20 Things You Somehow Missed In Blade Runner
1. The Shining
It's an easy one to miss, but the final moments of the movie (or at least, some cuts of it) features some footage that may have been oddly familiar to some viewers. As Deckard as Rachel effectively drive off into the sunset, the shots are interspersed with clips of a serene mountain-side setting.
If it feels like you've seen this before, that's because you have... in The Shining.
Stanley Kubrick famously overshot all of his establishing scenes, meaning he had over 17 hours of ariel footage from the opening of that movie. Needing something similar for the revised "happy ending" of Blade Runner, Ridley Scott simply asked him if he could use whatever was left over.
