Tagline: A Futuristic Vision Perfected [2007 Final Cut]
Trivia: It has been rud for years that Harrison Ford purposefully gave a bad reading of the voiceover narration added during post production in hopes that the studio wouldn’t use it. Ford has denied this vehemently, stating that he gave the voice over six different readings and neither version came out sounding right and that the narration didn’t work simply because the film wasn’t originally made to have one.
Goofs: Continuity: After killing Zhora, we see Deckard with a cut on his right cheek as he buys a liquor bottle. But when Leon pulls him aside, it vanishes. Then right after this fight, Deckard’s cut reappears. (Corrected in the 2007 “Final Cut” of the movie.)
