Blade Runner Question

[HM Murdock]

I watched the VHS version of Blade Runner the other day for the first time in years (it's still damn good) and I noticed that alot was cut from the film. It's not the dierector's cut but the edits are all over the place. When I first saw BR on T.V and I remeber seeing Roy (the evil replicent) killing the guy at the Eye Works building. I'm sure he and his friend pushed the guy's head into a freezer and pushed him to the floor, smashing his froozen head on the floor. I could be wrong but I vividly rememeber something like this. On my VHS version it isn't included. Was this ever part of the original or director's cut?

If I remember correctly, Roy and Leon go to a warehouse like building and talk to a Chinese man about the eyes. This guy supposedly works for Tyrell and knows him. So the Replicants want more life, so they ask how they can get to Tyrell. I believed he made the eyes. The man was wearing a big jacket that had a hose hooked into the back of his suit that kept him warm. Roy or Leon pulled out the hose and it got the Chinese man cold and it killed him.

But its been a few months since I've seen it. I don't recall someone's head being smashed while frozen at all. And there's only a couple of differences between the DC and the original movie, and that scene for sure is in both cuts.

This is all I can remember, sorry, but thats all I got. If you have any more questions I'd be happy to help you.

That's how he killed Tyrell. I think we're talking about the scene where they confront the Oriental man about where they can find Tyrell.

The Eye-works man isn't killed by having his head crushed. I'm sure I saw his head being frozen. Then again I have sometime got my mvoies mixed up (I recently found a scene that I thought was in Ghostbusters was actually in The Money Pit!). When Roy is talking to the man, his friend puts two eye balls on his shoulders. He is then asked about Tayrell. On my copy it ends there but I am so sure that he gets his head frozen. There are loads of versions of this movie so I'm not too sure.

There's about 6......

I think that the Chinese Eye guy was simply killed by being exposed to the cold.

As far as I know they never froze anything and broke it in BR and I have seen several versions.


Out............................................... ..

I must have seen it on something else. It was a while ago. I just hope on the long awaited special edition DVD (if it ever comes out) includes all the alternative scenes.
