OK BSG Fans -- I was attempting to broaden my sons horizons by educating him on the classic SciFi flicks. I came across a SciFi classic that uses the term "skinjobs" to refer to artifical intelligences created by Man, who are indistiguishable from men. I didn't even remember this at all from my earlier viewings and was blown away! I haven't seen this movie since I began watching BSG.... holy cow!
Name the movie.

Yeah, Google leads you straight to Replicants in wiki which references Blade Runner right away.

Googling is No Fair!
I really didnt remember
Blade Runner referring to them as
skin jobs. I wonder if RDM lifted this or if it was independantly thought of....

Didn't need to Google it. I figured it was a tribute to Blade Runner.
