BR: disappearing VK logo + Holden gets his gun!

[Birdie]

For fans of Blade Runner minutaie...

I've been frantically capping while working on my VK machine, and spotted a couple of things I've not noticed before:

VK machine with logo badge like the ones on Deckard's case (just left of screen):



Badge disappears:



I also never realised Holden managed to pull his gun:

Nice finds. I never realised Holden drew his blaster either. Will look for that one next time.

I think the shot where you can see holden's blaster is one of the changes for the Final Cut version.

I know you can see Holden's blaster in the '91 Director's Cut. It's a quick shot, just like the Final Cut.

Watch the scene again:
Notice the subtle actions after Holden asks Leon the question about "the tortoise".

There's a quiet blipping sound, and Holden looks down at the VK machine. Holden knows at that moment for certain that Leon's a skin-job, his face says it. He then hammers Leon with the question, and gets kinda cocky, "It's just a test... shall we continue."

Leon realizes he's been caught and leans forward, reading his pistol under the table. And so does Holden. When he asks about Leon's "mother", they're both leaning forward reading their weapons. It was just a matter of who was going to shoot first.
