Line 32:
* ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' strip [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0548.html 548], General Grievous' [[Final Speech]] quotes Roy Batty's, including the line about Tannhäuser Gate, more or less verbatim.
* A Christmas issue of ''[[Deadpool]]'' ends with the villain (dressed as Santa) trying to sway Deadpool from killing him by reciting Roy Batty's final lines. Deadpool knows enough about pop culture that the attempt just makes him angry and he kills the guy anyway.

* In ''[[Recettear]]'', one fellow is out at night looking at constellations, and "Tannhauser Gate" is one of them.
* The various ''[[Heavy Gear]]'' franchise elements use what seems to be an elaboration of the Bladerunner version as their interstellar drive. Heavily traveled routes have stations that open the gate (which is cheaper) and larger ships have their own equipment for opening the gates (which is more flexible, and essential on exploration or military vessels).
