Thanks for watching!
Adam Savage is obsessed with Blade Runner blasters. No. Really. Watch: th-cam.com/video/4DUULvPJTgk/w-d-xo.html
The grips on the original are made of amber. Petrified tree sap.
@@GeneralPadron they really arent lol.
Does anyone else just feel super happy for Adam?
yes
+A Man You just know he would have bought it if he could have. He just came off the last season of a 14 year long world famous tv show, with no end of resudual checks in sight (if he didn't get screwed in his contracts). Just makes me wonder how stupidly rich this Dan Lanigan is to be able to out bid many others for all these highly sought after collectibles.
*****
Well, it was made by the world famous Adam Savage. That's a great backstory in my book. ;P But I get what you're saying.
+Calvin Lee That is a very happy Adam
+Calvin Lee Seeing his apparent passion for these props just makes my day, man.
It's kinda funny because you KNOW Adam wants Dan's gun in addition to his own and Dan wants Adam's in addition...DUAL WIELD BLADE RUNNER BLASTERS!!!
If you watch closely at 7:53 Adam says "what in the world can that be" and points over Dan's shoulder, then switches the blasters.
#Lifegoals: Finding a girlfriend who looks at you like adam looks at the blade runner pistol.
strontiumXnitrate
and then....
Silence....
MAKESZENZE i had that, until she realised i was just a tomenosuke replica 😭😭😭
An says the same thing about your junk when she holds it for the first time.
She will look at your wallet like that for sure
A strap on is the best place for you to start and then work your way up from there lol. Don't just go head long with the biggest dong in your cart/wishlist!. 😉😉😂😂😂
You give a whole new meaning to "geeking out" man, I love it
lol prop porn... get a room adam....
I love that Adam is not afraid to show how happy/excited he is about things. So many people seem to think that you have to be cynical about everything to be "cool" or something, it's refreshing to see.
"It belongs in a museum"
Rensune "So do you"
They have the molds from it in seattle at the scifi museum all that stuff should be on display
NO ONE LIVES FOREVER/ . IT WILL EVENTUALLY END UP THERE. JUST LIKE HAN SOLO'S BLASTER! AND LUKE SKY WALKERS LIGHT SABER.! AND CHEWIES BOW!
Bryan Calhoun You didn't get the reference...
Rensune Now at the hands of the vault dweller.
It's always wonderful to see Adam go into completely unabashed glee.
One day I'll make my own.
I agree😊
paxpaul Wouldn't you?
for me I have a massive number of props Id love to own, mostly from the harry potter series, but one of the biggest props I'd absolutely love to own and I'm actually looking into making my own is the very first prop I've ever wanted, its the jumanji board
Adam's looks like the blaster on assignment day, and the original looks like a few years of use, it's so amazing, and I'm so happy he got to see the original in person
It's crazy how hard it must be to make such an accurate copy of anything, even if you actually HAD the original item at your disposal. So many different techniques would have been used to create that clone. Very impressive!
The Post Apocalyptic Inventor it took him 5 years
Im sure he went straight home an worked on his till he couldn't hold his eyes open any longer.
I cannot respect Adam enough for his commitment and joy! It's a joy to watch him work with props.
Gosh, one of the first videos i've ever watched from tested was Adam's blade runner blaster collection. It's so awesome to see the circle finally complete!
+Syntaxis_Dan Same, was searching 'blade runner' on YT and guess who popped up, Adam!
Seeing Adam's joy makes me happy!
Ahh living the dream! This channel needs more Adam, he's just so awesome and passionate
+MendezAS I am pretty sure the he wants to do more with Tested now that Mythbusters is done
+Montisaquadeis Awesome! That's more good news for us :)
+MendezAS But bad news in the form of mythbusters :/
+hugomrh12 Well considering the show's was running for over a decade, I think it's ran it's course.
Umm....I need that....back.
I want my gun back. Gimme my gun back.
. P i ML k s znznzjdbb_nbzbnzkdnn_bx z zm_z bo Bod kokt ok med
Unfortunately officer K dropped it in the Ocean whilst fighting a replicant by the Sea wall, and Wallace blew up your Spinner as well
Awwww man, i hope they go more in depth with that prop room.
+thetheflyinghawaiian I hope they do in a future video. There is so much to take in.
