#1. BLADE RUNNER was such a rough shoot, the crew started calling it "Blood Runner."

#2. A model of the Millennium Falcon was used to build the L.A. cityscape.

#3. Edward James Olmos' Gaff speaks in a dialect of the actor's own creation: "cityspeak," a mix of English, Korean, Hungarian and dodgy Japanese.

#4. Nearly every company featured in BLADE RUNNER is bankrupt or out of biz today: Atari, Pan Am, and the Bell System to name a few.

#5. When Harrison Ford signed on, the script's long expository narration was cut at his request.

#6. Rutger Hauer was cast without a single reading, so he showed up on set in pink satin pants and a sassy sweater to give Ridley Scott a jolt.

#7. Dustin Hoffman was almost a sure bet to play Deckard - his likeness is even visible in early storyboards.
