Planned obsolescence was the first issue I thought of. I don't remember if they specified if only certain replicants would die after 4(?) years, but how would a replicant rise to become one of the best blade runners in such a short amount of time? Does future LA not do background checks? I would think that they would do the test on anyone applying for such a position. Or, they knew all along he was a replicant and that's what they use as Blade Runners. Kind of conspiracy-theoryish, but that could explain it.

Deckard is also considerably weaker than the other replicants in the film. If he was a replicant, why was he so easily outmatched

The most common explanation is that Detective Gaff was the real Blade Runner, and fully aware that Deckard was a replicant. Instead of his job being to hunt them down, his job was to keep an eye on Deckard and make sure he didn't realize that he was a replicant and that he didn't go rogue as well.

Final cut (and in a cinema - that didn't hurt with some of the shots, let me tell you) Legolas - 25/03/2010 10:25:29 PM 412 Views
I wish I could see it in a theater....one of these days I'm going to find it in a local theater Brian - 25/03/2010 10:49:14 PM 451 Views
