Changes: Taffey Lewis

Revision as of 15:08, 22 May 2019

Taffey Lewis was the owner of The Snake Pit in the Fourth Sector.

Used to policemen and having little time for them, when Deckard tried to ask him about his use of artificial snakes, Taffey denied using them, claiming he only used real ones. Deckard's threats did not wash with him and he dismissed Deckard with a free drink before leaving.^[1]

Behind the Scenes

Taffey was played by Hy Pyke.

Although Ridley Scott is a notorious perfectionist when it comes to shooting and reshooting scenes, Hy Pyke managed to play Taffey perfectly in one take. It was also Hy Pyke's suggestion that Taffey Lewis sit at the bar. Pyke, being a comedian, observed that club owners would sit at the end of the bar, calling it their "power position."

-Deckard invites [[Rachael]] to join him, but she says it's not her kind of place. Deckard then sees [[Zhora]] and waits for her backstage, before gaining access to her (shared) dressing room through a quickly thought-up deception. After she discovers Deckard's intentions, she attempts to murder Deckard, but escapes after she's interrupted by the other dancers. After a chase through [[Los Angeles]], Deckard shoots her two times, killing her.
