10 Actors Who Absolutely Hate Your Favourite Movies
7. Harrison Ford Says It's Not One Of His Favourite Films - Blade Runner
In another case of an actor taking quite some time to come around to the idea of a much-adored feature, Harrison Ford infamously wasn't afraid of throwing Ridley Scott's Blade Runner under the bus on the back of bringing Rick Deckard to life for the first time in 1982.
Years before he'd ultimately agree to return to a world stuffed with replicants in Denis Villeneuve's 2049 sequel, the Star Wars and Indiana Jones icon would note in 1992 that it wasn't one of his "favourite films", and in 1999 that it wasn't just the infuriating addition of voiceover narration that left him with a bad taste in his mouth upon finishing up the flick:
"I didn't like the movie one way or the other, with or without. I played a detective who did not have any detecting to do. In terms of how I related to the material, I found it very difficult. There was stuff that was going on that was really nuts."
Ford's stormy relationship with Blade Runner appeared to have improved by the time he agreed to a Deckard return, however, with the star eventually celebrating the film's “impact on generations of filmmakers and visual storytellers” back in 2017.
Better late than never, eh?
