Pulling a Deckard


“pulling a deckard”: the art of shooting someone defenseless in the back, particularly if they are running away from the shooter.
i came up with this one myself; it is a reference to a sequence in the 1982 movie ‘blade runner’, where deckard (harrison ford) pursues and guns down the ‘zhora’ replicant (joanna c-ssidy).

“pulling a deckard” may also be used in past tense, for example:
“whoa, did you see that cop? he just pulled a deckard!!”
but it may not be used in future tense.

this is a fun one to use when watching other action films; it may also be used if a knife is thrown into someone’s back, rather than them having been shot.
