I had to have someone point out the unicorn thing to me, after seeing the movie only about a half a dozen times. The thing that put the idea of Deckard's being a replicant into my head was his photographs. Rachel was very attached to—almost desparate about—her photo of "her" with her mother, and Leon went to great risk to try to recover the photos he had left behind. Deckard's place had a very conspicuous display of framed "family" photos. My feeling was that somewhere deep in the subconscious, replicants needed the photos to somehow validate their existence.
