Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. Since it's original workprint, a total of 7 versions exist. These versions of the movie are the workprint, San Diego Sneak Preview, US Theatrical Cut, International Theatrical Cut, US Broadcast Cut, Director's Cut, and Final Cut. Each version has different scenes and censors.

While the other versions have seen a wide release (or in the case of the US Broadcast Cut, Theatrical Cut with content removed), the San Diego Sneak Preview was shown only once as a special preview event. The edit is said to be nearly identical to the US Theatrical Cut, except for 3 additional scenes that are not found in any other cuts. These scenes are:

  • An introduction of Roy Batty in a VidPhon booth
  • Deckard reloading his gun after Batty broke his fingers
  • A shot of Deckard and Rachael riding off into the sunset

Despite the cult status of this movie, these scenes have not been released since the sneak preview event. Due to the home video recording technology of the time period and presumed security around the event, it is unlikely anyone was able to bootleg the cut. With the 5-disc Ultimate Collectors Edition not containing these scenes, it is unlikely that these scenes will be commercially released.
