[Rev. Rye]

And to add to the confusion - there are editions of the original novel where they slapped the new title "Blade Runner".



Interestingly or not but the novel does not use the word Blade Runner. They added this word for the movie because it sounded "cool", but it has nothing to do with the novel. Blade runner is someone who uses rollerblades.

Actually, a Blade Runner is a person who fences medical supplies for people who don’t qualify for medical treatment under the eugenics laws of an entirely different Sci-Fi dystopian novel. One whose title was bought by Ridley Scott for the purposes of the film.

And weirdly, a slightly more faithful adaptation (and that’s not saying much) of that original novel would be filmed around the same time, but released as Taking Tiger Mountain. Although, that said, given how christballs insane that movie was, even the word slightly is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.
