Why A 'Fascinating' Opening Scene In Blade Runner Wound Up On The Chopping Block

A lot of director Ridley Scott's films have had complicated productions, and his 1982 film "Blade Runner" was no exception. To this day, there's still some debate over which edition is the "correct one" for viewers to watch. Do they go with the theatrical version, where they have to listen to Harrison Ford's over-explanatory narration? Or do they go with the 1992 director's cut, which took out the voiceovers and threw in more ambiguity over the main character Deckard's human/replicant status? Most fans agree that the 2007 final cut is the best one, as that's what Ridley Scott had the most creative control over, but we can forgive newcomers for finding this all a bit confusing. Even among long-term fans, there are a lot of ongoing debates about "Blade Runner" lore that basically boil down to which versions of the movie you consider to be canon.
