I never really understood the limited life span thing - why 21? The palm crystal thing looked like it would be seriously annoying, also.  It's 35 not 21 and the palm crystal is like a fun bump when you rub one out. I believe it was 21 in the book and 35 in the movie and series. |

So...someone spell it out for mew like I'm adopted. What was the deal with the origami? Deckard was a replicant? Why? How? Who? What? Don't they have a Shelf Life? Captain Adama put an origami unicorn at Decker's door to encourage him to vote for Obama... |

Deckard was never a replicant until Ridley Scott did his "Directors Cut". Rachael didn't have a termination date. |

Great movie and wll ahead of its time. People who don't appreciate what a masterpiece this movie is are too dense to understand it. Fantastic story line without having to fall back on over the top action and studio generated graphics. This is my favorite movie of all time. |

The first one back in the police station with his old captain being "reactivated" is a chicken. as in "Gaff thinks Deckard's resisting his reactivation because he's a coward." The second one in Leon's hotel room is a little stick figure man (with big third-leg penis), meaning possibly "Yes, the man we seek was here." Or "I know Deckard has a hard-on for Rachel." The third origami, the unicorn, represents, "I was here, and I'm not going to kill you or Rachel." In the director's cut, Deckard has a dream about a unicorn (the animals all having mystical significance to everyone on the "dying earth" etc. but the unicorn is completely mystical/made up) which implies that Gaff may know about Deckard's implanted memories/dreams etc. that help him think he's "real", and thus Deckard is indeed a replicant too. |

There's a dream sequence in which Deckard sees a unicorn. Gaff leaves an origami unicorn... this supposedly indicates that Gaff knows what memories Deckard has. |

Raff liked origami. Deckard was never a replicant until Ridley Scott did his "Directors Cut". Rachael didn't have a termination date. This!!! Ridley Scott pulled the original George Lucas "Han only shot in self defense" crap. And it was better with the monotone voiceover that gave it a film noir feel I kind of liked. In the book there was a group of Replicants who tried to convince Deckard that he was one, but that was a minor distraction that didn't make much of an impact ETA - I haven't seen Logan's Run in so long I had to look it up to get the age thing, apparently l went to the book page rather than the movie. Wasn't really important except to play along with Infallible's Pacino/FAL comment |

Deckard was a replicant without an expiration date like Rachel and he was meant/built to fall in love with Rachel to start a new race.

I read somewhere that Harrison Ford didn't want to do the narration, rushed it and refused to do any of it over. |

Quoted:
You're watching an old movie. It shows a banquet in progress, the guests are enjoying raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog stuffed with rice. The raw oysters are less acceptable to you than a dish of boiled dog. They would be to me. Oysters suck, and ideally raw oysters are eaten alive. A little salsa and a tortilla and dog wouldn't be bad. |

Blade Runner riddle solved...interview with the director
Director Ridley Scott has finally revealed the answer to a plot twist in his film Blade Runner which has been the topic of fierce debate for nearly two decades.
Movie fans have been divided over whether Harrison Ford's hard-boiled cop character Deckard was not human but a genetically-engineered "replicant" - the very creatures he is tasked with destroying. Little suspicion was raised by the 1982 original version of the film, based on Philip K Dick's novel: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? But a decade later the Director's Cut edition - although deliberately ambiguous - convinced many that the hero was indeed a replicant and in a Channel 4 documentary Scott at last reveals they are correct. |

The raw oysters are less acceptable to you than a dish of boiled dog. Deckard: I don't get it... Tyrell: How many? Deckard: Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced. Tyrell: But with Rachael it took more than a hundred. Deckard: She doesn't know. Tyrell: She is beginning to suspect I think. Deckard: Beginning to suspect? How can it not know what it is? |
