Blade Runner Originally Included 3 More Replicants

1982’s Blade Runner featured five replicants (excluding the controversial Deckard), but there were originally supposed to be more. In Ridley Scott’s original film, Rick Deckard is ordered by Bryant to capture and retire four replicants named Leon, Roy Batty, Zhora, and Pris. However, along the way, Deckard discovers another replicant named Rachael, who believes she is a human because human memories have been implanted into her brain. 35 years after Scott’s original film, four new Blade Runner films were released with more replicants written into the screenplay. The short film Blade Runner 2036 introduced just one replicant, while Blade Runner 2048 is told through the perspective of a replicant.
