20 Things You Didn't Know About Blade Runner
5. The Police Offices Built For The Film Are Still In Practical Use Today
Los Angeles' beautiful Union Station is an oft-used cinematic backdrop, and has been refitted for a great deal of films over the years: it was a movie studio in Hail, Caesar!, Jonathan Crane's courthouse in The Dark Knight Rises and as a villain's lair in that crap Charlie's Angels sequel.
In Blade Runner, the building doubles as the police station that Deckard is brought into early in the story. However, the police offices where the scene takes place were built specifically for the film. Union Station officials agreed to give the crew a discount if they would build the set to stand permanently, thus allowing the new rooms to remain in place as station offices which are still used to this day.
