My Quintessential cut

Preface


For me:

DC= Deckard is a total skinjob, replicant to the max assigned to murder his bretheren. Iroinic film.

OC }(atually international cut from my local library. Seldom checked out by anyone other than myself. I have checked it out 12 times to supplement my DC DVD and keep me human)= Deckard is a human, emotional and able to grasp Roy's sacrifice.

Simplistic when compared to some theories here, but it works for me. It keeps my own little BR universe functioning. Anything else would be utter caos. Insanity? Probably. Now if you will excuse me, I must view the OC international version for the umtiumpth time. Because for all its pros and cons, it is my quintessential cut of the experience that is Blade Runner. Later fellas (and ladies wherever you are).

Has anyone ever cut their own 'hybrid' version of BR?

I have both versions (original on VHS and DC on DVD) and have had the idea rattling around my brain for some time - I wonder how the film hangs together with the 'bloopers' edited out, the Leon death scene put back into the right order and both the voice-over and the unicorn scene in together.

When SE DVD brings us the missing scenes, the real madness of making custom cuts will begin!

Maybe...

It's a neat idea, because there are elements from both cuts that I like.

Of course it will help if the DVD is released in our lifetimes.
