The Queen Mary ship in Long Beach, California was the site of the disco interiors, including a practical swimming pool that was drained, lit from below, and covered with a plexiglass floor to create the disco's private art gallery. The ship's bar also doubled as a New York bar. Producer Harold Schneider said "Ridley's different. No one can do what he does. The Queen Mary has been photographed hundreds of times, but never the way Ridley photographed it for this film. His vision is awe-inspiring". Scott explained: "I had looked at the Queen Mary for Blade Runner (1982) and I remembered the architecture. The design, the detail, the veneer and the paneling of the ship. It was magnificent. I wanted something glossy, unique, and interesting to represent this gallery disco at the beginning of the film. As soon as I saw the swimming pool of the Queen Mary, I thought 'This could easily be the basement of one of New York's art deco buildings'. We covered the pool with a plexiglass floor and created an art gallery bar".