I just love seeing 2 guys, being so happy about the same thing. This is why I love Adam, hope he’ll be around for a while.
Adam, I know you switched them...
+Vexed Films Was about to say
Kwistenbiebel200 he's been planning it for years ha
+Vexed Films read your comment and could only think of Squints Palledorous.
thinking the same.
"Hey look there's Elivis" and when he turned his head he switched them. :)
I think he did it before he went through all the differences, so he could convince him it was the real one :P
7:09 *DAN* I can't thank you enough for letting me see this in person.
i want to see more of Dan on Tested!
+Alfie Chung he got the best videos, the crappy ones are for norm
Yay! Dan on Tested! This needs to happen
The pure joy that radiated from Adam throughout this video made me smile. I'm happy for him!
As someone who loves and collects props I really relate with how much of a holy grail this is to Adam. All of his christmases came at once!
JurassicCollectables ..I think he did too.
He's going to explode!
One of my favorite video games is Fallout New Vegas and there is a version of this gun in it titled "That Gun"
Hannibal Volkov Good old That Gun
Lol no matter how hard I try every time I play nv I just end up using *that gun*
@Mitchell Hart The 1911 from Honest Hearts,Or the 9mm from the base game? Because 9mm is a Hi- power Browning.
@Mitchell Hart Oh, you did say 45 auto., Woops.
@Mitchell Hart They are pretty good if you go for a handgun loadout, but late game requires the more powerful revolvers.
7:09 DAN, i can't thank you enou...
I was just about to comment about that.
Its more like DAN i cant thank you and then it repeats
+Joseph K (JoeDKat) *DAN*
+Joseph K (JoeDKat) that's what they call a hard cut in that business we call show...
I got that night before Christmas feeling all over again. Giddy, glad, grins and giggles. I'm 48. I miss being a kid. Adam still has that childlike innocent passion that I think I just found again. Thanks Adam. Thanks Dan.
You can use this gun in Fallout New Vegas. It's called "That Gun" as well as the 5.56mm pistol. Pure magic!
yea, its a reference to the movie in fallout
doctaoctobus
Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?
+ThePoptartster It's also in Saints Row IV.
Jon Acheson
Oh cool. I see they had Han Solo's blaster and Robo-cop's gun as well.
+ThePoptartster And the Aliens pulse rifle. There was this whole gun cosplay feature they had going.
Adam. Your unabashed glee was infectious. Just watching you get excited to see the prop that you covet so much made me so happy for you!
It's always been one of the most endearing things about Adam, not only his enthusiasm and his thoroughness for any given topic that interests him, but his unflinching and UNBRIDLED childlike happiness when he gets to really roll around in a dreamed-of situation. Infectious is the right word for it. I don't think anyone in the world is having as much fun as Adam Savage is at any given moment.
7:00 It's a modified jeweler's screw driver which has had the indents put on, can't remember the brand, but it was before the mass produced cheap ones, but they could be worked to look the same.
I think I have the remnants of my dads old set in the garage with the smooth shaft and knurling at the top rather than the other way round.
Watching Adam dork out is amazing.
I can't say I have the same passion for movie memorabilia and props, or really understand why perfection in replicas is that important, but seeing someone I respect so excited about something he's wanted to see for a long time is genuinely awesome.
Close your eyes when he gets the gun out lol
rather NSFW Lol
+DJ Scottdog LMFAO
+DJ Scottdog "it's actually heavier than mine" LOL
+DJ Scottdog I couldn't laught more! Thanks! lolololol!!! "It's actually heavier than mine!" OMG lol!
DJ Scottdog Starts at 2:36.
It doesn't get dorkier than this.... 🤓
lockodonis Oh it can get sooo much dorkier haha.
look up dakimakura
No. Or more awesome! :)
Dork comes in many guises. Somebody who spends every cent the have on a fancy gas range, maybe a person who has 300 tennis shoes and pays thousands for a pair of Jordan’s, perhaps the pair of girls who spend 2 hours putting makeup on each other every night and have hundreds of shades and varieties of nail polish.
We all have our unique obsessions
No when you can afford to spend $270.000. on an original blaster. Nothing dorky about it. Just impressive.
Considering I've seen most of adams attempts and ravings over the years about his blade runner pistol, it's hilariously fun to see him get a hold of the real thing, and that his is so close.
