Cowboy Bebop...on SCIFI

The inspiration for this video was quite unexpected. One day in spring 2001, I was watching the SCIFI channel when a 30 second promo came on about their broadcasting the Wide Screen Directors Cut of the future-noir movie Blade Runner. It suddenly hit me how similar the footage used in the promo and the overall theme of the movie was to Cowboy Bebop (during its more serious moments [debatable]). However, after I decided to commit to the project, SCIFI ceased to broadcast Blade Runner. I waited patiently, constantly monitoring that channels promos and schedules. A full year later, I saw on their schedule that they were going to run the movie again, so I devoted every available moment of my time to watching the channel via my capture card, ready to capture the promo at a moments notice (this was before digital recorders). My patience was rewarded during the end credits of the movie Alien, where they aired the promo for the last (and virtually only) time. Blade Runner aired immediately following this promo.

This video focus's on the similarities between the movie Blade Runner and Cowboy Bebop. Though by now it might be dated I hope it is still enjoyable to watch for others.
