Wellllll...I admire that flic tooo, (or why would I quote from it in the BOT) Here are some related trivia:
When I moved to Hollywood in 1982, I first moved in with Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo (I knew his German girlfriend) and through him I met Spazz Attack, who appeared in Devo's videos and was THE Punk extra at the time. He became my roomate, and that year appeared in a downtown street scene in Bladerunner, one can see his superspiked hairdo in that well published still of Harrison Ford jumping on a Taxi roof. I lost track of Spazz when he moved to Japan.
The following year I went to school at AFI and Jordan Cronenweth was our guest cinematography teacher, showing us how through miss-communication the interior lighting of the Nexus Corp. exec suite did not match Doug Trumbull's exterior mood...
From my Hollywood Hills room I had a great view over the Hollywood cityscape and at night I swear all you needed were the occasional gas flames shooting up, (because sometimes the blimp would be there), and you had BLADERUNNER...
And then I found the Bradbury building (what a namesake irony), yes, and right across from it the Million Dollar Building, where Trish emerged from the trash...
And much later, at Rocket Video on La Brea, I was brousing through the isles, wearing my long German raincoat, and found myself next to Ruttger Hauer. He looked me up and down, and remarked "Nice coat!", ...and left. Wow!
All those moments, frozen in time...
Sven, I loved your BoT quote, and your story is fantastic. You have warmed the heart of an old BR head. To quote Bong, "I think we could hang..."
aloha,
