In response to Liz Fries, the unicorn in Deckard's dream is the clinching
evidence that he is a replicant, as the origami unicorn left at the end shows
that his thoughts were implanted.
 
Also, the god-awful exterior shots at the end of the studio cut are mostly
outtakes from The Shining.  How lame.
 
I still believe that had the Director's Cut been released at first instead of
the studio version, the film would have had a greater general impact.  At the
time I thought it was inane, falling apart very early.  Only my friends who
were hard core sci-fi or Art Direction junkies really loved it.  The later
release plays like the most compelling vision of the future to come out of
Hollywood since 2001.
