Trivia
Rutger Hauer was offered a driver to get him to the set and back each day, but he was okay with driving himself to cut down on costs. He rented the Cadillac of Maximilian Schell for six months for this purpose.
Quotes
Female announcer over intercom:
Next subject: Kowalski, Leon. Engineer, waste disposal. File section: New employee, six days.
Goofs
(at around 47 mins) When the street vendor is examining the snake scale, the serial number she reads out loud doesn't match the number on her video screen (corrected in the 2007 "Final Cut" of the movie; the graphic now matches her dialogue). Additionally, she never removes the scale from the plastic bag in which it resides when Deckard gives it to her. There is no conceivable way that any microscope could produce such a clear image through plastic. We can only guess at advances in plastic and microscope technology by the time the movie is set.
Crazy Credits
In the "happy ending" Theatrical/International cuts, the credits play over the gorgeous scenery. In later Director/Final cuts, they play over a normal black background.
Alternate Versions
All U.S video tape releases before January 1993 are the unrated version and contain the extra violence in the Euro-release that's not seen in the 117 minute American theatrical release:
- When Roy attacks Tyrell we clearly see him pushing his thumbs into Tyrell's eyes, and blood spurting out
- When Pris (Daryl Hannah) attacks Deckard, she reaches down and grabs him by the nostrils
- When Deckard shoots Pris, he shoots 3 times instead of 2
- When Roy pushes the nail through his hand, there is a shot of the nail coming through the skin on the other side.
