Found a clip of the deleted Holden hospital scene. I dont understand why they cut it off the original version since it reveals more info about replicants (maybe it's in Future Noir???). Anyhow, it'd be nice to see that scene in the Special Edition.

It will probably be there as one of the deleted scenes.

Even though the scene works well by itself, I think it would look somehow superfluous and odd in the movie... it doesn't really add anything significant to the story.

And also, I don't think Ridley will do something that will slow down the movie . But I'm really curious what kind of changes he will make for the 'True Director's Cut'.

I know there are actually two deleted hospital scenes, was the one you found with Dekard leaning over Holden saying:
"Deckard it's tough now, these replicants aren't just a bunch of muscle minors any more, they're no goddamn different from you or me!". Holden talks about Leon and the circumstances around the VK interview in the Tyrell building. "its all over now, its a wipeout, they're almost US!".
has anyone been lucky enough to have found both of the scenes?

Do you mean Deckard visted the hospital twice, or that there are two different shots of the same scene?

I remember briefly he visited him twice in the shooting script, IIRC...

Link to scene please!

yea there were two hospital scenes but i dont think that the second was ever filmed most likely due to the finacial,time,studio problems

personally i like the scene but thats just me

I think one of the reasons he may have kept it out is that the "cool and somber" tone of the acting of both holden intially and deckard throughout the movie is broken here. I think ridley did intend deckard and holden both to seem "artificial" and "robotic" especially compaired to the "liveliness" of the replicants. Holden here is "too human"....whether or not he intended to make them replicants or in PKD fasion wanted them to be too complacent in their humanity compaired to the N6 that relished what life they had...holden seems basically out of character and breaks the tone of the film.
