In a draft of the film, dated February 23, , it is Bryant rather than Gaff who appears on the rooftop after Roy Batty dies. Another draft included Gaff chasing Deckard and Rachael as they fled the city.
Gaff" seemingly confirming that the name Gaff is his surname. During the events of both films, Gaff leaves several origami figures representing different animals.

Gaff leaves a chicken on Captain Bryant's desk right as Deckard is about to refuse Bryant's demand that he return as a Blade Runner.
Calling into question Deckard's courage, implying he is running away from his fears instead of facing them. Roy Batty is a replicant, but filled with human emotion and a lust for life. Rick Deckard is human, but detached, unemotional and cold. There are many things symbolized by the unicorn. One is them relates to emotion, and this could be seen as the end of Deckard's journey. It's a fantastic thing, and it could mean that Gaff thinks that Deckard running off with Rachael means he's living in a fantasy with that, not reality.
Or, with the director's cut, you see that Gaff has the files for Deckard's memories, as Deckard has the files for Rachael's, and that means he's a replicant. But only in the director's cut.
I never bought into the Deckard-is-a-replicant idea, but instead always thought it was that both men saw Rachel as beautiful, impossible, unique and magical, which is well represented well by the symbol of a Unicorn. I have an input about the unicorn dream.
The unicorn is an christological symbol. In the book physiologus popular book in the middle ages about magical creatures and so on the unicorn is described as hard to capture.
Only a virgin could do this. This unicorn myth has been used as a symbol incarnation of Christ, who has been born by the virgin Mary. Furthermore it was believed that the unicorn had magical powers. The Unicorn could bring dead back to life, and the person who drinks his blood becomes immortal. So my two cents about the Unicorn in the Movie: Mybe Deckard and Rachael don't have a short lifespan as the other replicants do. Perhaps it could also mean, that Decker and Rachael get the opportunity to run away and start a family.
They could get a child together and be the founders of a Replicant Civilization reference to Mary who gave birth to jesus. One could say, 'I Dream therefore I am', or one could simply think that since real humans need to dream to stay sane Griffin, Dreaming Reality , Deckard's dream is simply a necessary by-product of his replicated mind.
Deckard dreams of unicorns yet this is an implanted memory. You might wonder why Tyrrel Corp would take the trouble to implant dreams at all.
They will need at least six a night and this is going to add up to thousands altogether. So, why is THIS dream the one that stands out? It also symbolizes power, gentleness, and purity" - Dream Moods. Is this, I wonder, what Deckard's subconscious is fascinated with? I recently watched the Director's Cut and after reading other posts regarding Deckard being a replicant, I personally don't think he was even though many signs point to him being one. I think this mainly because everytime he physically came up against a replicant which was at least 3 times in the movie he was always inferior to them and lost unless he used his gun.
I could be wrong, that's just my opinion. I like the basic idea that Gaff left the origami to let Deckard know that he saw Rachel and let her live. The reason he made it into a unicorn was to let Deckard know that he should follow his dream, which was to be with Rachel. Then again how did Gaff know about the dream. It's just my two cents. I think the unicorn can only mean that Gaff knew what was in Decker's dream, therefore meaning that he was a replicant.
The fact that it has the voice-over of Gaff saying 'she won't live, but then who does' accompanying it reinforces that. In addition you had Rachael asking Decker earlier in the movie if he had ever done the eye test on himself, and enquiring about his memories which would suggest she suspected also.
Bryant didn't know about Rachael, and I don't think he knew about Decker either. I don't believe there was anything telling in that respect in his 'little people' remark, merely that he would make life hard for him if he didn't help out.
I think there was a lot more to Gaff than met the eye, and knew more of what was going on than anyone. He knew both Decker and Rachael were replicants from the start, and had deduced that they were in love. He knew where Rachael was but let her live, to be with Decker. The unicorn was both telling Decker he was a replicant and signalling that he had his blessing to escape with Rachael.
The only thing which doesn't make sense is if Decker was a replicant, why didn't he have their physical attributes? He couldn't make the jump from one building to another and spent half the time getting his arse kicked. Also, if the Nexus are meant to be so pefect, why was Leon so damned ugly??
I think that Ridley Scott added the part of Decker being a replicant so that the movie would have different meanings to everyone and cause great discussion about it. But to me, the unicorn left behind means one thing - that others have already said. Gaff knows she's a replicant and knows that Decker is in love with her, and decides to spare her. When Gaff says "It's to bad she won't live, but then again who does" means she only has four years of life and that Decker is becoming too infatuated with her.
But then again, she dies, and no matter who he ends up with will eventually die too. That's just me though. I also kind of hate the idea that he is a replicant. The movie to me is about man's ability to survive even against powerful things like replicants. I think director's cuts do this too much. It goes back to Star Wars. Who shot first, Han or Greedo Harrison Ford's characters just need to be left alone, lol. I think, that the main idea of the movie was that almost everyone left on Earth were Replicants.
That explains why all replicants return to Earth. They were programmed to do so. When they are back they're being retired one way or another. There is no life left and everything is artificial. All real humans went to offworlds. Some left to made new replicants. The central romantic drama there was that the human cop Deckard eventually fell in love with one of his assigned targets, a replicant named Rachel, played by Sean Young. But here's the key that will unlock those deeper layers of significance in the new film: In the original Blade Runner , there are strong indications that Deckard himself was a replicant but didn't know it due to synthetic memory implants.
Several visual and narrative clues are present in the various cuts of the first film, and the general consensus is that Deckard is indeed a replicant. Early in the film, Deckard dreams of a unicorn during a drunken reverie. Later, one of Deckard's fellow blade runners, a wigged-out dandy named Gaff Edward James Olmos , leaves an origami unicorn for Deckard to find. This suggests that Gaff knows Deckard's memories, which means they're implanted, which means he's a 'bot.
Director Ridley Scott later confirmed that was his intent with the unicorn business, telling Wired that revealing Deckard's replicant status is "the whole point of Gaff. If you take for granted for a moment that, let's say, Deckard is a Nexus 7, he probably has an unknown life span and therefore is starting to get awfully human. Gaff, at the very end, leaves an origami, which is a piece of silver paper you might find in a cigarette packet, and it's a unicorn.
Now, the unicorn in Deckard's daydream tells me that Deckard wouldn't normally talk about such a thing to anyone. If Gaff knew about that, it's Gaff's message to say, 'I've read your file, mate. Yet some viewers who work strictly by what's presented in the film still feel there's no definitive answer to the question of whether Deckard is a replicant -- after all, the aforementioned tension is based on the idea that he's a human falling for a replicant, so the debate becomes more ambiguous.
This ambiguity is a worth keeping in mind as you're going into I'm about to bump up against some nuclear-grade spoilers, and I'll try to be careful, but if you want to go into the new movie totally fresh, you'll want to come back to this page later.
It's established in the first few scenes of that Officer K, Gosling's character, is definitely a replicant.
