Information

Gender Male

Model NEXUS-6 N6MAC41717

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.

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?

Shows that science fiction is usually MUCH more fiction than science or engineering.