Been my favorite movie since the 80s… I felt so nostalgic watching this
Come on Adam it was time for the "old switcheroo"!
my father and I always talked about trying to find a kit for this blaster when I was younger and we would build models together. congrats adam. that's awesome!
Adam savage has a good life.
+Joshua Brown he earned it with pure effort and no special luck
+Joshua Brown We share the same name. Greetings.
***** nah, it's no mambo jambo karma magic, he works hard, not only work-wise but in personal relationships, he is the deffinition of "hard work can get you anywhere in life".
+Joshua Brown make no mistake, he did get lucky, but he's an amazingly talented, caring, entertaining, hard working guy. That's why his one moment of luck snowballed into the life he has now, instead of being squandered. He's more than earned it.
Seeing this reawakened the prop obsessed nerd I was as a kid that somehow got away from me later in adolescence
My father worked as a Tool & Die maker for 35 years. And this a fantastic build. Especially the original design. Amazing!”
Adam is a nerd's nerd
+Notics Varus Also, this is one of my favourite weapons in Fallout New Vegas
I'm a total geek too, but only when it comes to weapons such as guns. Guess you can call me a gun nut.
That's a great compliment
How the hell can this guy afford all these OG props??
If you look closely, you can see the missing portion of the alien queen's tail. Easily seen in the film after she falls into the airlock with Ripley. Pretty cool.
He is a TV producer and has collected for a long time. Im hoping in the next year to start a series called prop hunters and get to sit down and talk to legends like this, there is so much I want to know and people want to hear but sadly other then Adam savages channel there isnt much out there on these topics
I've never even seen blade runner, I just watch these videos to see Adams enthusiasm!
+93hickey do your self a favor and rent in HD off amazon or something you wont be disappointed, and when you are watching it remember its a 20 year old film.
+G3oc3nt1c It's actually ~33 years old :)
Bladerunner is pretty slow so it's not for everyone. If you watch it, watch it with the context that it was a first of it's kind.
I fell asleep the first time I watched it but it is worth trying.
+93hickey Need to fix that, its a great film a must see. And it has one of the greatest improvised speeches in film I think.
This is a video that you can keep returning to. It's a great document. This is probably the best film prop ever made.
What if when the dude wasn't looking, Adam swapped the real one with the fake one?
The other guy would have noticed almost instantly. On addition to them being super fucking nerds, even to the untrained eye, the barrel in Adam's blaster is clearly not as dark as the real one.
At 6:50 you can see that Adam’s replica is missing the white cables running up the side of the blaster just along the front of the cylinder.
Adam is genuinely star struck, it is actually heart warming
Thanks for sharing, collecting has taken such a bizarre turn since the Internet opened up, I used to collect vinyl records as a kid, and digging through piles and piles of old records, talking to shop collectors and going to trade shows, finally finding and being able to afford that ONE piece of plastic you had been looking for was exciting enough to last weeks...Today, you just punch up a link, and there it is. Today I collect switchblade knives, there's about maybe 500 collectors nationwide and there is a site for rare switchblades, but I still scour foreign websites and message antique shops and hunting pages for leads, they have them at trade shows, but it isn't the same, since everyone has the same access, it's like collectors used to be secret societies and now they're in the open. I hope that one day these pieces make it to some kind of public display, so many are iconic and would be so appreciated by people all over the world. I walk down Hollywood Boulevard about once a week, if I saw a sign that said "movie props! Blade Runner Gun! LOTR swords! I'd have to stop and see them. Congrats! Do an episode on your entire collection!
Ok that just made my morning. Thanks guys.
Oh my God. To see the original blaster in person. I can only imagine how you felt Adam. I think I'd feel dizzy, Id be that overwhelmed. Thank you for this video 🙏
Too awesome, damn, love that movie.
Dude I would be in tears to hold that prop. The movie means so much to me
"Would you like to HOLD THE PIECE?"
"Whoa, it heavier than mine!"
When he sees the "piece" for the first time it's like he's caressing the Holy Grail. I think it's great that he's is that passionate about something. I guess that's why he is so successful.
I feel like adam should of removed his wedding ring before meeting the gun
I like rewatching this just to share Adam's joy, if only for a moment.
