Dolittle: What is your purpose?
Bomb: To explode, of course!
Great dialog trumps expensive special effects every time.
Totally! And one of the few English language films I’ve seen that retains the humour perfectly dubbed in German. In fact the bomb is possibly even funnier in German :)

And from Jodorowsky's Dune, where O'Bannon also worked
...and Jean Giraud (Moebius) drew the storyboards; that style also influenced the Blade Runner cityscape with all the fine detail and greebles
Blade Runner is fairly distinctive even today (outside of Cyberpunk, most other post-82 sci fi that I can think of is definitely more influenced by other things) which IMO is a sign that it isn't as universally influential as other 70s/80s sci-fi films.
Off the top of my head, do any of BSG, Babylon 5, Mass Effect, Jurassic Park, Inception, Terminator, The Expanse, Interstellar, Independence Day, or The Matrix have particularly strong ties to Blade Runner's aesthetic compared to their ties to other early film sci-fi?
