"zoom in, enhance" feature much mocked about on TV crime shows Actually, those jokes refer to a scene in Blade Runner : [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Yes in the 3 minute scene there were multiple indications from the picture to indicate: Chinatown (food/texts), the girls outfit (being a dancer), and an identifying tattoo. Which would point to only a few dance clubs in the city. It was also a connection to the artificial snake scale being found in the bath tub that happened to be rare and only created by a few possible engineers. Engineers who work on robotics. One Chinatown engineer happened to be employed by the people he was looking for, who were robots in need of an engineer... Not a far fetched connection by Hollywood's standards. [VIDEO]