It belongs in a museum
Just bought a 3d printed version on etsy and it's the nicest one I've seen so far. This gun has been on my top most wanted movie weapons since I got to see it on VHS in the early 90s. Damn I love Blade Runner! Now to get Deckard's wallet and badge...yes they make those too!
the jacket is so freaking cool
You're so lucky! Its amazing that even today movie makers dont take detailed notes and measures on their props.
Did anyone else notice at 3.50 when adam makes the gun click the other guy starts breathing heavily 😂😂
I love truly passionate people like Adam. They inspire me and make me believe in humanity.
The look of glee is adorable
It really is such a nice prop. I have one of the NECA replicas that released with a collectors edition of Blade Runner 2049. Obviously nowhere near the level of Adam Savage’s prop or even the Tomenosuke blasters, but as a broke person, it’s the next best thing. Definitely my favourite thing in my movie memorabilia collection.
I'm going to take a second and cover the only thing that likely hasn't been covered by the comments or this video.
I absolutely love that shirt Adam is wearing. Well tailored, great colour and nice subtle inner cuff pattern.
Odd, I know.
It is a nice shirt, but so is his jacket imo
+Zack Young From the pattern on the inner cuffs it looks to be a Paul Smith shirt
+Penta YOOO Tom Hanks' (playing Astronaut Jim Lovell) Apollo 8 jacket from the movie "Apollo 13"
I only paid attention because of your comment, and man, that is one nice shirt.
Bruh the original Blade Runner pistol is shown and you focusing on his outfit smh
Very nice work Adam, I am impressed with the level of detail you achieved without ever having put actual hands on until now. You Sir, are a master craftsman.
"hey what's that?"
(as Adam pulls a switch-a-roo...)
How does this not have more likes???
I love seeing Adam so happy and excited. It's how i'd react to seeing something that meant so much to me. What I like even more about this particular video is that Adam gets to see how close his is to the original. And a little bit of patina and bluing aside his is near perfect. Interestingly given how firearms finishes can change over time depending on storage conditions, etc. Adam's may be closer to how the pistol looked at time of filming :) Either way always love seeing Adam getting a chance to nerd out on a piece of iconic movie stuffs. Whether it's admiring an original or making his own.
He's the one who stole Pee Wee's bike.
Every neighborhood has a Francis.
There’s no basement at the Alamo!
Holy cow, Adam got SO CLOSE! even the guy who owns the original just said that it's "the closest he's ever seen"
i feel like a blade runner evangelist sometimes but just wanna throw the word out there. the blade runner sequel is coming out october 2017. it's directed by denis villeneuve and the cinematography is by roger deakins. the cast has ryan gosling, harrison ford, robin wright, jared leto among others. villeneuve's 'Arrival' is coming out next month.apparently a great sci flick. check out sicario and prisoners as well to get an idea of his directing style.
tiberiius at comic con 2017 San Diego there was a full on building recreating parts from the new Blade Runner movie and they had actors as street people and police etc interacting with you! Noodle bar (and you can eat some), taxi, front of strip club, a full size vehicle, etc.
There's a nice one shot anime called blade runner 2022. It's 12mins and a dip into the blade runner world.
I worked on Bladerunner the original movie I was a Production artist that worked on the pyrimed.
yeah ok
I needed this. The joy he experiences is palpable.
Damn... that guy must be helluva rich! - and why is that Alien queen not behind glass! - jeez these are artifacts that will not drop in value, protect them!The blaster is so cool though, my favourite hero weapon bar none - it's maybe not as recognisable as Robocops gun, or Hellboys gun... but it beautiful - the transparent amber grip is what does it for me.
+stunthumb I am guessing that he took some of them out from somewhere and put them on those tables (they look like they were set up just for this video. I could be wrong but I'm going with that since I would totally agree that some of these should be in display cases.
+stunthumb IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM !!!
+dporiua SO DO YOU!
Such an amazing video. So happy Adam actually got so see the real blaster. Such a genius at his work and it is amazing to see his reaction. Seems like a a fantastic dude.
I am curious where he got the money to put together this amazing collection
he probably works at Walmart and isn't married and only spends money on props
Prolly the place is also a mini museum.
