Blade Runner

Trivia: Joanna Cassidy got the role of Zhora after revealing she had experience as a snake handler and, in fact, owned a large Burmese python (that she'd lovingly named 'Darling') which could be used for Zhora's scenes at Taffy Lewis's bar.

Trivia: M. Emmet Walsh (Bryant) came up with the idea of Bryant randomly pulling a bottle of whiskey out of his desk and pouring shots while informing Deckard about the escaped replicants. According to his own words, he imagined Bryant as "a sociopath whose liver was barely functioning after years of abuse, so he now took pleasure in making others do the things he could no longer do, like drinking on the job."

Trivia: There are two deleted scenes where Deckard goes to the hospital and speaks with Holden, who is now on life support after being shot by Leon at the start of the film. These scenes also reveal that Bryant and Gaff are monitoring Deckard's movements very closely, hinting at how Gaff always manages to show up right after Deckard retires one of the replicants.

Trivia: Originally, Tyrell's death scene had a twist: Baty was going to rip open his head, revealing it was full of wires, gears, and synthetic parts. Sebastian would then lead Baty to another room where the real Tyrell would be lying in state, having died years ago and leaving a replicant of himself in charge of his business. This would also explain why Tyrell asked Deckard to VK Rachel instead of him, and also why he was so interested in knowing if the VK test could detect custom-made replicants.

Trivia: The square-shaped whiskey glasses Deckard is shown drinking from are Arnolfo Di Cambio brand, Cibi style double old fashioneds. They've since reappeared in multiple other sci-fi universes (such as Star Trek and the Battlestar Galactica reboot) due to their unique, futuristic design. They're even still manufactured for sale to this day.

Other mistake: When Deckard visits the Tyrell Corporation, he prepares to test Rachel with the "VK" machine. He is shown putting his briefcase of the table and lifting the "VK" machine out and onto the table. If you look closely, the "VK" machine is already on the table and Harrison Ford is miming the lifting - there is nothing in his hands! (00:19:45)

Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die.

More quotes from Blade Runner

Question: When Roy confronts Tyrell, he says something that I'm having difficulty figuring out. The captions read that he is saying "I want more life... father!" But to me, and I've listened to that part over and over trying to figure it out, it sounds like he is saying "I want more life... fucker!" So is he saying Father, or Fucker?

Chosen answer: It's a more complicated question than you might think. Two versions of the scene were filmed, the main one, where Roy says "fucker" and an alternate, originally intended for use on television, where he says "father." Different versions of the movie use different takes. Of the three best known variants, the original theatrical release and the inaccurately-named Director's Cut both use the "fucker" line, whereas the Final Cut, the only one that Ridley Scott had full control over, uses the "father" line. What he's saying will depend on which version of the movie you were watching. Only you can answer that one.
