Blade Runner

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 are still manufactured for sale to this day.

Audio problem: Deckard investigates the maker of artificial reptiles; an Abdul somebody. It's obvious that the dialogue was added as neither actor is in sync with the sound. The end of the scene has the storekeeper's voice telling Deckard the information he was seeking while Deckard's mouth is the one moving. Deckard's mouth continues to move even after Abdul's lines are finished and the scene cuts. This has been corrected in the 2007 Final Cut of the film, but exists in all previous versions. (00:48:45)
