International Cut

Shown outside the U.S. in 1982 and later released on video and laser disc.

This is a more violent version of the film and is the BR version seen by most.

>Tyrell's death scene is more graphic with two additional shots of Batty's thumbs poking Tyrell's eyes.

>Additional footage of the fight between Deckard and Pris. This version shows Pris inserting two fingers into Deckard's nose and pulling it backward. It also shows Deckard shooting Pris 3 times to kill her, whereas the Domestic & Director's Cut versions only show him shooting her twice.

>Additional shot of Batty pushing the nail through the palm of his hand and then showing it come through the back of it.

>Deckard's narration and happy ending included.

J. R. Isidore 
 
Book/Character

From the book DADoES, John Isidore is an artificial animal hospital van driver. Isidore is almost constantly called, or referred to as, a chickenhead.

J. R. Isidore is not un-like J.F. Sebastian from the movie. A very likable character that befriends the androids/Replicants and takes them in his home.

In the book, it is only a coincidence that Baty and the other androids find him and use his apartment as a hide-out. In the film, J.F. is an employee of the Tyrell Corporation, and Batty uses him to get to the head of the corporation (Tyrell) in a last desparate attempt to expand his expected lifespan. In this way, the J.F. Sebastian character is much better integrated into the story, much more pivotal to its outcome.

Blade Runner is more than just a movie. It's a mythology.
