Trivia:
|
- Dustin Hoffman was reputedly the original choice to play Deckard.
- The building used in the final chase scene between Decker and Roy, the Bradbury, was the same building used in the 1964 episode of the original Outer Limits titled 'The Demon With a Glass Hand' starring Robert Culp.
- The title "Blade Runner" was borrowed from a never-produced screenplay by William S. Burroughs.
- The end of the chess game in which Sebastian, with help from Batty, defeats Tyrell, is inspired by the real-life "Immortal Game" (so-called) in which Adolf Anderssen beat Lionel Kieseritzky in London in 1851.
- In the sequence where Deckard and Gaff approach police headquarters in a spinner, a model of the Millennium Falcon (Harrison Ford's spaceship in Star Wars), disguised as a building, can be seen in the lower left corner of the frame. The model was a personal project of one of the film's model builders, and was used as a building at the last minute.
