Does everyone here have the Director's Cut of Legend? It's REAL good, more fleshed out & such, however, I have to go with the Theatrical Cut most times for the Tangerine Dream soundtrack that is burned into my brain...

Yeah, I have it. I actually like theatrical music score better. The director's cut works for me with the extra scenes, but the ending is too different. I didn't care for it.

Funny- I liked the theatrical release of both Legend & Blade Runner better than the Director's Cuts...

I have both from the Ultimate Edition on DVD. The Tangerine Dream soundtrack is a big draw to the TC version, although Goldsmith's score is fine.

The DC is missing the 'impotent exile' speech at the beginning, though. One thing you DO NOT DO is cut Curry's stuff.

Blade Runner is an exception for me. I thought the DC improved upon an already great film!

I thought the emotion-less monotone narration in the International Theatrical Cut was SO 40's noir...I love it!

I really think they should have kept some of the deleted scenes in one of the 5 versions of the movie.

Most notably, the nude Sean Young scene(no body double). Rachel is one hot replicant

I'm not sure I've ever seen the Director's Cut. All I ever remember seeing is the version with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. What extra scenes are there in the other version?