+Rodean Alfante Forcadela (R A F) Probably* prolly is not a word :)
+Will Leonard IT, marketing and sales for Mi-Jack Products started by his father. They're a RTG crane manufacturer. Then he became a photographer. Mostly motor sports, fashion and landscape. He's also a partner at "The Company" where they create TV content.
Neeken thats not a bad job
I'm not super ultra geeky about things like props, but the original Blade Runner was amazing and deserves total respect including the incredible detail of its props and sets.
I know he said "little rick", but I can't help this.
"It's tiny Rick, Wubba lubba dub dubs"!
Tiny Rick in tha houuuuse!
I want to know more about this guy. He’s a legend.
Bad cut at 7:08 but great video! Guess i have to see blade runner...
+Theo Roosevelt you have to, though if you've never seen and enjoyed a very old science fiction movie, it may not be that impressive to you, so don't feel bad if you don't really like it (most people get nostalgia, at the time the standards were another thing)
+Cristian Marturet
I don't get nostalgia, I love the film because it's amazing. Do people really mentally throw classics out the window because they weren't made in the last 10 years? Oh well, Fritz Lang, Eisenstein, Bergman, Hitchcock, Fellini, Tarkovsky you're in the dust bin because some of your films were all scratchy and in black and white.
I swear this generation doesn't know they are born.
Man Beadle I am not from that generation, I was just warning people so the hype doesn't get to them, the hype can always harm what would naturally be an awesome experience (if you want an example, you could just look at what happens all the time with any good game or movie that is hyped nowadays, people shit on them).
Also, I recently turned 22, so this movie isn't from my generation, that doesn't mean that I don't love it (or any other old movie for that matter, heck I even have a few black and white favorites). Though, I cansee where your anger is comming from... this comment was in the hope of opening your mind a little, not everyone with a fault is a dick)
+Theo Roosevelt watch the Director's Cut.
+Theo Roosevelt WHAT?????? OMG... yes you DO!
A speck of bootblack and they'd be near indistinguishable. A testament to your craftmanship.
4:52 and on that day Adam realised that its an actual firing bulldog with a steyr bolt glued to the top
I cringed a little bit when he looked down the barrel
Adam getting it THAT close to the original is actually one miracle of itself.
6:22 - Something About Mary Dog Cast
For all of those of you who didn't know, there's a VR game called horseshoes hotdogs and hand grenades. In the game there is an actual replica of the blade runner gun. It's pretty incredible when you first shoot out a couple of laser rounds. But the designer's didn't stop there they also added explosive and incendiary rounds
No one, literally no one:
Adam: pulls led torch out of his pocket to look down a metal tube.
This comment doesn't really make sense or work here.
This comment sucks
Well that was fun! Two guys really geeking out over something obviously VERY important to both of them.
"That gun" Looks really cool!
See what I did there? No? Aww...
I got it. 👍
Yeah I really love "That Gun"
I tend to use it in most of my play throughs.
i understood that reference :)
That gun is a great beginner weapon i love it
Third favorite gun, next too the ranger sequoia and lucky.
I have just watched Adams videos regarding this gun - My word of advice is don't change your gun. It still looks amazing and it is YOURS.
I wonder if having Adam Savage's fingerprints all over the piece DECREASES the value, or increases it... Hmmm
Please make a whole series with this guy about his collection!
the muzzle of Adam's replica is a lot smaller though compared to the original's.
The prop community would love to see some detailed shots of that blaster. I made a few replicas from kits, but to be able to see the real deal up close in person is a rare thing indeed.
But the LOTR swords though!
I really love watching how much Adam appreciates this experience. Uber nerds are the best!
I'm surprised Adam did not break out a scale, and calipers.
I love how Dan just has the original prop on a fabric flap, THE ORIGINAL, and Adam has his recrearion in a whole case
Aragons sword from LOTR? - This guy is looooaded...
This made me smile just from his genuine excitement
I'm pretty sure there were some fat jokes at about 0:18 seconds
Adam's enthusiasm is always infectious.
2043: Adam? yeah, this is Dane. I know it has been a long time. I'm fine. ok...Adam you know the blade runner blaster is showed you like 30 years ago? sorry man...it was just a replica. I'm sorry for lying but you were so happy...
He's grinning like a little kid hen rolling his sleeves just before seeing the blaster :D Love it!
