About This Quiz
Step out onto the neon-lit streets of future Los Angeles, and pull your trench coat collar up against the incessant rain. How much do you know about "Blade Runner"? Take this quiz to find out.
The Voight-Kampff test can spot a replicant by asking emotionally charged questions in order to provoke what?
a system shutdown command
a violent outburst
dilated pupils, blushing and increased heart rate
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer
A trained Blade Runner can use the Voight-Kampff to differentiate humans from replicants by detecting physiological reactions like blushing or dilated pupils. It's not intended to provoke a violent outburst, though that happens from time to time.
How many replicants escape from the Off-world Colonies and make their way to Earth?
six
eight
15
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer
Bryant tells Deckard there are six renegade replicants, one of which already got killed. Who the remaining five are is open to a lot of fun conjecture (and is partly due to inconsistent script changes and an error in dubbing dialog which is fixed in some versions).
Two major elements were added to the original theatrical release of "Blade Runner": a "happy ending" that shows Deckard and Rachael leaving L.A., and what else?
a song by Oingo Boingo during the nightclub scene
narration by Harrison Ford
an animated opening credit sequence
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer
Neither Ford nor director Ridley Scott wanted the narration added, but the studio felt the plot was too hard to follow without it.
Replicants are given uncircumventable four-year life spans, because beyond that time they might begin to develop emotions and become indistinguishable from humans.
The unicorn signifies both that Gaff found Rachael and let her live and that Gaff knows Deckard is a replicant (based on Deckard's unicorn dream, seen only in some cuts of the film).
Bonus question: The happy ending tacked onto the theatrical versions of "Blade Runner" includes aerial footage of the wilderness Deckard and Rachael are driving into. This footage was not shot for "Blade Runner." What movie does it come from?
"Beyond the Poseidon Adventure"
"The Shining"
"For Your Eyes Only"
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer
The footage came from Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining."
