I didn’t think there’s were multiple releases for that film.

I’d recommend reading the book which came first.
It’s called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick.

The original film with Harrison Ford is the only movie version I know of.

Theres a original theatrical, and directors cut, and a final cut…

I also read much of philip L dick. I love his stories

@Rememberme I got you now.
Director’s Cut.

I wish there was a sequel.

Director’s cut.

The Final Cut. On Bluray.

If you can get hold of it there’s a workprint that is also interesting if you know the film well.

I should explain why “The Final Cut” is the version to watch. It is the only version where Ridley Scott had complete artistic control. The directors cut, which he did approve, was rushed and he was not actually in control of the decision making process.

I didn’t realize there was a final cut. Now I’m sort of curious what the differences are between the versions.

@Zaku Have a look at this wiki article that covers it all in quite a lot of detail.
