i have found cool things like i found a Bladerunner Tyrell/Rep Detect Patch Set on e-bay that says "more human than human" and that is a Rob Zombie song. also if you start playing Pink floyd's wish you were here when you see the tree in the begining of the directors cut it seems to go with it nicely but i may just be stoned. Please list any thing that you think is interesting.
Firstly, welcome to bladezone!!<BR><BR>Secondly, yes, Mr Zombie did bace his song on that quote from Blade Runner (correct me if I am wrong). <BR><BR>Also, by the 'tree at the beginning', do you mean the LADD company logo (which has some nice music by Jerry Goldsmith)? Thats on the original cut too.<BR><BR>_________________<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.bladezone.com/contents/film/image-library/Thumbs/1604758_Taffey.jpg" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR>"Louie.
