Inside Adam Savage’s Cave: The Blade Runner Blaster Pistol

One of Adam’s favorite movie props is the Deckard’s LAPD pistol in Blade Runner. Unfortunately, only one hero prop was ever made for the film, so Adam has spent much of his life building the perfect replica. And so have many other fans. Here, Adam shares the stories behind different replicas made by his friends and how they’re each unique.

  1. I love how Tested is getting Adam trained on the “I’m Will” “and I’m Adam” synchronised sign off.

  2. To my ever lasting shame I have yet to actually watch Blade Runner so I just know that gun as…well “That Gun” from Fallout: New Vegas.

  3. Adam has got a completed Blade Runner blaster. He briefly shows it off in the ‘Adam on the Role of Making in Education’ video.

  4. I didn’t really get Blade Runner. I mean, it didn’t make much sense to me. And I loved the book. I get that it’s an influential look, but I didn’t really enjoy watching it, even for its visual style.

  5. You damn teases, i could’ve sworn you guys were actually going to put it together in this video, I kept telling myself, they going to do it any minute now…and alas, it did not happen.

  6. Any chance of seeing something that Adam has actually finished? These video’s are awesome but I really want to see something that Adam has taken to it’s natural conclusion so I can see the final even more awesome product!

    The Indiana Jones whip was complete. 😀

    Speaking for myself, I find the plethora of works in progress even more interesting than the finished articles. Great to see the idea – the eventual plan – and the current progress so far.

  7. Have to admit I was pretty… shocked?.. by Adam’s review of ‘Prometheus’, thought you guys were being a little harsh on Ridley Scott. Perhaps this is a peace offering? Doubt it, lol.

  8. I love mythbusters, but if Adam made a show about him working on projects that aired at the same time as mythbusters, mythbusters would loose every time.

  9. These videos keep getting better. I love seeing how other hobbyists work, and you don’t get much cooler than dam’s setup and collection.
