It's great to see them all this way, but I agree: The movie really is better without them. Scott left them out of even his revised cuts, and you can see why.
This is exactly how I felt. It was the right decision, but to see these scenes now so many years later? What a treat for Blade Runner fans like ourselves.
I remember seeing Blade Runner in the theater when I was a teenager. I thought it was a great film except the editing was very choppy and it made it confusing. I think that’s the reason why there’s so many different versions. But I wish they could get the editing just right because it could be a fantastic movie. And it’s a perfect example of a different time. A perfect example of a 1980’s style of a retro future. Oh, and I’ve never seen these clips before especially the one with Holden in the hospital. I can see why they were cut, but thanks very much for that. A real eye-opener.
So deeply human of how Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), contemplates, accepts, and emotionally express upon his face, how he empraces his death-- as he lets go, and we see the white dove (perhaps his symbolic spirit) flying upward and away into the vastness of falling drops of rain. So so endlessly and grippingly poetic.
'Its too bad she won't live. But then again who does?' That line, right there is the core of this whole wonderful movie. It has haunted me for... more than forty years now I suppose.
Always struck me as funny. "Deckard's a deep one," Gaff credits him and his quality as a Blade Runner. In the same scene, Deckard's all "who?" "what?" and not connecting dots. While his injured colleague already has all the insight and answers. "God."
Thanks for the video. I can understand why all those scenes were cut but I'd keep the city fly-by sequence. As someone already said it helps to build the world "mood" in a way that the final cut can't achieve.
Deckard,-It takes one (Replicant) to know one. “Replicants” have a spirit (life) and a body (vessel), but unlike us they don’t have a soul (inner being), which is feelings, family, history. Making them ideal psychopathic material.
I'm glad I finally got to see the full cleaned up "Holden in ICU" scene when it was released, and I'm also glad that Scott cut it from all versions of the movie. It kills the pacing and doesn't give us much new information we actually need. And, frankly, Morgan Paull (R.I.P.) overacts the part.
@@curtisnewton895 "the scene doesn't fit the rest of the movie." I agree. Too chatty, hackneyed dialogue, too much exposition. And yes, for a guy millimeters from death, he seems awfully lively in that container.
It was a revelation. Somehow I knew that science fiction was being treated as a serious genre. The movie on the big screen is glorious and darkly beautiful. Up to that time only Star Wars and Close Encounters was that beautiful. All in their own way. 2049 lived up to the original. So glad Villeneuve did it. And now hes directing Arthur Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama. I've read the book. It should be amazing. Like 2001 shot inside a 100 mile long cylindrical spaceship with land masses and oceans and weather, but missing the aliens who built it. If Villeneuve pulls it off, and im sure he will, it will be dazzling.
Never any doubt whether Deckard was human but these scenes belong in the story as it wouldn't alter the narrative but highlights the replicants as desperate fugitives... Amazing!
They seem like fairly marginal variations to me, apart from Holden's scenes in the hospital. The elevator part in my opinion is worse than the one included in the film (bishop to king 7, checkmate)
Whoa. RS presumably kept these well hidden. Till now?? Have seen the dvd sp editions zero clips on either. Almost any of these would have helped strengthen the very diluted release print. 11 scripts? Dep which crew member you interview. Harlan mustve bn going nuts. even these clips chopped to a few seconds, could only have flesged it out. Esp the bathroom sc. This explains FINALLY why RS thought Deckard was a Replicant too. Which of course, he wasnt. Ask the Author.
As much as I enjoy the deleted scenes from the varying versions, I agree including almost any of them would not have contributed, although including Rutger Hauer's amazing child like clumsiness and look of "ooh I'm in big trouble now" after his character commits patricide, his momentary regress calling out for mommy, there's something there-- I for one wanted to see more of Roy and the Nexus 6 interacting in any case.
I really wish they kept the hospital scenes in, I feel they add a little depth to deckards character as well as Holdens considering we don't see much of him if of any after the intro of the movie.
It`s a fan edit of the film using scenes that were not included in the main releases. There is another version called White Dragon which has loads more scenes included. Apparently going to be released in November. The guy doing it has been working on it for some years. whitedragoncut.com/?page_id=2407&lang=en
That early scene with Deckard flying over the city was so atmospheric. It immersed me more into the world than most scenes not cut from the movie
that scene is in the 1997 cut.
Hard to believe we didn't see these deleted scenes until now.
There was no such thing as dvd when it 1st came out.
@@mtn1793 This was first available to look at on the 2007 Bluray/dvd release special features.
I miss so much 20 century 😢
I've never seen these clips. Amazing!
Me neither. And I'm a big fan of this movie.
As always with editing by professionals, it is clear why these scenes were deleted, but it's so much fun to see them with music. Thank you!

