Damn. He seemed like one of those guys who would just go on forever. Gutted.

RIP. A true talent.

An iconic role. Another bit of my youth dies.

Captivating presence on screen in many of the films he was in.

Roy Batty is one of the iconic characters in my movie going history.

RIP Rutger.

How sad to read this. He was an incredible, and very unique, actor.

Lost count of how may times I've watched that scene and it still give me goosebumps. Beats 'Et tu, Brute?' as best final words ever.

Classic... will have to watch again sometime

'The Dutch Paul Newman'...
also liked the film with Gene hackman... 'Eureka' 1983 ... just another of many he did, great actor.

There's also the classic Hobo with a shotgun.

Pretty dreadful really but one of those films you simply have to watch out of curiosity.

Over 40 years since it’s release, I’m ashamed to say I have never watched Blade Runner until last night.

This was one of the most amazing monologues I’ve ever seen and heard in a movie. Played it back 3 or 4 times and rewatched at the end of the film.

Tremendous from Rutger and a fantastic movie I’ll be watching many more times.

Next time you watch it just look at the detail know it was one of the last movies made before CGI. The flight scenes across the city are actually all miniatures. I can't remember the name of it bout there's a really good doco about how it was made. Including the final scenes in the hotel and how the used it. Apparently nearly all of it was filmed at night to save money.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2023, 10:13:03 am »

Yeah. I have already seen reference to the doc you refer too.

Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner (2007)

Apparently it’s the definitive 3 1/2 hour doc.

Gonna see if I can find it somewhere

Blade Runner was his second best film after Hobo with a Shotgun.
All time classic.

Still my favourite film, and what a monologue. 😲
