[[File:Holden.jpg|thumb|Blade Runner Davidleft|Dave Holden]]Dave Holden is the blade runner assigned to test new employees at the Tyrell Corporation on the premise that the escaped replicants might try to infiltrate the company in the hopes of extending their four-year lifespans. However, Holden underestimates the [[Nexus-6]] [[Replicant]]; new replicants are difficult to detect even with the [[Voight-Kampff machine|Voight-Kampff test]]. [[File:Holden_and_Leon.jpg|thumb|left|Holden and Leon]]During the test, Leon becomes noticeably agitated at Holden's questions. He pulls out a gun and shoots the officer, who is left in critical medical condition. Leon escapes. Close examination shows that despite presumably being injured by Leon's first shot, Holden managed to draw his pistol, before Leon's second shot crippled him and sent him crashing into a desk.

There were two hospital scenes with Holden and Deckard in the film, but these were cut out, explained by director Ridley Scott as being extraneous and perhaps distracting. The scenes have been included in the latest DVD editions of the film released in December of 2007.
