Quintessential cyberpunk.
Indeed.
I remember reading something by William Gibson who was working on Neuromancer at the time, and nearly *expletive deleted*it a brick when he saw Blade Runner, he didn't calm down until he figured out it was about replicants, and that AI and a pervasive Internet did not figure into the story.
I have an old version of the Directors cut, probably from the 90s or something. What's different about the 2007 one, just re mastering or something?

The replicant spared him because the replicant didn't want to kill a replicant....

Phillip K Dick is an amazing author, even Hollywood has a hard time destroying his vision.
Yes, Total Recall, Paycheck, Minority Report, and Impostor all managed to be halfway decent, or at least not completely awful, despite Hollywood's best efforts they be otherwise.
Oh, and I have nothing other to add, then that Syd Mead is a genius as well.

Mead had input on the design of Tron, several Vegas casinos, and the Planet Express spaceship in Futurama. Guy keeps busy.
