 Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:35 pm Post subject: The Brands of Blade Runner |
 |
|
Adverts played a heavy role in Blade Runner. What brands can we list?
TDK
Johnny Walker
Atari
Cuisinart
Bell System
Pan Am
Koss
Budweiser
Schlitz
Braun
Bulova
Coca Cola
Microma
Casio
Steyr
Any more? 
And what of in-movie made-up ones? Was 'Metrokab' based on anything in reality?

Doh, How did I miss that one. It is usually the first one I write down. I had a list somewhere, because I had a story Idea that all the Company names that were from defunct companies were shells of government agencies for surveillance and such. i.e. Bell telephone and VidPhon used the cameras inside of everybody's homes to spy on them.
