Trivia: Rutger Hauer was never convinced that Replicants were truly people, as he said in 2015 about the movie's ending: "Frankly, I thought Deckard was a little sick, because he ran away with a vibrator that looked like a woman."

Trivia: Daryl Hannah is a skilled gymnast (check out the casual ease with which she does a backflip while talking to Sebastian) and under normal conditions was perfectly capable of performing the rapid flips seen during her fight scene with Deckard, but by then she was too sore and exhausted to pull them off perfectly. This is partly why they resorted to using a male stunt double in this scene, he was the only one immediately available who could do those flips exactly as needed.

Trivia: When filming the scene where Roy confronts Tyrell, Rutger Hauer surprised Joe Turkel by kissing him on the lips, an unscripted action. Ever the professional, Turkel rolled with it and even gave Hauer a surprise of his own: by slipping in his tongue.

Trivia: Harrison Ford has said that director Ridley Scott used "psychological manipulation" on Sean Young. While he refused to get specific, some of Young's complaints that the cast and crew (Ford especially) seemed to hate her for no apparent reason echo Sigourney Weaver's experience on Alien, in which Ridley Scott instructed the other cast members to act rude to her in order to affect her performance. Young has said she felt her treatment on set was tantamount to abuse and hated working on the film.
