This thread concerns the great question which Blade Runner fans will always be divided by. Is Deckard, the protagonist of Ridley Scott's classic, a Replicant or a human?

Fiirstly I would like to say that I was absolutely sure there would already be a thread about this. But I searched as thoroughly as possible and found nothing. If there is already a topic on this then I apologize. I just thought this would be a good topic to discuss and see opinions.

Ridley Scott has already said himself that Rick Deckard was a Replicant.

Phillip K Dick intended Deckard to be a human. Ridley Scott siad he intended him to be a replicant years after he and Harrison Ford agreed he was a human. Just pick whatever you want in all fairness!

Regardless of whether he was a human or replicant, Blade Runner was one of the greatest movies of all time.

and to add to my last post, there's a whole thread about this going on at the main site if anyone is interested: messageboards.bladerunnerthemovie.com/showthread.php?t=5

Any memories he thinks he has, of his wife & childhood, could all be implanted. And, he doesn't answer Rachel's question about whether he's ever taken a Voight-Kampff test himself. But, I wonder why the police would go through such trouble of using a 'fresh' replicant with implanted memories to do their bidding, except to make sure he does the dirty work of investigating (that makes sense.) If he dies, then it's no loss.
