As pointed out, Scott has said before e.g. in a documentary written and hosted by film critic Mark Kermode called On the Edge of Blade Runner that he meant for Deckard to be a replicant. Harrison Ford never believed he was a replicant, and Rutger Hauer claimed the debate came up after the fact. However, Mark Kermode recently revealed a debate between Scott and the director of the new film, Denis Villeneuve, where Scott repeated this claim, saying that if Deckard wasn't an android, the film wouldn't make any sense: the unicorn, the dream - the central twist is that Deckard doesn't realise that he is a replicant, and that he is chasing himself. Villeneuve however, disputed this, and said that it's not as clear cut as Scott makes out, and that the film is much more ambivalent than that. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/entries/7070baee-ad33-4024-868e-019939dd2c9b http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/entries/7070baee-ad33...
