On the Edge of 'Blade Runner'
7.2
Il s'agit du rare documentaire britannique de Channel 4 sur Blade Runner, qui donne un aperçu de son histoire grâce à des interviews de Ridley Scott, des scénaristes et de presque tous les acteurs. Des entretiens avec le personnel de production, y compris Ridley, donnent des détails sur le processus créatif et l'agitation pendant la préproduction. Les histoires de Paul M. Sammon et Fancher donnent un aperçu de Philip K. Dick et des origines de Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ? Les interviews des acteurs sont entrelacées, à l'exception notable de Harrison Ford et Sean Young. Ces entretiens nous donnent une idée de la difficulté et de la frustration que représentait la réalisation du film, en raison d'un réalisateur exigeant, sans alliés, et de conditions de chaleur, d'humidité et de smog, qui ajoutaient à l'atmosphère de pression que tout le monde ressentait à mesure que le film dépassait le budget...

Patton: A Tribute to Franklin J. Schaffner
1
Almost everyone who worked with director Franklin J. Schaeffer on the film is interviewed here, including George C. Scott (this piece was done before he died in 1999) and they all seem to unanimously agree that he was a complete and total gentleman to work with. Oliver Stone shows up here to give us his thoughts on the film and accuse it for being in some part responsible for the bombing of Cambodia, which is an interesting theory if perhaps a little misguided (he claims that Nixon was so influenced by Patton that it resulted in his decision to launch that first attack which in turn resulted in the bombing). Other interviewees in this piece include Richard Zanuck, Jerry Goldsmith, Fred Koenekamp, Franklin J. Schaeffer himself, and the film's producer, Frank McCarthy. The interviews are nicely complimented by some behind the scenes clips as well as a small assortment of camera tests.
