Released by Warner Bros. and In the happy ending conditioned cinema version from 1982, there is no mistake about the fact that Rick Deckard himself a human being. In the Director's Cut and the Final Cut (the movie versions like Director Ridley Scott they originally had wanted to revert) without the happy ending, it seems to be kept open the possibility that Rick Deckard is a replicant himself also. Ridley Scott has this capability in several interviews both confirmed as contradicted. It remains so to us as Viewer. ==Division Of Roles[ Edit] == ==Influence of the film[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film did it only moderately in cinemas, but was a great success abroad.

 * To see a work print, which was in the u.s., in Denver/Dallas, as a sneak preview (1982)
 * The US San Diego Sneak Preview (June 1982)
 * The US Domestic Cut-US Theater Release (1982)

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The changes that were made in the Director's Cut, also found their way to this Final Cut (no voice-over, the Unicorn scene and does have an open end). Of the Unicorn-scene was now their originally intended shot inserted. In addition, there is some visible errors removed using digital processes. We can think of getting rid of supporting cables at the Spinners, placing the head of actress Joanna Cassidy over that of a stunt woman, as well as getting rid of one of the most notorious ' line flaps ' in the interrogate Abdul Hassan, the scene between Deckard and pigeon that Roy Batty release against a suitable background. Ridley Scott could now also the violent renewals of existing scenes (such as those in to see the International Cut were) to its ' final version ' Add.
 * The International Cut, which is used for the video Edition, contains among other things-just as the US Domestic Cut -a voice over by Deckard (Harrison Ford) and the extra final scene. In this scene you see Deckard and Rachael by an idyllic landscape drive. The landscape is taken from unused shots from the film The Shining. However, this version unlike the US Domestic Cut the insertion of some violent renewals of existing scenes.
 * The Director's Cut (DC) is the version that was used for the first dvd release. This version started his legislative history when the studio on a 70 mm film festival showed the work print accidentally, in the place of the regular International Cut(incorrectly), which they promoted as a Director's Cut (because of the-for the American public unseen-violent renewals of existing scenes). However, the American public got to see a surprisingly different version of the film: different starting titles, many alternative shots, other dialog lines, other (temporary) music etc. Especially the absence of the voice-over (except for Batty's death) and the absence of the extra final scene did in certain circles of film buffs and fans a great outcry and made the impressions (there were additional after this film festival inserted) very popular. However, Ridley Scott thought it was just a storm in a teacup. Though there was a huge interest to an ' other ', final version of the film. The studio picked up here like to in. However, because Ridley Scott had too busy finishing the film Thelma and Louise, producers received specific instructions. These were simple: away with the voice-over, away with the final scene (which he both never had wanted in the film). Due to the lack of the final scene will get this version of course an open end, and this counts more on the interpretation of the Viewer. Also the infamous dream scene with the Unicorn added (which he wanted in the film from the beginning). However could no longer be found and their originally intended shot was an unused take chosen. This dream is seen as evidence for the theory that Deckard is a replicant. By the mentioned changes the DC seems another, generally regarded as in-depth, story line to follow. However, the violent renewals of existing scenes, present in the International Cut never found their way to this Director's Cut . Ridley Scott remained dissatisfied with this version, also because he's so indirectly involved. A latest version was needed to smooth out the leftover folds...
 * Final Cut (also called the 25th Anniversary Edition) was released in theaters on October 5, 2007. This is the only version in which Ridley Scott had complete artistic control over the end product. Need some time and effort: so were the first concrete steps have been taken in 2000 (for release in 2002), however, showed the project rights issues fall silent. After a long break was around 2005 the work resumed. That was, however, not immediately as a disadvantage experienced because now more advanced digital restoration techniques could be used.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film was also technically taken in process. So was the sound completely polished and remixed. Also the image should count on a particular attention; This was completely digitally restored. The original special effects, however, were left untouched and retain fully their original look. However, wallpapers and image elements with special effects, being sure to restart them scanned and digitally merged. All this leads to a flawless image which original imperfections caused by the outdated optical processes, were completely eliminated. Also used a new grading making various scenes got a new color palette. The film was further fine-grained on the lack of a voice over: some scenes that were on the voice of Deckard ' waited ' slightly shortened. The film is on dvd, both Blu-ray and HD dvd released in versions with 2, 4 and 5 discs. All versions contain the Final Cut with audio commentary of Scott and the three and a half hour documentary Dangerous Days. This documentary is the first where all actors Harrison Ford, also, to have collaborated.

In soldier is referred to events that are called as in Blade Runner side the supposed Battle of Tannhauser Gate, where Roy Batty in his last monologue refers to.
 * The influences of the fallout as a result of the last world war on the human genetic code is not treated.
 * The Mercerisme as widespread religion and the use of equipment to emotions, almost in the form of medication, to excite either.
 * Only in the Director's Cut and Final Cut is Deckard portrayed as a possible Android, although he in no version wondering as opposed to the book.
 * Eldon Tyrell in the book bears the surname Rosen.
