A Quote by Shinichiro Watanabe

When it was released in the 80s in Japan, 'Blade Runner' was actually a series that influenced the Japanese media very much so. I assume that everyone in the anime industry has seen Blade Runner at some point.

The work that has influenced me the most in my anime profession would be, of course, 'Blade Runner.'

Shinichiro Watanabe

I'm among the hardcore fans of 'Blade Runner.' 'Blade Runner' is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's a movie that is linked with my love and passion for cinema.

Denis Villeneuve

Honestly, I would never say, 'Oh, I've decided not to read 'The Left Hand of Darkness' because I've seen 'Blade Runner.' I've decided not to read 'Neuromancer' because I've seen 'Blade Runner.''

Laeta Kalogridis

Blade Runner was the godfather of all these fantastic movies that occur today. What's frustrating is that we're short of really great writing and great ideas. Blade Runner was full of them.

Ridley Scott

When I saw 'Blade Runner,' my understanding was that 'Blade Runner' and 'Alien' were sequels to each other - or they were related. They were set in the same world.

Damon Lindelof

When 'Blade Runner' came out, and especially, even actually when 'Alien' came out, it kind of changed how all science fiction movies were designed after that. And that was a really great thing. Now we're watching a lot of movies that are Xeroxes of Xeroxes of Xeroxes of Xeroxes of 'Blade Runner.'

James Gunn

Blade Runner is a rare science fiction movie so full of material that pages can be written about it without scratching the surface. A review like this can provide little more than an overview. A detailed exploration of the movie, its style, and its mysteries requires dedication that only someone immersed in Blade Runner lore can provide.

James Berardinelli

I think the future stopped looking American when you think back to Blade Runner and Neuromancer, when it started to look more Japanese.

Iain Banks

'Blade Runner' was one of several dystopian science-fiction films to tank in the early and middle '80s. 'Tron,' 'The Dark Crystal,' 'The Keep,' 'Labyrinth': none found a large audience.

Richard Corliss

Japan was this wonderful unexplainable sensual explosion - everything about it I found fascinating. There's a real dichotomy between the 'Blade Runner'-esque Tokyo to visiting a Buddhist monastery in the countryside.

Edith Bowman

'Blade Runner' is one of my favorite films.

J. H. Wyman

Blade Runner' is one of my favorite films.

J.H. Wyman

I love 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner' and '2001.'

John Hillcoat

Blade Runner is one of my favorite films. But, so many thing influenced me that aren't science fiction because they were just good drama. I grew up watching a lot of French cinema. I was in love with The English Patient, and movies that are very romantic in nature and have a positive message. That's a large part of my fingerprint.

J.H. Wyman

The people who really resurrected 'Blade Runner' was 'MTV.'

Ridley Scott

I could talk about Blade Runner forever.
