Trivia: During their fight scene, Harrison Ford accidentally punched Ryan Gosling in the face, and the moment was caught on camera. The incident became something of a meme and was talked about all over talk shows and in interviews. To make up for it, Ford invited Gosling to have fun and share a nice bottle of whiskey with him after filming the scene.

Trivia: The initial workprint of the film was almost four hours long. At one point, the studio tinkered with splitting the workprint up into two parts, which would have been released a year apart, similar to movies like "Kill Bill" or "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." However, director Denis Villeneuve instead cut the film down to a much more palatable 2 hours and 45 minutes, and it was released as one movie.
