Jimbokav1971 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Sorry for b!***!n' 'bout this, but I believe the hanger in question were at the Van Nuys Airport, which is within the city limits of LA.. (I really want my point :p )https://www.google.no/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=where+is+the+hangar+used+in+the+opening+sequence+of+Blade+Runner+located - The 5th link, Douglas Trumbull, as you can see on the google page, it says "(...) California, and inside an airplane hangar at the Van Nuys airport in the San Fernando Valley." - However, I cannot find this exact sentence when I click the link, so I cannot provide conclusive evidence, only "circumstantial" as they would say on "Columbo" or "CSI".. Computer says no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Sorry to be a pain in the ass myself but sheppeeton studios was used for post production and model shots. http://www.thestudiotour.com/productions.php?id=04 Doesn't specify the opening scene but as it was a model, it might have been there...which was my answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 But as there is no clear answer, I feel we should agree to void that question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 My answer to the Blade Runner question was..... Tokyo, so as I do not have a vested interest in the answer, (well it's not Tokyo is it), then my opinion is that if it is agreed that the opening shot was actually of a model, (that's for others to decide), and if it is agreed that the model shots for the film were taken at Shepperton Studios in Middx, (I think it is), then Shepperton/Middx should be the correct answer.

Maaka Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The IMDb page for Blade Runner filming locations doesn't list Van Nuys Airport, it lists the Warner Brothers Burbank studios (several stages) for unspecified scenes, and it lists Shepperton studios in Shepperton, Surrey. As Burbank is a city in Los Angeles county, and since none of us can say where this scene where filmed (this particular model were not your regular "model shot", so there's no conclusive evidence that it took place in Shepperton), I think that Burbank, Los Angeles, Shepperton and Surrey (and Middlesex) should count as valid answers (or as Pompey states, the question in question should be voided.) It's really up to the round's host, or the "lord almighty" (Delta) of this thread to decide... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaka Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 But now I've been bit***n' about this for approx. 2 hrs, and since I've gotta be at work at 6:00 in the morning (CET, it's 23:00 here now), I really gotta let it go, and go to bed. I believe in y'all to find the right solution to this case , and look forward to the next round, which hopefully will be here sometime tomorrow.

Wavelberry Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I reckon that we agree that the question was a poor one but it's happened now and in the grand scheme of things we should probably not quibble that much over a point or two especially as it was an honest mistake. Else I could always take the nuclear option of voiding points of all critics like some kind of mad dictator (also why nobody is out youtubing Shaun Bartlett's goal rather than being here is beyond me).
