I Still Like Blade Runner
Ғылым және технология
"Is there a difference in what attracted you to Blade Runner when you first saw it and what still attracts you to it to this day?" "Since refining your machining skills this year, what one Blade Runner (franchise) prop would you like to tackle?" In this excerpt from our Feb. 9 live stream, Adam answers a wide range of questions from Tested members Grovespaz, Seth Huckstead, Nerds&Makers, KingNickSA and Brian Creasey (whom we thank for their support!).

Right? SEVERAL TIMES I've "gone down the rabbit hole" of looking for every time Adam talked about or built something from Blade Runner.
Blade Runner was my first taste of cyberpunk meets detective "Noir" story. Being born in 1981 I grew up mostly alone and had movie and cartoons to help me escape to vast and interesting worlds. Blade Runner really took a firm hold on my heart. I still love the original and the sequel was excellent. Such a fantastic world Ridley Scott created for the world to enjoy.

I love it whenever he talks about Blade Runner. Seems like he's in his happy place. If he started a second channel solely on BR, I'd be all for it.
Went on a curse in the 1980's and Syd Mead was on there and did a presentation (book sales too) and a lot of the questions in the Q&A session were about Blade Runner along with all the other movies he had done art for at that time (2010, TRON, Aliens). That was quite a good presentation, really enjoyed it. So long ago hard to remember many specific answers except that they used Chinese in the City backdrop as they wanted it to be extremely "busy" and if you could have read all the signs you would not pay attention to the narrative or some such reason.
Roy’s speech is still one of the most beautiful moments ever captured on film. The central plot points of the movie have never stopped being universal, and emotionally connected to by the audience.

It’s so amazing that Rutger Hauer wrote the “Tears in rain” speech, coming up with the imagery and pitching it to Ridley Scott.
Adam is such a wholesome man, he represents the geek in all of us.

Still one of my favourite films.

Adam, I am so glad you mentioned “falling into” Art, I had this exact experience looking at “The Fighting Temeraire” by Turner in London, people around me thought I was breaking down, difficult to explain why to my Wife without sounding weird. BR has always been the yardstick other film should be measured against for me, I still watch occasionally and still see something I’ve missed previously, it’s Ridleys Mona Lisa.
My mom took me with her to see blade runner. Thank you mom, I love you. Keep it up.
The only thing disappointing about Blade Runner is that it's future is now two years in our past.
Goodness. You really captured the feeling of the newness and excitement I felt about the world as a young man. Art, be it books, films, paintings, ect., was something felt viscerally. It quickened my appreciation for my fellow man and opened my eyes to the possibilities that life presented. In the years since, while my exposure to various media has enabled me to separate the wheat from the the chaff, I find those gems fewer and farther between. That is bittersweet. Thanks for the memories.
Fascinating, insightful, nostalgic and very relatable. Thank you Adam for realising things about yourself that help me know my 'self' a little better.
It's entirely different for me now. I fell in love with the world of Blade Runner at first sight. The production design wowed me like no film before, or since. So I still love the world, but what I love most about the film now...the themes of what it means to be human, how much more human the replicants truly are than the demoralized humans who enslave them...all of that took time for me to discover and fully appreciate.
Blade runner was one of the first movies that made me feel empty because of its bittersweet ending ;-;

The original ending was pretty lazy tbh
When Blade Runner first came out, I had to read PK Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” the source/inspiration for the film - great for an added dimension. Vangelis’ soundtrack was also on heavy replay. I too loved Murakami’s “1Q84.” I love his storytelling.
Have you read Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? The story is quite different than Blade Runner and it has a much more spiritual tone to it but still has the same "vibe". One of the best books I have ever read. Philip K Dick is a genius.
Blade Runner 2049 might actually be my favourite film *of all time.* What a masterpiece. I love the Original too, though :-) (it's probably in my top 10)
I have a great love for every thing Blade Runner and really look forward to every video you post related to it thank you for these
I just watched Blade Runner AGAIN after your video from the other day.

