Gaff is a shadowy, mysterious figure. He is a police officer working for the Replicant Detection Department, as does Deckard, but he is a very different character to Deckard. He speaks a ‘street-talk’ mixture of English, Hungarian, French, German and other languages. He walks with a limp, perhaps an injury sustained during active duty for the department? He also leaves origami models as his ‘calling card’ at scenes he has visited.

He initially tracks down the retired Rick Deckard, and brings him in to face Captain Harry Bryant, who needs him for his latest mission. Gaff then, although remaining very low profile, keeps close watch on Deckard’s progress with the assignment.

This character’s role was to be very minor, but was somewhat expanded based on Olmos’ input during the making of the film. Olmos’ Jewish Hungarian background led him to make suggestions towards the expanded multilingual dialogue.

Disc Three:

1982 THEATRICAL VERSION

This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.

1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION

Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.

1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT

The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.
