Blade Runner/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

** Is Deckard a replicant? Director [[Ridley Scott]] and lead actor [[Harrison Ford]], as well as Rutger Hauer, screenwriters Hampton Fancher and David Peoples have all had contrasting views on the subject. Scott says yes; Ford, Hauer and the screenwriters say no. The novel on which the films based, ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep]]'', has several strong hints that {{spoiler|he is in fact human}}.

** More solidified now in that it's generally agreed upon that he is human in the theatrical cut and a replicant in the director's cut.

** According to [[Mark Kermode]], the idea of Deckard being a replicant first arose from a misunderstanding between the screenwriters: One had written into the script a line about Deckard wondering about his own creator, which was intended as him comparing himself to replicants and the creator being God. The other writer thought this line meant Deckard was a replicant, and led to both thinking the other one put forth the idea first.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:

** Naturally, [[Indiana Jones|Dr. Jones]] is the protagonist.
