Blade Runner was a science fiction film that was released in 1982 which, like all science fiction movies, completely failed to predict the future. It starred Harrison Solo, who had become an established actor playing Han Ford in the Star Wars films despite being acted off the screen by a grunting man in a yeti costume.
Blade Runner has 137 different endings - Ridley Scott, who directed the film, was a visionary who correctly predicted the invention of DVDs and the internet and so was keen to include both lots of 'DVD extras' and material to be debated between nerds in forums.
Blade Runner is based on a short story by Philip Dick called, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.' The American Guild of Science Fiction Writers found in a survey in 1998 that 98% of respondents had heard of the book but only 0% had actually read it.
Other ways in which Blade Runner is better that Star Wars include the total lack of puppets and the fact that Darryl Hannah is much sexier that Carrie Fisher
