They asked him to read it, so he read it. As flat as he could, hoping it wouldn't be used.
Turns out, IMO, that that reading was perfect for a world-weary guy like Deckard.

Accidental perfection Chrisisall

That's pretty much the story I've always heard, as well. The special features are supposed to even include outtakes from the voiceover session, where Ford mocks the dialog, and the whole voiceover.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

If he really didn't want them to use it, maybe he should have used the voice he used when he questioned Zora?

What a shiny bunch of transfers!!!
The Final Cut was exceptionally pretty, what with the enhanced FX and all, but the international narrated cut is still the best to me! So much stuff here...it was a bargain.

Happy replicant Chrisisall

All I've watched so far is the "Dangerous Days" doc, which was excellent (and looong). Probably watch the movie itself tonight, but I havn't decided which version yet. Probably the International, so that I can spot all the subtle changes in the Final Cut more easily.

You can spot 'em easy- a lot or minor tweaking was done- the best one (IMO) being making the Tyrell building look more realistic and massive.
But that still don't make it a better film (again, IMO).

Strange obsession Chrisisall
