Blade Runner's many cuts all offer different versions of the Ridley Scott classic, but what exactly are the changes between them?
While Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner has numerous different cuts, the Theatrical Cut was altered pretty substantially by each revision. Blade Runner was originally released in 1982. An adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner was a sci-fi noir mashup that served as director Ridley Scott’s followup to his smash hit Alien.
5 The International Cut Kept The Theatrical Cut's Ending The International Cut also kept the Theatrical Cut’s questionable happy ending. Tacked on at the insistence of studio executives, the Blade Runner Theatrical Cut’s ending sees Deckard and Rachael the replicant drive off merrily into the sunset after Roy Batty’s death. Bizarrely, this cheerful coda reused footage from the opening scenes of The Shining to save on costs.
3 The Director's Cut Reinstated Deckard's Dream Sequence A decade after Blade Runner’s Theatrical Cut was released, the Director’s Cut hit theaters for the first time. The biggest change in this version of Blade Runner was the removal of Deckard’s narration, as well as the addition of the unicorn dream sequence. The unicorn dream scene sees Deckard dream about encountering the mythical beast while he plays the piano in a forest.
