Harry Canyon

Harry Canyon is the titular protagonist in the sequence of the same name. Harry is a cab-driver in a futuristic New York City.

During the events of this chapter, Harry meets "the Girl", the daughter of a professor who finds the Loc-Nar on an alien planet and brings it to the NY Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.

A Venusian criminal named Rudnick desires the Loc-Nar, and kills the professor during a dispute. This results in a face-off against the criminals, which culminates in a noir-like fashion.

Trivia

 * In the 20th Anniversary release of Heavy Metal, it was mentioned in the Special Features that British director Ridley Scott had watched Heavy Metal prior to his involvement in Bladerunner, perhaps influencing his vision of Los Angeles in the movie.
 * The presentation of Harry Canyon (a cab driver meeting a mysterious girl in a futuristic city, along with flying vehicles) bore a striking similarity to The Fifth Element.
