10 Movie Scenes Everyone Skips

In the case of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, the glacial pacing is rather the point - this is a moody, slow-moving sci-fi noir that has no interest in just rushing viewers from one action beat to the next.

There is one scene that just doesn't hold up today, though, and that's the now-infamous "enhance" sequence, where Deckard (Harrison Ford) uses an Esper supercomputer to analyse a photo he swiped from replicant Leon's (Brion James) hotel room.

The painstaking sequence sees Deckard using the computer to enhance various sectors of the image, zooming in by frankly ridiculous orders of magnitude to examine possible clues in the picture.

The fact that the scene goes on for so long, and that Deckard even uses the Esper to reconstruct an image of replicant Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) from a reflection, has been widely joked about by fans, and even brilliantly parodied in an iconic Red Dwarf episode.

There are many excellent, meditiative scenes in Blade Runner, but this just isn't one of them. It's a bit of a chore to sit through when it's so repetitive and we all know where it's going.