Blade Runner - a timeless dystopian Film Noir, a 1982 vision of what could be the future...watching this movie over and over is a luxury that new technology brought us with DVD - everything is perfect in this movie, the picture, SFX , Acting, Story and the music from Vangelis enhance so well the atmosphere...a must to possess
blade runner resonates with me because i think all of us have a desire to know who created us, how and why. Also having our lives (lifespan for the replicants in the movie, Rick Deckard always questioning if his life is) predetermined is something I believe we all yearn for.
Adam, I still love it too. Hard for me to explain to people that don’t understand.
It really makes me happy when I hear someone influential and someone that I've really admire since I was young talk about art in a positive way (mainly painting as I'm studying it at university) Not just the classics like Degas as you mentioned but also Francis Bacon and Keifer whom many people as I've heard dislike/hate, and those people go on to belittle and hate on contemporary artists just because they're not like the old masters. Of course it's an opinion, but what is the point when it ends up putting young artists like me down? I have been in a super deep block/slump, your videos really cheer me up so thank you 😊
Love blade runner, thanks for the hype, have to go watch it now
Couldn’t agree with Adam more. The shared experience of seeing Blade Runner with my high school chums; this after seeing ET and The Thing all on the same day. What an experience and what memories from the summer of ‘82!
the music always captivates me... an awesome cast.
Following up on my comments about going to the St. Marks Theatre every Thursday night for the midnight showing of Blade Runner and your latest commentary on youth in NY and shared experiences…I totally agree about being in my early 20’s and sharing the movie event with my co-worker and best friend, we’d either proceed or follow the show with a visit to Stromboli’s Pizza 🍕 on West 8th Street and 1st Avenue. I feel like I would have passed you by in so many NYC locations like Forbidden Planet or the Strand Book Shop or in the workshop of people who used the Amiga Computer for early 3D design and animation, run by a cabinet maker from Sotheby's whose name escapes me. It was also in the West Village on 6th Street I think. Anyway sorry, I never connected but I’m glad we share the same planet and a familiar NYC past.

I first saw Blade Runner in midnight showings in my small town. It was in heavy rotation in my teenage years, on Friday nights. Saturday was always Rocky Horror.
I love that you put this up I'm posting this to Facebook ( bladezone)
Vangelis totally sets the mood with the soundtrack
Blade Runner is my favorite movie
loved this
Oh damn! I don't remember anything after Adam said he was going to make a Voigt-Kampff machine.
I feel like I've had a similar experience with the John Wick movies. I was so obsessed I took Judo and Karate classes. It was indeed a product of whatever I felt was lacking in my identity in my highschool years, and I feel I would never experience them the same way if they were to come out now that I'm in college.
Hi Adam and the team, I wait patiently every day for the next vid you put out! I was wondering if you have ever built or thought of building a terminator mechanical arm? Lots of machining involved
Blade Runner for me is like a spiritual thing, it has all the elements of art I love and Harrison Ford as Deckard was the cherry as a child watching something I shouldn't. Syd Mead is to this day a massive influence on me, I love the mans work and Sir Ridley Scott is as influential and thought provoking as Stanley Kubrick, The Shining and Blade Runner are connected, At the end the car in the mountains in the helicopter shots are unused footage from The Shining intro.
You have been someone I look up to and someone that I want to be like in the way you look at life and the way you peruse what you do.

I would love to see you do a One Day Build of Sapper Morton's medical bag.
I assumed Deckard didn’t have his own Police Spinner and only rode in Gaff’s in the original. Deckard only had the orange car.
I wish we could do a commentary track (maybe MST3K style) of Adam watching Blade Runner. I want to love it as much as he does...
How about the ATREIDES BINOCULARS featured in the DUNE promo image?? Surely you can pull some strings and get a sneak peek at that Adam!!
Yes! 🤘🏼🍻
Though it was a vocal slip, I think "100 years of solid tools" seemed a strangely apt phrase for Adam. 😁
New mill? CNC? 2021 just got better for Adam.
Have you ever considered doing a sort of mini-Mythbusters-type show on Tested?
I like this format and would like to see a version where some else ask you the questions
When the Special Edition came out, the one in the plastic briefcase with 5 versions of the film, I literally sat down and binge watched them all back to back. I have zero regrets. Just rewatched The Final Cut about a week ago, and it just gets more magnificent with each viewing.

@@Ogaitnas900 - Not initially. I was not a huge fan of the original. Like a lot of classics it grew on me over the years. I think the narrated version was not too my liking. The film looked amazing though. all the visuals were there. The happy ending, I felt conflicted with the rather somber tone of the rest of the film. Subsequent versions improved the film and I am a fan of those.
Blade Runner is a timeless classic.
I remember Times Square in the 1980s...I was in my early 20s, and I was staying at my aunt's place in Yonkers, and visiting a girlfriend in Long Island near Lynbrook on the LIRR...So I would walk between Grand Central and Penn Station since the subway at that time was kinda scary. I remember the porn shops and movie places...but I do miss the pinball arcades that were also in that area. But it was indeed a grimey, dirty time and place.
Timeless
I want more movies in the Ridley-verse but I don't want them to be Blade Runner or Alien. I want something NEW in that universe. I just want to visit that world again. Technically the movie Soldier (1998) is apparently set in the same universe but it's not the same caliber and not made by Ridley. Best part of that movie is Loreena McKennitt - night ride across the Caucasus on the soundtrack

I'm not a fan of Blade Runner at all, but I have my own movies that elicit a similar kind of dedicated adoration from me. Such as Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Willow, and Ladyhawke.
