That would just be the 1981 version with a generated crawl. The title crawl is just one of the changes made to the 1981 version, if you change bits and pieces of it you only end up with a hybrid version. Imagine tacking on the theatrical ending to the director's cut of blade-runner.

Would it do anything to preserve the theatrical version? Or would we just be kidding ourselves.
