Escape From New York/Blade Runner Connection (excerpt):
According to IMDb's Escape From New York trivia page, the model of the city set was repainted and reused for Blade Runner (1982). The documentary Sense of Scale (2012) about movie miniature model-FX artists and their work as well as a RPF forum page called Escape From New York miniatures containing screenshots from this doc-film clears it up. It was the wireframe model-sets made for the computer graphics on the display screens in the movie they used in early pre-production for Blade Runner to experiment with the look of the city. Mark Stetson worked on this movie as well. The buildings were most likely used in the art department only (Escape From NY & LA Page Jan-18-2014).