It they were cut because the film were aimed for the short-attention-span-theater audience, that can't keep more than one thing in mind at a time.
@@obsidianjane4413 there were cup because they were out of place and detracted from the story
@@tryscience Provides exhibit A of "the short-attention-span-theater audience"
It would be nice if these were edited back in for an extended version.
They would likey explain the world better but also kill the pacing of the movie. Maybe more interesting as these little vignettes.

It was not retro at the time. It only seems that way today. The theatrical release seemed choppy because pivotal context scenes were cut for time.
Philip K. Dick used to write too much bullshit,sometimes he lost himself in a boring monologue about nothing and stuff like it.

His wonderful music in this, “Cosmos”, “Chariots of Fire “ and more.
Holden in the hospital. Great clip!

Yeah. I saw most of these clips at a comiccon a while black without music. Nicely done!

half of the footage in this video is in the 1997 cut.

the scene doesn't fit the rest of the movie, as far as I remember the guy was supposed to be close to dead, maintained alive by machines

I loved seeing these! They add to the story!
Great work. I've the Director's Cut, but this is over the top.
Makes me remember what it was like watching this movie for the first time.

Funny how Deckard quotes Treasure Island in Blade Runner 2049
i don’t understand the second one but this one ❤ wake me up to this clown world
The treasure island connection ...i dream of cheese ....toasted
many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese .. toasted mostly...
I think I have seen a few of these clips in different versions. "I am the business"
More like the book's feel and message with the scenes in.
Great soundtrack, by Vangelis I believe.

There's so much product placement in this movie... before product placement was a thing.
There was already product placement when this was made.
Sensational!!!
Fantastic
Holden doesnt fit, but a lot of these longer takes/slower moments would really add to the atmosphere of the movie.
Never any doubt whether Deckard was human but these scenes belong in the story as it wouldn't alter the narrative but highlights the replicants as desperate fugitives... Amazing!
nice one ...never saw these
Holden in the hospital sounds all Fancher. They got another writer to polish up his script. Maybe because it could sound a little melodramatic?
They seem like fairly marginal variations to me, apart from Holden's scenes in the hospital. The elevator part in my opinion is worse than the one included in the film (bishop to king 7, checkmate)
Most entertaining Roy.

It's a Wipeout!
Gaf looks like John Travolta there :D

Re "getting your time back", being a passenger but not reducing the commute time doesn't do that. This and other Musk logic are too US-focused
interesting additions for a hardcore fan but in truth they're not necessary to the story.
Good decision to cut these scenes. They all detract from and confuse the narrtive.
As much as I enjoy the deleted scenes from the varying versions, I agree including almost any of them would not have contributed, although including Rutger Hauer's amazing child like clumsiness and look of "ooh I'm in big trouble now" after his character commits patricide, his momentary regress calling out for mommy, there's something there-- I for one wanted to see more of Roy and the Nexus 6 interacting in any case.

Not really. The scenes supported the narrative. They were cut for time.
What is "Electric Unicorn fan release"?

You never had to plug in your unicorn?
What was in Deckard's nose?
A tissue from when he got his nose broken /bloody in a previous scene.
Toilet Paper.
its so restricting
Was this filmed in Seattle?
The city looks like it suffers from liberal policies.
