Does anyone think it was bizzare that hooker wanted to meet up with him when he got out of prison.I mean did she have a good time that night?when he beat up her pimp and came prematurely?was that a good night for her?

I think you are correct that she felt safe with the replicant and that is why she told him to contact her when she gets out. Plus, I also think she liked him as well.

she didn't think it was weird that he acted like he was retarded and had one handcuffed hand either...
shareNot at all. The Replicant has demonstrated that he's an essentially decent person despite being physically dangerous. She also went out of her way to solicit his custom so she finds him at least more physically attractive than her typical clientele.
Maybe also the working girl realized that he's essentially a blank slate/completely plastic; someone she can mold (even if she didn't get that he hasn't ever been properly socialized*, she could still have the belief that being-his-first makes him that much more malleable). Much better having him around as protection instead of her-current/a-traditional pimp, no? Maybe turn madam herself once the Replicant earns a reputation and other service providers start flocking to her and offering a cut to get what she got.
*this is one of those much-more-frequent-than-you'd-expect movies where JCVD does credible acting and it works - I totally bought that he was like a 5-9 year old child, especially when they were at the park. The early reaction to violence, too, was believable although I expect something somewhat different IRL. The cliched "treat others as you would want to be treated" trope could have been lame and stupid and heavy handed, but the it was OK here. Done better than most, even. Rooker isn't an A-list actor, despite being in TWD (2010), but he was also in "The Replacement Killers" (1998) - which he sleepwalked through or maybe Ringo Lam just made much better use of him.
