Well now this was new to me. I've never suspected anything like this, but I thought about the unicorn and what it would possibly mean.
But if Decard is a replicant, why doesn't he have as much physical force than others of his kind? Could it be that his forces are kind of "locked up" because he doesn't know his true existence?
That revealement definitely brings up tons of questions. If I ever met Ridley Scott, I'd ask him about these things.

It was mentioned in the Movie that Deckard never took the test - now here's the big question... If Deckard WAS a Replicant - did he know?  |

If he was the fifth replicant un-accounted for how didn't they know or recognise each other? Would he really kill his own kind? was his memory wiped? how did he end up working for the police? |

More info on Deckard as a replicant HereWell you never get too old to learn something new. I guess I'll watch Blade Runner with new eyes from now on. Just thinking, replicant's technology must be highly sophisticated, because Decard eats during the film. Where does the food (or liquor) go? Do replicants have guts and stomach? Lots of things I'd want to know. |

replicants are flesh and blood - not machines.

replicants are flesh and blood - not machines. I guess that's the whole idea of Blade Runner, the thin line between a man and a replicant. But after all, replicants are artificial. Therefore if they have a heart, guts, stomach and all the other organs, they must be made with a higly advanced technology. That is what I meant. By the way, I didn't use the word machine... but because replicants are artificial, it is right to talk about technology, it's not rasism. As long as replicants can't breed, they surely miss a very important part of lifeforms' essence. No wonder at least some of them seem so frustrated and angry...  |

According to Ridley Scott - and I quote... "Deckard was a Replicant." ...so that's sorted  It wasn't made clear in the Original Theatrical Release - but it was hinted at in The Director's Cut. |

VALEN,
If one accepts that RICK DECKARD is a Replicant (which I do not!), then it might have happened that his "original" was killed off (possibly by the original ROY BATTY) & that the individual calling himself RICK DECKARD in the film does not know that he was activated by the L.A.P.D., who fear that such knowledge might undermine his effectiveness. |
