Versions of Blade Runner

Blade Runner exists in seven distinct cuts because Ridley Scott lost final-cut privilege on the 1982 theatrical release, which added a Harrison Ford voiceover and a studio-imposed happy ending Scott had opposed after test audiences reported difficulty following the film. The main versions include the 1982 workprint shown to Denver and Dallas test audiences, a San Diego sneak preview with three exclusive scenes, the American and International theatrical releases, the latter with additional violent content, the 1992 Director's Cut that removed the voiceover and happy ending while adding the unicorn dream sequence, and Scott's 2007 Final Cut, made under his full artistic control.
