Look, they don't say he's a replicant, they -imply- that he's a replicant.
Whoever wrote the blurb on the back of the jacket says that the unicorn
dream means that he's a replicant.
Doesn't mean he -is- doesn't mean he -isn't-. It means he might be. It
means: "believe what you want this to mean."
I've Read a lot of PKD and I, personally don't believe Deckard to be a
replicant (that is if the movie was attempting to live up to "Philip K.
Dick's vision").
*noysh turns to go back into the temple of kipple-worship*
Anyway, I like the Director's Cut version, it allows the near-future
dystopian flavor permeate the movie a lot better, which is the kind of
thing that led me into Shadowrun in the first place.
