Corrected entry: Wallace is obsessed with obtaining the secret to making replicants able to procreate so he can dramatically increase production of replicants. Given he is depicted as already able to produce them in an adult form and can implant memories of events and skills, this doesn't make any sense. Apparently his process is so slow, inefficient and expensive that it would be more effective to raise and educate infant replicants into adulthood than it would be to make them as he currently does - but he also claims to have created millions of replicants who are widely used for cheap labor and who were disposable enough that he stabbed one to death to prove a point.

Correction: Wallace is limited by the finite resources to artificially produce replicants on the dying Earth. Being able to produce replicants through biological reproduction would effectively allow him to create replicants from nothing, just as humans are created. Being able to create replicants without expending any resources would allow production to explode, leading to Wallace's ultimate goal of further expanding colonization.

Corrected entry: It is shown that since Joi is a hologram, she can not touch or interact physically with objects and if she does she will fade through them. This is shown when K is analysing the DNA, where she passes through K to read the DNA with him, and when she fades through the hooker to allow K to have sex with her. However, in the scene where she and K go to visit Dr. Badger to have the wooden horse analysed, Joi is shown placing her hand on the door frame, and does not pass through it. (01:35:00)

Correction: Simple enough for a hologram to place her hand on a doorframe - she's not touching it or putting any pressure on it, she's just mimicking a natural movement someone with a physical form could do.

Blade Runner 2049 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When K is cornered by the scavengers, he gets out of the car after they cut the door open. In the shot of one of the scavengers running up to K to attack him, nothing is hanging out of the car door. K then breaks the scavenger's back with his knee and the seat belt is suddenly hanging out of the door. (01:02:45)

File Clerk: Everyone remembers where they were at the blackout. You?
K: That was a little before my time.
File Clerk: I was home with my folks. Then ten days of darkness. Every machine stopped cold. When the lights came back, we were wiped clean. Photos, files, every bit of data. Gone. Bank records, too. Didn't mind that. It's funny only paper lasted. I mean, we had everything on drives. Everything, everything, everything. My mom still cries over the lost baby pictures.
K: Well, it's a shame. You must have been adorable.

Answer: Think of any manufacturing process. Samples of new products are frequently created and then immediately destroyed. Also, the new replicant would require processing, training, etc. It was simpler for him to just dispose of the test.

Answer: He was being violently petulant at the moment, angry that he couldn't create and control the birth that he just learned occurred with older-model replicants and seeing his new creation as "flawed" by design. Pretty villainous, he cares nothing for the replicants.
