Sex & Nudity
-
- A male kisses a female.
- Brief nudity in all versions of the film.
- After a replicant (working as a stripper) finishes showering, she dries her body and dresses, and both of her breasts are fully visible.
- In one scene, Rachael's left nipple is seen through her transparent bra. (This is only in the Workprint version.)
- There are some minor sexual themes, brief nudity is included in all versions.
- Two girls are shown dancing in underwear, but just for a few seconds.
- Brief breast nudity shown in all versions, no explicit nudity elsewhere.
- A woman wears revealing clothing in a fight sequence.
- Some women are shown in semi revealing clothing.
Violence & Gore
-
- A woman straddles a man's neck in a fight and attempts to choke him with her thighs. She spins his head around and slaps it multiple times but then lets him go.
- A man has his eyes poked out by an android. This is not very graphic, unless you're watching the Final Cut, in which case it is very graphic. In the Final Cut, we see the act and we see the gory aftermath. In the other cuts we just see the act, no gore.
- A woman is shot in the shoulder blade and falls into broken glass.
- All public with warning.
- A low body count. About 5 people die.
- The violence that Blade Runner has is often bloody, intense, and graphic. The "Final Cut" has even more disturbing scenes, even though all versions contain definitely violent scenes.
- A man is shot twice in the chest; he flies backwards in the chair he was sitting in. No blood is seen, but in the Workprint version you can see smoke or steam coming out of an exit wound for a few seconds afterwards.
- A man is shot through the back of the head and you can see (from the front) his forehead burst open. Surprisingly little blood is visible.
- A man's skull is crushed (not visibly, but a crack is heard) and we see blood come from his eyes as the perpetrator's thumbs are pressed into his eye sockets while the victim groans in agony (very disturbing). The Final Cut, International Cut, and Workprint versions show this on-screen with blood pouring from the eyes of the man being killed. This isn't as graphic as one might imagine due to much of the blood being obscured from the perpetrator's thumbs. The other versions, U. S. Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut, cut away until the attacker lets go. This scene is the main reason for the film's R rating.
- A woman is shot in the chest. As she writhes on the ground, she is shot again until she dies. Bloody bullet wounds are very briefly visible, including one shot where blood pours out of the wound. Much of this scene is shot from a far distance.
- In the Final Cut, International Cut, and Workprint versions a woman briefly lifts a man lying on the ground a bit by hooking his nostrils with her fingers.
- A man grabs another man's hand and breaks a couple of his fingers. You can hear the fingers breaking and see the man wince in pain. He later resets his own fingers and you see them bent back at first.
- A man has the tip of his ear shot off at close range, with the wound and blood quite visible.
- A man hits another man in the face with a metal pipe. You can later see blood on the man's face.
- A man intentionally stabs a nail through his own hand. In the Final Cut, International Cut, and Workprint this is seen clearly with a little bit of blood. The actual stabbing is done very quickly and the shot of it going through is brief. The other versions, U.S. Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut, cut away from this until the nail has already gone through.
Profanity
-
- 1 use of "Christ."
- 1 use of hell, goddamn, and asshole.
- In the theatrical version the n-word slur is used once in the voice over.
- 1 use of "Gosh".
- "Fucker" is heard. In the Final Cut, this has been replaced by "father."
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Characters are seen smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages in some scenes.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The movie overall can be very emotional and depressing, as it deals with themes of existentialism and what it means to be human.
- The scene where an android pokes out a man's eyeballs is very intense and may disturb some viewers. This is arguably the most violent scene in the movie (despite not being extremely graphic).
- A character is seen hanging off a building by his fingers.
- The film is very dark and depressing, and there is a growing sense of paranoia throughout.
- The final confrontation between the main character and antagonist is very intense and frightening.
- The ending is emotional and intense.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A male human kisses a male replicant (his creation). Can be uncomfortable since there is a sort of father-son relationship implied.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The majority of the last 20-25 minutes of the film involves Deckard finally tracking down the last 2 replicants. After killing one, Deckard faces the leader. It is a violent and psychological battle as Roy tortures Deckard both physically and mentally. At this point, Roy is dying (4-year lifespan) and his mind is clearly deteriorating. It is a very intense ending.
- The protagonist tries to kiss a woman who does not reciprocate his affections. He forcefully shuts the door when she tries to leave and proceeds to pin her against the wall against her will. The woman is crying, but the protagonist makes her say "kiss me" until he finally starts to kiss her.
- The scene where the main antagonist dies near the end of the film is very sad.
