I know this edit is going to have a microscopically small audience, but I figured I might as well make it available for anyone who might be interested. And if it brings some more attention to Wakeupkeo’s excellent ‘Good Guy Deckard’ cut of Blade Runner, great. Keo’s edit is the basis for my own, which is a heavily trimmed down version of the film that I use in conjunction with an ESL adaptation of ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’ that’s been tweaked to include more of the film’s most iconic elements. This cut is a mere 1hr 10min, so it skips over a lot of stuff. There’s also great parts of the book that I can’t show because they were never included in the film like the idea that Rachel and Pris were the same ‘model’ so Rick is essentially killing the woman he loves when he faces her. There’s also a sequence in another police precinct that is fantastic.
This is primarily for my ESL students so it has hardcoded English subtitles, as will any further edits I might release in the future. It’s much easier to edit that way. If that’s a deal breaker for you, please enjoy the plethora of other fan edits available out there. The hybrid Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Reader is also included if you’re interested.
