When does it NOT rain in this movie?

Deckard is forced back into his role of Blade Runner to take care of a group of Replicants

I know the future is bleak, with the ice caps melted, sunlight choked off by industrial smoke and all the forest animals hacked to death for meat, but does the weather have to be lousy all the time? Take an umbrella and slicker if you're traveling to 2025.

When the door slams shut behind you, you know something bad is going to happen.

Batty's famous speech at the end of the film.

Deckard's computer can show parts of a room not in the original photograph.

The unsentimental view of crime. Used mainly to describe detectives.

She's a replicant. He's a replicant. Hell, the main point is that people are replicants.

At the end of the movie the protagonist will hop on a horse and ride off into the sunset.

Adding a massive and impossible amount of rain to a setting adds to the feeling of despair and foreboding nature. Combined with an urban setting and you have instant noir and depression!

bad dude saves Deckard from falling at the end

A ton of movies have a very cliche scene where somebody ends up falling to what would seem to be inevitable death, be it off a building, a cliff, or what have you. Naturally, our timely protagonist (not always the case, however...) manages to dive and grab the falling persons hand just in time, saving them.

Robots and computers have feelings. Can't you accept that they want to be just like us?

Harrison Ford narrates as Deckard in the original theatrical cut

You're a thief, con man, scoundrel of some professional ilk, and you're getting a little long in the tooth. Retirement seems the correct course, but someone presents you with one more job so tempting, you just can't pass it up.

Clearly the best way to catch someone by surprise is to punch through the wall they are right behind.

When a hero is defeated, defenseless and completely at the will of their nemesis the bad guy has a terrible habit of finding their gift for gab right then and there, revealing the entire nefarious scheme and usually allowing the protagonist to rally or notice a convenient trap door.

Will Deckard and Rachel escape? Probably not, but it's left unresolved.
