Blade Runner: Awesome film, clever, work of art, some brilliant performances.
Total Recall: Awesome film, very funny (occasionally deliberately), some of the most brilliantly bad acting in history (but that's why we love Arnie right?)Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

If you get the special edition version of the blue ray then you learn that Tyrell really was a replicant, that the real Tyrell died three years ago but his body was crygenically frozen in hopes a cure would be found, and he made the replicant Tyrell to carry on the work. To me the unicorn dream along with the unicorn motif which keep popping up in the movie (including in the nerdy genetic designers ruined building) pretty much seals the deal that Deckard is a replicant. Especially when you remember the picture scene where the girl compares her family pictures to his family pictures. That said, I suppose it could just be an attempt by the director to make us think about how the replicants aren't all that different from humans... Still, did you notice how Deckard wouldn't answer the question about if he ever took the response test?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Yeah, exactly. The only thing which seems weird is that all the replicants are said to be stronger then humans (they bend steel, punch through walls, etc...) but Deckard clearly wasn't that strong in the movie.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

He did defeat multiple replicants. And different replicants had different abilities, most of the ones in the film were military models. There's no indication Rachael (or Tyrrel) were super strong.
The Director's Cut makes everything a bit more explicit... seen so many versions I forget which bits are in which version sometimes.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
