Trivia:

  • In July 2000, director Ridley Scott said that Deckard is, in fact, a replicant.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Dustin Hoffman was reputedly the original choice to play Deckard.
     
  • 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.
