10 Movies With Different Endings In Different Countries

Seven different versions of Blade Runner have been shown to test audiences or released in cinemas. Problems with the ending began when the 1982 workprint was screened for test audiences. Negative responses prompted Warner Bros to intervene and make some dramatic changes to the film to increase its appeal.

A voiceover from actor Harrison Ford was added to help audiences better understand the film's plot. An ending narration as Deckard and Rachel leave together - explained she doesn't have the same four-year life-span as other replicants and will live far longer. A much more optimistic ending compared to the original which implied Rachel was not long for this world. .

This was the ending that audiences everywhere saw when the film was released in 1982. However, in 1990 a limited release of the workprint version gave audiences in the U.S. a glimpse at the original ending. But the workprint was pulled after director Ridley Scott protested against its release.

Scott wasn't happy Warner Bros had released an unfinished version of the film without his knowledge, but he did collaborate with Warner Bros on a Director's Cut that was released in 1991. Yet once again - this version included the happy ending.

It wasn't until 2007 with the limited release of Scott's painfully assembled "Final Cut" that audiences in the U.S., Canada, and Australia - were finally able to view the film's original ending.
