The best line in Ridley Scott's seminal cyberpunk neo-noir film Blade Runner was actually improvised by actor Rutger Hauer. Originally released in 1982, a year that changed sci-fi movies forever, Blade Runner bombed upon its initial theatrical run, overshadowed by the immense success of Steven Spielberg's family-friendly E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Roy Batty's 'Tears In Rain' Speech Was Improvised Rutger Hauer's Blade Runner "Tears in Rain" speech was largely improvised by the actor, without the prior knowledge of director Ridley Scott or credited screenwriters Hampton Fancher and David Peoples . Hauer's version of the monologue brought crew members to tears by the time cameras cut, while others applauded the actor's emotional performance, according to an interview with RadioTimes.
Rain tears dropping on my head…..
