One scene I could not make sense of in this film is: How could K run through a solid concrete wall in the scene where Decard is trying to escape in his old Spinner? Did he shoot his way through with his gun,maybe? I don't know. Did I miss something..
shareI am 100% positive he didn’t use a gun. He ran right through that wall and did so easily.
How did he possibly do that then? I think the only (obvious) explanation to this, is K is a replicant and the strength and ability of replicants is far superior to that of humans. Sure he gets knocked out by a blast a few moments later, but unlike when he went bursting through that wall, I suppose he did not prepare his body for that impact. Assuming for some “logical” reason he was impacted by both things differently, maybe he did experience the effects of going through that wall by the time he was left there? No, I just think the force was felt differently.
If it was simply an unexplainable show of replicant strength, either way I like it. It shows the difference between him and Deckard. That is, K is clearly not your average man (if he were he would have sustained some injuries at the beginning or in other scenes throughout the film), whereas Deckard’s actions in this sequel and the original are decidedly human. Not getting into the whole “is Deckard a replicant or not” debate.
Yeh it's stupid. He got superman powers for that scene.
That wall was not just a regular concrete wall, it looked about 2 feet thick, a solid stone wall with outer layer. You can see that in the later shot after explosion, he gets flung back to the hole in wall, and we see how thick that wall is. It makes no sense that he could just run through that, even with more strength.
If he's that strong, the blast would not have damaged him at all, but he basically gets knocked out by the blast, seconds after running through a stone wall like its butter.
This is about the only scene I would change in this movie. I didn't think it for well.
shareAs others have said, replicants are much stronger than humans and clearly now K is immensely strong even for a replicant.
What has not been mentioned is that, if K is half human and half replicant (Deckard's son), then in fact are human replicant hybrids the most strongest of all?
Immense strength doesn't make this possible. K is still basically human, although much enhanced. His muscle and bone density would be greater, but not orders of magnitude so. He can still sit in ordinary chairs without collapsing them, ride in aerial vehicles without overloading them, etc. As a rough estimate, I'd say he can't weigh more than about twice what an ordinary human being would weigh, at most. But hell, let's say he weighs four times as much. So if that's the case, he's roughly an 800lb man running at a speed (in that scene) of, let's say 30mph (which beats Usain Bolt's top speed by a couple of miles per hour, but hey, he's superhuman right? -- even so, he's visibly not running any faster than that in this scene).
It's hard to judge the thickness of that wall; they don't show it clearly, but it's clearly a thick security wall, because it's got a heavy-duty, steel security door set into it. So say, six inches or more thickness of concrete.
Yeah, even an 800lbs man, running at 30mph is just going to bounce off that. He might crack it, but he's not going to tear through it like it was paper, the way we see K do. And at K's more realistic 200-300lb weight....
For realism, they should have made that an ordinary wall, with an ordinary, though perhaps heavy door.
