Of course, one can understand why Harrison Ford never really held out much hope for a Blade Runner sequel.
Not only did critics not respond to it positively, but the fact that it came out during one of the biggest summers in Hollywood history resulted in it being a box office dud.
That could have been the end of its legacy, but in the last three-and-a-half decades it has achieved what can arguably called a cult film status, and it was ultimately powerful enough to inspire expansion with Blade Runner 2049.
While the movie is now heralded as one of the most brilliant sci-fi visions ever committed to the big screen, most people definitely didn’t feel that way about it when it was first released in theaters in 1982.
