Trivia:
|
- 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.
- Exasperated crews often referred to the film as "Blood Runner".
- Blade Runner was given poor ratings by most critics in 1982, including Siskel & Ebert. In 1992, the two critics re-evaluated their attitudes toward the film and gave it two enthusiastic thumbs-up.
- The opening sequence was a shot of the I.C.I. Chemical Plant in Wilton, Teesside, UK - very close to Ridley Scott's (and Tony Scott) place of birth.
- 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.
