Blade Runner (1982)
25 Jun 1982 ● English ● 1 hr 56 mins
This futuristic, sci-fi thriller depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019, in which genetically engineered organic robots called replicants, which are visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation as well as by other "mega-corporations" around the world. Their use on Earth is banned and replicants are exclusively used for dangerous, menial, or leisure work on off-world colonies.
Replicants who defy the ban and return to Earth are hunted down and "retired" by special police operatives known as "Blade Runners". The plot focuses on a desperate group of recently escaped replicants hiding in Los Angeles and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment to hunt them down.

Goofs:
Revealing Mistakes
In the scene where Roy Batty, and Leon enter "Eye World" to interrogate Hannibal Chew, the environment is supposed to be so cold that it will kill Hannibal without his protective suit, yet there is water dripping from the icicles on the ceiling.
Continuity
In the scene where we see Zhora getting dressed after her shower, her boots have high heels. However, when Deckard is chasing her the heels are flat. This is most obvious when she rolls over after he shoots her.
Character Error
The sheet music that Rachael reads does not match the song that she plays on the piano (not least because it is for guitar). She is seen that she be playing from memory and not referring to the music at all.
Audio/Video Mismatch
The note that Deckard plays on the grand piano scene is not the note we hear.
Audio/Video Mismatch
In the scene where Rachael is playing, the keys she presses don't match the music we hear. The piano sound is in C major, but the picture shows her pressing black keys.
Audio/Video Mismatch
In the scene where Sebastian is talking to Batty about his chess game with Tyrell, the shot is focused on Batty, but Sebastian's chin and lower lip are visible, and you can see that it does not move in sync with the words you can hear him saying.

Trivia:
Joanna Cassidy was at ease with the snake around her neck because it was her pet, which is a Burmese python named Darling.
When Deckard stops Rachael from leaving his apartment, he pushes her away from him. The expression of pain and shock on her face was real. She said Ford pushed her too hard and she was angry with him.
To the fact, Ridley Scott's first cut ran four hours.
The 'snake scale' seen under the electron microscope scene was actually a marijuana bud.
The screenplay was originally written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is a modified film adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.
