A few years before Blade Runner, Harrison Ford had starred in a little known space opera by the name of Star Wars, in which his character piloted the iconic Millennium Falcon. Interestingly, the Falcon can be seen in some early scenes in Blade Runner. Even more interestingly, it isn't being used as an airborne vehicle - it's a building, of all things.

Many of the miniature Los Angeles sets for the film are made up of miscellaneous items, dressed to look like overdesigned futuristic structures. The Falcon is one of these, and can just be made out (once you know it's there), both when the huge Asian billboard can be seen, and more prominently in the foreground when Deckard and Gaff make their descent to the Los Angeles police building.
