Some extracts from the movie
Extract One: Introduction from Blade Runner
"Early in the 21st Century, THE TYRELL
CORPORATION advanced robot evolution into the
NEXUS phase - a being virtually identical to a human
- known as a Replicant.
The NEXUS 6 Replicants were superior in strength
and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the
genetic engineers who created them.
Replicants were
used Off-World as slave labor, in the hazardous
exploration and colonization of other planets.
After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6 combat team in
an Off-World colony, Replicants were declared
illegal on earth - under penalty of death.
Special
police squads - BLADE RUNNER UNITS - had
orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing
Replicant
This was not called execution.
It was called
retirement.

Questions:
1) How intelligent are Nexus 6 replicants? Smarter,
not as smart, or just as smart
Less
