Adam Savage Encounters His Favorite Movie Prop: Deckard's Gun From BLADE RUNNER

Adam Savage is a incredibly lucky guy. That's not to say he hasn't worked to be in the position he's in. At a young age he knew he wanted to work on films, and he turned that desire into a career in prop building and special effects. His hard work and know-how led to him becoming co-host of a little show called Mythbusters. Now he gets to entertain both himself and us by reaching out to like-minded prop builders and collectors to showcase some of his favorite prop pieces that have influenced him. Thanks to Dan Lanigan of Mammoth Props, Adam gets to finally see what is possibly his favorite movie prop of all time (his words): Deckard's gun from Blade Runner. With childlike wonder and an engineer's eye, he goes over every detail of the pistol. He even brought his own reproduction to compare. Adam has spent many years replicating the gun in his own shop. If you want to see his personal collection of replicas and the obsessive amount of detail he's put into it, check out these videos. 

One of the holy grail props in movie history is Deckard's PKD Blaster from Blade Runner. This iconic pistol has been intensely studied by replica prop builders, including Adam Savage. Adam finally meets the real hero prop--in the collection of Dan Lanigan--and bring his own storied replica to compare with the original!

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.

In this very special visit to Adam's Cave, Adam goes in-depth about his passion for the Blade Runner blaster and tells the story of each of the variations of the prop he has in his collection. The evolution of his replica project over 25 years is an incredible story.
