Six versions of the film exist but only two are widely known and seen; the original theatrical release (1982), and a Director's Cut (1991). The latter does not include Deckard's explanatory voice-over and a scene was both added and removed. The added scene is a dream Deckard has when he's dozing off at home drunk playing the piano. It shows a unicorn running through a forest. The removed scene is the ending, where Deckard and Rachael are driving off into the wilderness. |

The other four versions include two workprint versions shown only as previews to test audiences' response, these have occasionally popped up at film festivals in later years. The remaining two are the international cut and the broadcast version. Both basically the same as the original theatrical release, but the former contains more graphic violence and the latter has some cursing removed. |
