Every Time Hollywood Re-Used Expensive Props

17. Blade Runner’s Neon Signs

Also Appears In: One From The Heart (1983)
Estimated Savings: (cost to make one from scratch)

Futuristic cult classic Blade Runner certainly made the most out of neon signs, dotting them all over the place to make the set look like something much more advanced. The signs didn’t go to waste after shooting wrapped, at least in part.

Francis Ford Coppola used them when making the Vegas-based movie One From The Heart. Sadly, the signs didn’t save the romantic musical endeavor as it took a measly $636,796 against a $26 million budget, becoming one of the director’s worst received films.
