Thor's Day Hero: Rick Deckard


This is the second week in a row an inducted member into the Thor's Day Heroes is shown using chopsticks! Having a little snack here is replicant hunter Rick Deckard, also known as a 'blade runner'.

Dystopian Los Angeles of 2019 (just six years from now!) is still a pretty decent place to raise a family, well, except for the renegade androids running around. Bring in the no-nonsense, straight shooting character excellently portrayed by Harrison Ford and you've got both a great movie and a new member to Thor's Day Heroes! Deckard of course would brook no such fanfare, he's just doing his job after all.

  1. Harrison Ford was cyberpunk before cyberpunk was cool. Anyway, the movie didn't do well at all on release in the box office. It became one of those cult classics that only really hit it big after video release.

    1. I was pretty young when I saw this but knew there was something special about it. Watching it now as an adult it more than holds it own today.

  2. He was a low key, placid hero but still a hero...a lucky one!

    1. Low key and placid I think is what appeals to me the most about this character. Thanks for stopping by Fran!

  4. Hey, I just got it. This week's Thor's day and last week's both feature heroes eating with chopsticks! Two of my favorites, too.
