About the significance of the nail which Roy Batty drives through his hand. On a practical level, Roy is dying and, as a result, his hand was seizing up. This is demonstrated by his clenched fist, and his inability to unclench it. He drives a nail through his palm to release the tendons holding his fist clenched, so he can regain the use of his hand. There is also an element of Christian symbolism here, specifically drawing parallels with Jesus being nailed through the hands onto a cross.
