Seven different versions of ''Blade Runner'' have been shown, either to test audiences or theatrically. The best known are the ''Workprint'', the ''Theatrical Cut'', the ''International Cut'', the ''Director's Cut'' and the ''Final Cut''. These five versions are included in both the 2007 5-disc Ultimate Collectors Edition and 2012 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition releases. In the 2007 documentary ''Dangerous Days: The Making of Blade Runner'', there is a reference to director Ridley Scott presenting a nearly four-hour-long "early cut" that was shown only to studio personnel at the time and has never been released.) The following is a timeline of these seven versions. ==Workprint prototype version (1982)== The Workprint version (1982, 113 minutes) was shown to audience test previews in Denver and Dallas in March 1982. It was also seen in 1990 and 1991 in Los Angeles and San Francisco as a ''Director's Cut'' without the approval of director Ridley Scott. Negative responses to the test previews led to the modifications resulting in the US theatrical version, while positive response to the showings in 1990 and 1991 pushed the studio to approve work on an official director's cut.〔Bukatman, p. 37〕 This version was re-released as part of the 5-disc Ultimate Edition in 2007 with a new transfer of the last known print in existence, with the picture and sound quality restored as much as humanly possible. However the result was still rough. The main differences between the Workprint and most of the other versions (in chronological order) are: # The opening title sequence and opening crawl explaining the backstory of the replicants is not present in this version. Instead, a definition of "replicant" from the 2016 edition of the New American Dictionary is shown. # When Deckard plays the piano in a depressed stupor, there is no unicorn dream sequence or background music. # Different, further-away shots of Batty as Deckard watches him die are shown. Additionally, there is an alternate narration (the only narration in this version): "I watched him die all night. It was a long, slow thing...and he fought it all the way. He never whimpered, and he never quit. He took all the time he had, as though he loved life very much. Every second of it...even the pain. Then he was dead." # There is no "happy ending"; the film ends when the elevator doors to Deckard's apartment slam as he and Rachel leave. # There are no ending credits. The words "The End" are simply shown as exit music plays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Versions of Blade Runner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
