You're both wrong. 60s Smile

I take it you have seen Blade Runner JB? Director's Cut is my all time favourite film.

directors cuts crap! The non directors cut has Harrison Fords voice over which tells the story! The directors cut doesn't make as much sense!

The books good as well, its called do androids dream of electric sheep?

Anyway I have a pug to fix!

Yep book is good, read it a few times. Same author (Philip K Dick) wrote the short stories behind Minority Report, Total Recall and Paycheck.

I have the book, the game, the soundtrack CD, original version on VHS, Directors Cut on DVD, Boxed Collectors Set, Various other collectors memorabilia.

I like the voiceovers on the original version as well, very film noir. But the happy ending made with outtakes from The Shining were tacked on after the original test audience said the ending was too downbeat. Bloody americans.

Director's cut restores the original ending as well as a few other small but very significant bits. You know Deckard is a replicant himself in the Director's cut because of these.
