Blade Runner connects 2 other sci-fi universes.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ridley Scott's Blade Runner contains several secret connections to two other sci-fi franchises. At the time it was released in 1986, Scott's dystopian film noir continued the director's streak of intriguing world-building within the genre as it followed blade runner Rick Deckard hunting down synthetic humanoids known as replicants.
How Blade Runner Is Connected To 1998's Soldier Soldier takes place in 2036, 15 years after the events of Blade Runner, yet Todd's combat record lists the "Shoulder of Orion" battle that is mentioned after Roy Batty saves Deckard. Given that Batty only has a 6-year life span, the battle would have happened in 2015 or so, when Todd was around 20 years old and in peak fighting condition to test the ruthlessness of the military training program he entered as an orphan in 1996.
Blade Runner & Alien Are In The Same Universe Alien and Blade Runner's shared universe was confirmed in the '90s as far as fans of the Alien vs Predator comics are concerned, but there are more concrete cinematic signs in the movies themselves. Blade Runner begins with Officer Gaff getting into his spinner and starting the engines while a blue screen turns into a red "purge" screen, just like the one seen when Lt. Ripley gets into the escape pod at the end of Alien.
