10 Amazing Improvised Movie Moments

3. Blade Runner - Tears In The Rain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzA_xesrL8 Frequently cited as one of the best speeches in film history, Rutger Hauer's profoundly moving death soliloquy as Roy Batty, the replicant Deckard (Harrison Ford) has been chasing throughout Blade Runner, is sublime. Though most of the key beats were on the page, Hauer decided to cut some of the dialogue he termed excessive, to make the speech succinct and less hammy. The final zinger, however, is all Hauer's doing; "All these moments will be lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die". Coming at the end of the film, it helps punctuate the film's primary concern, of contrasting the experiences of replicants and humans, and serving to blur the line between who is really what. Everything about the scene is perfectly realised, and it's Hauer's superb judgement throughout that makes it as memorable as it is.
