#The Alien Easter Egg In Blade Runner You May Have Missed

Of course, there’s only one person in the world who knows the truth — Sir Ridley Scott.

During one of the “Blade Runner” DVD director’s commentaries, Scott explains how the worlds of “Alien” and “Blade Runner” intersect:

“There’s almost like a connective tissue between all the stuff I went through on ‘Alien’ into the environment of the Nostromo and people living within close proximity to people who still have Earth-bound connections and here we have people on Earth, so almost this world could easily be the city that supports the crew that go out in Alien. So, in other words, when the crew of Alien come back in, they might go into this place and go into a bar off the street near where Deckard lives. That’s how I thought about it.”

Sure, it’s not an out-and-out confirmation, but the idea that “Alien” and “Blade Runner” exist in the same universe makes a lot of sense. The movies share a lot of the same themes, such as the human-like androids/replicants trying to make sense of a cruel, uncaring world.

And it’s not only “Blade Runner” with hints of “Alien” in its design…
