    People argue the Alien and Blade Runner universes are connected. I don’t remember the arguments off the top of my head but they are pretty easy to find online.

    It seemed like a lot of Easter eggs though. Kind of like finding Duke Nukem’s body appearing in Serious Sam 2

      There are a lot of connections that Ridley Scott added in. My headcanon is that Blade Runner is set in the future of Alien once Androids like David or Ash become more common.

      Tyrell Corp = Weyland-Yutani, basically.

        And in the pilot of Firefly, during the Battle of Serenity Valley, the cannon that Malcolm Reynolds briefly mans bears a Weyland-Yutani logo.

        Predator, Aliens, Blade Runner, and Firefly are all in the same Universe.
