Yes, but Blade Runner flopped too in 1982. Only moderately successful overseas box office saved it from being a total flop.
It rapidly turned into a loved cult movie, and when the director's cut arrived in 1991, it was only getting in its stride.

back in the day where there was very little green screen work, most of the effects were practical. ridley scott and blade runner is a prime example on how everything had to be designed and imagined and built and ridley had a hand in every aspect of that. balde runner is regarded as a classic, heavens gate a dud.

Thumbs up if you are a film buff and you know that Vilmos Zsigmond is one of the top 10 cinematographers to ever live

True.

Eastwood is still known for his efficiency, typically doing only three takes, at most. This approach makes sense to me. Granted, I'm not a director or an actor but what's really going to be the difference between an actor's performance in take two and take twenty?
I can't get over that commercial! Dear God. That song is stuck in my head!

Kurosawa famously would tear down entire sets if he felt they weren't right and was said to be dictorial in directing but the diffrence was that Kurosawa deliverd the goods. He had a great atention to detail but he was smart enough to trust his insintics as a film maker and not try to micro manage every little thing.
