Trivia:

  • The title "Blade Runner" was borrowed from a never-produced screenplay by William S. Burroughs.
     
  • In July 2000, director Ridley Scott said that Deckard is, in fact, a replicant.
     
  • The computer screen in Gaff's police spinner shows the same computer sequence (with the word "Purge") that the Nostromo displays in the film Alien (also directed by Ridley Scott).
     
  • Dustin Hoffman was reputedly the original choice to play Deckard.
     
  • The mold used for the rooftop of the Police Headquarters building was originally a mold used in the Special Edition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is the saucer-like ceiling Richard Dreyfuss stands under after he enters the Mothership.
