Line 23:
== [[Film]] ==
* Used by Owen Wilson as the titular character in ''[[Drillbit Taylor]]''.
* In the film ''[[Soldier]]'', Kurt Russell's character is a veteran of the Battle of Tannhauser Gate. This and several other details were meant to tie ''Soldier'' into the same [[The Verse|'verse]] as ''Blade Runner''. (The screenwriter, [[David Peoples]], was a co-writer of ''Blade Runner''.)
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 29:
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* An episode of ''[[Babylon 5]]'' features symbiotic slugs that preserve memories from long-dead races. One of them, just before dying, gives a speech about "The things I've seen" that is strongly reminiscent of Batty's speech.
* A comedic example: Joel McHale on ''[[The Soup]]'' used this trope to make fun of Nancy Grace's Swift Justice on the 1/28/2011 episode.
Line 37:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* 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).
* In the [[Fantasy World Map|space fantasy maps]] of [[Warhammer
** Most famously the Cadian Gate, the only safe route out of the Eye of Terror and the site of the biggest and most horrendous space battles in existence.
Line 48:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[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.
* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', Antimony is briefly seen reading a [[Fictional Document|book]] named ''Tannhauser Gate''.
* ''[[The Noob]]'' riffs on Batty's final speech [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=6 here].
