  • I don't care.   It wasn't written by Phillip K. Dick so it's not the real story no matter what.

    In Dick's novel, Deckard's test results say that he is a human but with strong empathy for androids.   Deckard was a human.

  • That's what I thought too, but haven't read the story in some time. I thought it was a point of self reflection.

  • Yeah.   Deckard's boss accuses him of being an android.   The bounty hunter of the station uses the testing equipment to test the whole department and Deckard and Resch find out the whole department is staffed by them including Deckard's boss who accused him of being an android.

    When Deckard and Resch take the test it is determined Deckard is human but with more empathy for androids and Resch is also human but with a very low capacity to empathize and basically a sociopath.

  • Thank you for refreshing my memory. I always thought that a BR2 could capitalize on that portion of the story line.

  • I too read the book.... I am, or was, a Sci-fi fan... i just have a rotten memory and forget the ending and most of the plot to every story i read :P  But i did seem to have the impression that there was no suggestion that Deckard was a replicant.. To be honest, I never felt that from the film either... I think it was something some people read into it that wasn't necessarily there.

  • What about Legend?   It's the only movie with Tom Cruise that's worth a damn.  That's what about it.

    The "unicorn" footage is from Legend in the Bladerunner Director's Cut. I thought. Who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I know the "happy ending" car footage is leftover from The Shining.
