10 Awesome Movie Twists You Never Saw Coming

10. Blade Runner - Deckard Was A Replicant All Along

In Blade Runner, Ford plays Rick Deckard, a special kind of police officer tasked with hunting down and "retiring" escaped human replicants, who are not allowed to run freely on Earth. The film kicks off with a group of Series Nexus-6 combat models make their way to Earth with the intention of forcing their creator to extend their four-year lifespans.

Throughout the film, it's made clear that the Nexus-6s were made to look too human, and it was nearly impossible to detect whether or not they were Replicants outside of a Voight-Kampff test. Despite this, Deckard's brilliant investigative skills make it possible for him to hunt down and kill each of the Replicants.

The twist in Blade Runner is far more nuanced than in most films, as it's one the audience can actually miss when watching Blade Runner for the first time. After Deckard finishes retiring the Replicants, he finds an origami unicorn in his home, which is identical to the one he dreamt about.

Or... did he? Because the origami unicorn is real, and identical to the one he dreamed about, it suggests that Deckard was a Replicant all along, and his dream was an implant like the ones given to Rachel to make her believe she too was human. It's an amazing twist, but if you miss the importance of the unicorn, it's possible to miss it entirely on a first viewing.
