Blade Runner on DVD

[DeadKennedys]

Your husband bought the orignal, theatrical release with the film-noir voiceovers. Before the movie was released, Warner Brothers, the publisher, decided that the movie was too complicated for people to understand and forced Scott to add in voicovers to explain the story. Overestimating WB's taste, Ford did his best to make the lines as dull as possible in hopes that they wouldn't put them in the final cut of the film, but of course, they did anyway. Also, they added a happy ending where everything works out and all's happy.

Scott later released his "Director's Cut" which didn't include narration, had some changes, and a different ending. A much better package if you ask me.
