- In 1992 a new version, titled "Blade Runner: The Director's Cut" was given a
  limited run in theaters and was subsequently released on video worldwide.
 - This version completely deletes all Deckard voice-overs, adds a 12 second
   scene showing a unicorn while Deckard plays the piano, deletes all
   additional violence shown in the European version, has a digitally remixed
   soundtrack and eliminates the happy ending (the film ends with the elevator
   doors closing).
 - In the Director's Cut while Deckard waits for a seat at the noodlebar, the
   advertising slogan from the blimp is longer than in the original version (to
   fill the void from the missing voice over) and adds the phrase "This
   announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation -
   helping America into the New World."
 - (SPOILER) The inclusion of the unicorn vision actually reveals, together
   with the unicorn figurine left by Gaff, that Deckard himself is a replicant.
   The revelation is similar to Deckard explaining to Rachael that her most
   private memory was known by others, and therefore must have been designed
   and implanted by someone else.

  of Death" movie Bruce originally intended to be made. It has a completely
  different plot, as the plot of the most typical verson was created after
