Here's part of the roof scene of Blade Runner with a previously unknown voiceover narration:

It's a cool movie, but I find the ending in the rain to be a bit cheesy.

Re: Best Version of Blade Runner to show to people for the first time
I'm kinda partial to the International Theatrical Cut myself. I believe the US Theatrical Cut to be the version of Blade Runner I saw first and the one I liked most until I saw the International Cut with the additional scenes. I think it's an improvement. Saw the Final Cut once, didn't particularly like the ending.

What was the ending to the international? I don't have the BD at hand to verify.

Re: Best Version of Blade Runner to show to people for the first time
I've read Paul Sammon's Future Noir which answers nearly everything about Blade Runner, but here's a question I can't recall the answer to:
What's the deal with the US and European cut? For the US version they removed a few shots of more extreme violence, but the film still received an "R" rating in America. Was the violence cut in hopes of getting a PG? When they failed to get a PG why didn't they just release it with the violence left in?

The Final Cut got an R rating and that has the added violence from the International version, plus the unicorn, no narration & no happy ending

The Movie Orphan group compares the movie "Blade Runner" to Philip K. Dick's book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (in what they call a "Scathing Expose"):

(BTW, the "new" Deckard voice-over that can be heard at times in the background of this video is really funny as it only talks about food)
