Amazingly exhaustive and comprehensive behind the scenes look at one of the most influential movies ever made. A must read for fans and film buffs alike.

I should begin by saying that Blade Runner is one of my favorite films. If you are a fan of the film, the wealth of information about it's making contained in this book is enough for me to recommend it to you. If you are not a Blade Runner "super fan", however, you may find it hard to get past the awkward writing, careless editing and overall shoddy and casual tone of this book. While the information presented is detailed and voluminous, casual movie or science fiction fans may find it a bit overwhelming.

Blade Runner went through so many incarnations and has such a complicated history, and Sammon does a great job of telling its story. This book is really engaging, with a POV that's Just Fannish Enough. (Although Sammon's totally wrong about the Director's Cut being better than the International Cut. Narration rules!) It's a shame that Ridley Scott comes off as totally batshit insane in the interview at the end of the book. ("Deckard's a Replicant...and he's immortal!")
