Run Run Run is one of the main investors in this film.
It is rumored that the first candidate to play Decade is Dustin Hoffman, while Prius's first candidate is Deborah Harry.
During the filming of Prius’s attack on Deckard, the crew hired a gymnast as a stand-in, but the director rehearsed too many times before the official filming, so that the female athlete was exhausted. The crew had to hire another male athlete to shoot. This shot.
Philip K. Dick claimed that the screens of the film were exactly the same as he had imagined when he was writing, while Ridley Scott said that he had never read the original.
Because the film was filmed under extremely high work intensity, the crew members who were often tired jokingly called the film "Blood Runner".
At the end of the film, the scene of Deckard and Rachel driving in the countryside is taken from an unused scene by Stanley Kubrick in The Shining.
The opening scene was thought to have been shot at the ICI chemical plant in Wilton, England, but it was actually a miniature landscape model nicknamed "Hades".
In 1982, big multimedia criticized the film a lot, including the famous American film critic Siskel & Ebert. 10 years later, the two changed their original intentions and praised "Blade Runner".
The film is adapted from Philip Dick’s novel "A Robot Dreams of an Electronic Sheep", but the title is derived from Alan North’s novel of the same name. Later, William Ballos adapted the novel into a screenplay. Ridley Scott I bought the naming rights for shooting this film. In William Barros's book, "blade runner" refers to a person who illegally sells surgical instruments.
The design of Dickard’s residence was inspired by the masterpiece of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis-Brown House.
When Deckard prevented Rachel from leaving his residence, Deckard pushed Rachel aside. The audience could see that Rachel’s painful and shocked expression was very real, because Harrison Ford moved too hard at the time. Sean Young was offended.
In a 2004 survey conducted by the British "Guardian", 60 scientists believed that "Blade Runner" was the best science fiction film in film history, and its reputation even surpassed "2001: A Space Odyssey."
The eye-making laboratory in the film is actually a meat processing workshop. It took the crew two weeks to bring its temperature to minus 4 degrees (frozen too fast would crack the concrete walls), and finally, two-foot-long icicles appeared on the roof.
The police station was filmed at Union Station in Los Angeles. The buildings there are surprisingly large, and there are many artistic decorations and neo-fascist styles. But the crew made a huge mistake when building Bryant's office: they built it at the door of the women's bathroom, so that every time the rehearsal, the old lady politely asked about the use of the bathroom.
The police uniforms are all original, equipped with helmet-mounted computer surveillance equipment, and have their own light sources.
During the filming process, Ridley Scott showed the crew members a picture of the famous painting "Nighthawk" by painter Edward Hope, hoping to let them understand the artistic conception to be created by the film.
In this film, Roy Batty has a classic line: The things I have seen, you humans are absolutely unbelievable. I witnessed the battleship catching fire on the edge of the Orion constellation. I looked at the C-ray, shining in the darkness near Don Wise's Gate. All these moments will eventually be lost in time. Like tears, disappear in the rain. The moment of death has arrived.
In 1982, when the film was released, it was forced into a happy ending by the producer, which caused director Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford to hate it very much. Harrison Ford even admitted that he did not do his best when dubbing the film later, because he believed that "this is not an integral part of the film." Later, Warner Corporation launched a director's cut version in 1992, but Ridley Scott did not approve of this "director's cut version."
