A prequel wouldn't have had the high production value BR had... BR only looked as good as it did because they had time to focus on sets and props thanks to an actor's strike.
I can't see how he is NOT a replicant. He dreams about the unicorn, only for Gaff to make a unicorn origami at the end of the movie, like he knew what he had programmed into him. You could say the whole "everyone that's a replicant in the movie has a scene where their eyes glow orange" makes him a replicant, since everyone AND him have this in the movie. Also, his fascination with saving Rachel, and his sadness for killing the replicants could have something to do with this. Then again, he wouldn't know he is, so why be sad about it? Meh, whatever.
Taking out the dialogue that Ford had, a la Film Noir, was the best thing this movie ever did for itself.
I like the voice over noir version too.
I've watched the directors cut on ld and to me it just wasn't the same.
as a kid I never read into it and was oblivious to the
idea that deck may have been a replicant.
learning about that in my internet years kind of remade the movie
into a new, more interesting experience.
The fact that Gaff knows Deckard dreams of the unicorn (as if programmed), the glint in his eye at the end, and Gaff's further comment near the end to him state "You've done a man's job" would lean pretty heavily toward the replicant arguement I believe.
For someone made to be "more human than human," he sure as hell had an all-too-human alcohol problem. Also, the replicants killed with ease. He was unable to kill the males, and only shot the females to death as they fled (shooting a fleeing woman also seems to be very subhuman, if you ask me). To me, the main point of the movie was Deckard (human) and Batty (machine) coming to a mutual admiration toward each other as they both faced their own mortality.
Yeah, personal theories like a direct quote from the director. You rabble rouser, you.and insert their own personal theories
