Kurt Russell's MacReady from John Carpenter's The Thing would easily have been my very first - and therefore most beloved - antihero were it not for...
...Rutger Hauer's Roy Batty from Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
Ironically, both movies were released on the same day: June 25th, 1982. There was so much hype about the gore in The Thing, that sneaking in to see Blade Runner (also rated R) was a bit easier.
Interestingly, Blade Runner is still my most cherished science fiction film.
