Synopsis:

In a funkadelic future Los Angeles, a jaded ex-cop hunts down three androids designed to look human, and he isn’t too concerned about killing a human by “mistake.” Whoopsie.

Intentions:

This edit converts Blade Runner 1982 into a “bad” Grindhouse flick from the 1970’s.

Change List:

Major Changes: 1. The film now has a grainy old Grindhouse look with film dirt and glitches 2. Added two fake trailers for Revenge of Luke Starbreaker and Sandy… Killer Alien 3. Nearly all the musical score is replaced with 70’s vibe music and scoring 4. Scenes rearranged and badly cut as needed for bad dramatic effect 5. New subtitles to add humor 6. Scenes recut for humor and various gags 7. JF Sebastian’s toy companion has a new voice and dialogue 8. Deleted and alternate footage is added throughout, changing the feel and tone 9. Various cuts made to speed up the very slow tortoise pace 10. Deckard is depicted in a more negative light, a sloppy, crude jerk 11. Deckard’s bad narration is embraced and expanded 12. Zhora (a.k.a. Miss Salome) isn’t a Replicant. She’s just a stripper that Leon apparently likes. 13. Added an alternate Unicorn dream 14. Deckard and Rachael deleted love scene reinstated 15. Pris is not the best acrobat 16. Rachael is extra weird and a little creepy 17. Blood VFX added when Leon is shot.
