Well, Harrison Ford said for years that Deckard wasn't a replicant, even though Ridley Scott said yes he was. (And according to the Wired article, Ford hasn't so much changed his mind as given up arguing about it.) So it's ambiguous on a pretty fundamental level from the start.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh, Cambridge Footlights! I brought that DVD to the SF F2F, but we never got around to watching it.

Nah. It just took me longer to get the link.

's okay. That skit is pretty hysterical. I love the way their accents get harder and harder to decipher the longer the sketch goes on.

My take on this is that Scott never told Ford that Deckard was a replicant. In fact, he probably emphasized to his actor that the character WAS human, because Deckard doesn't know he's a replicant. Scott's too good a director, and Ford was pretty much a n00b actor.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ford was in the business for 15 years at that point.

Yes, but uncredited bits or tiny TV roles. Not much along the lines of a big movie lead. He hadn't had to really carry a movie before, not even Star Wars or American Graffiti.
