    I’d love to see a gritty, realistic action movie where silencers weren’t silent, bullets didn’t make people fly backwards, fighting was visibly exhausting,

    One if the reasons I really enjoyed the original Blade Runner is the “hero” is always getting his ass kicked. He’s supposed to be the best, but the first Replicant we see him encounter in the field would have killed him. The only reason he lived is she got spooked by people coming in the room and ran off. Moments later Leon slaps the gun from his hand and beats the living fuck out of him in the street. Deckard would have died if it were not for Rachael.

    He also misses a lot of shots when he isn’t dropping his gun.
