Leon Kowalski is a replicant who came to Earth with five others looking to extend their lives. He has an A physical level, which means he has superhuman strength and endurance (according to the Final Cut he was used as a 180 kg/400 lb nuclear-head loader in the outer space colonies as well as a front-line soldier). Leon is classified mental level C. He doesn’t have the speed of thought that Roy does when it comes to solving problems. He was activated on April 10, 2017, making him 2 years and 7 months old by the time of the film.
Leon shoots Blade Runner Holden as he administers the Voight-Kampff test on him while he works at the Tyrell Corporation, which he has infiltrated. Leon attacks Deckard after he witnesses Deckard kill Zhora, but is himself killed by Rachael who shoots him with Deckard’s gun, which Leon had knocked out of Deckard’s hand as he drew it.
Leon cherishes photographs of his friends. Unlike Rachael’s false photos of her childhood, these include current photos of people who mean something to him.
Leon Kowalski was played by Brion James.
I used to work with a guy who looked exactly like him, it always freaked me out.
“My mother? Let me tell you about my mother!”
He was always surly in staff meetings.
Here, this'll help you sleep at night!
Ha ha.
Happy incept date.
Looked like a COP .357 4 shot that
He Pulls out.
It was my understanding there was to be a remake or sequel of blade runner. Not sure they could do it any better though.
Anyone hear this?
He was in other movies: Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs., Another 48 Hrs., Tango & Cash, Red Heat, The Player and The Fifth Element.
What’s a tortoise?
Shows that science fiction is usually MUCH more fiction than science or engineering.
inception is much less fun than conception.
“Do you make up these questions yourself, or do they write them down for you?”

Thirty-five years in between the original and the sequel with the original star. That might be some kind of record.
Don’t ask him about his mother.
I interviewed a guy that really reminded me of him. I didn’t bring up his mother.
