Fascinating explanation of how the opening sequence to Blade Runner was created.
It always amazes me how clever special-effects teams were before computers took over. Towards the end of the movie, the designer explains that the explosions, filmed on a black background, are actually real projected onto glass screens, while a light in the ceiling illuminates the city around. Very cool.
