Korean Blade Runner?

yeah. seems like everyone know is copying every other person's creations.

However, if BR had been a success we probably would've ended up with something like Blade Runner: Resurrection. Oh my God...

Dear God!

Alien vs Blade Runner!

now even I dont want to joke about an Aliens vs Blade Runner.

Early in the 22nd Century, THE NUKA COLA
CORPORATION advanced vending machine
evolution into the ALIEN phase -- a being virtually
identical to a lollipop salesman-- known as a
DUMBARSE.

The DUMBARSE Aliens rocked in
humor and stupidities, and were at least 32 times
less intelligent to the machos who created them.

Aliens were used in labor camps as
comedians, in the hazardous sexploration and
colonization of other theme parks.

After a big sodashed by a DUMBARSE 9 Xmas
carol team in Ganymedes Disneyland,
Aliens were declared illegal on Earth -- under
penalty of overfeeding with Nutella.
Special police squads -- RAZOR CRAWLER
UNITS -- had orders to tickle to death,
upon detection, any Dumbarse fooling around.

This was not called execution.
It was called FUN! LOL!

If Mel Brookes spoofed Blade Runner I imagine the movie would start as exactly like that. Actually, I'm not a great fan of Mel Brookes so perhaps his opening crawl wouldn't be half as funny that.

Funny, Ridley Scott destroyed almost all of the sets and prop pieces in the now imfamous bonfires to prevent them from being re used again and again in lesser movies.

Ironic then that it was his themes and many shots that were lifted many times over and placed in substandard movies.

Well, I've seen this film twice now, and own the Dvd. It's on the slow side, and the story meandors around for a long time, the characters seem not to know what to do next over and over again. The action scenes are on the choppy side, not well cut, or well shot. The film is a blade runner knock off. Absolutely someone said "lets remake blade runner with a matrix style" Only they said in korean.

Blade Runner is one of the most influential movies of our time. From 1982 on, I've seen snippets of Blade Runner in a lot of movies. Perhaps now that torch is carried by The Matrix.

My friend got me this as a "Gag" gift for my birthday-thinking we will have a fun time watching a scene for scene knockoff of Bladerunner.

We were impressed with this effort in visual fx and some atmosphere.

There is no denying that "Bladerunner" "Aliens" "Ghost in the shell" are influences- Scenes and the plot element of heroes love with a non human woman =are definantly BR. The Police unit is very Colonial Marine in its raid on the DNA building.

Transferrance of ones "Soul" to a Cyborg body is very "Ghost in the Shell inspired

I will digress and say that "Matrix" is in no posistion to be held as original compared to other films-it seems any movie that has characters in long black coats, sunglasses and "Bullettime" slow-mo FX owe everything to this part one of a failed trilogy (my opinion)

Not so-Matrix was as its creators admitted owed alot to anime and manga-and there the Koreans were already ahead of it.

Given this comes from a small cinema industry (Compared to the US) But on the other hand South Korea seems to copy quite heavily with vary mixed results Little matchstick girl is far closer to copying the VR world of matrix and it does this in a very bizarre manner.

Some concepts were very in the Blade Runner theme and well handled :
The Hero and the "Cyborg" female sitting in the holographic simulation of the offworld planet they desired to go to in the Offworld Spaceport lounge. (The Offworld element of BR.)

The Cyborg females attachment to the holographic bud and having to maintain it until if flowers (Giving her a chance to create a life and care for it like a human mother)

But the film is long and the inexplicable reason why the "city" houses 1000's of Combat Cyborgs that can be switched to "Evil" or Deviant in the movie terms and why do they get weaker as they confront solitary unarmed soldiers but drop armed squads of men in no time:)? (I know its the old hero hit point thing but this film puts it right into your face.)

Best use of a of a pleasure model cyborg named "strawberry"! Strapping a bomb on her and letting her leap on the nose of what looks to me to be a copy an Aliens Dropship and bam we have jam!

I think if you are patient Natural City is worth the watch. (Sorry for the pun-its late:)

now even I dont want to joke about an Aliens vs Blade Runner.

That's funny to me, since we're using Weyland-Yutani in our blade runner fan film, and Natalie Weyland (daughter of Charles Weyland from AVP) is one of our characters. NO aliens, or anything like that.

The idea is, if you take the monster out of the alien universe it meshes with the "offworld" aspects of blade runner perfectly, and since this is a fan film, we thought it would be fun.

Man, I want you guys to see this NOW.

Sorry you have to wait for us to finish it!!

I agree that it's a failed trilogy in this country, but it has been successful elsewhere. That does not change the fact that the first film has made a craterous impact on the film industry visually, and stylistically. To this day. No matter what it's influences are, The Matrix was new for action films in the USA. No one had really accomplished what they had done with that film.

Equilibrium was a film that drew form the similiar influences, and ironically used no wires for stunt work, and was blasted for being a blatant rip off of the Matrix (among others). Thematically they could not be more different. But I saw the film as a homage to what so many other folks thought was a rip off.

Anyway, off on a tangent there.

I liked a few parts of Natural City enough to have watched it three times now. It's growing on me. But I still think it's a horribly uneven narrative that doesn't have it's own identity.

Blade Runner: Resurrection. Oh my God...
