Blade Runner's first draft featured a disturbing death that would have completely changed the lead character Deckard, but the scene was wisely cut.
In Blade Runner’s earlier drafts, a brutal replicant death scene completely altered the persona of the movie’s mysterious lead character. Blade Runner is one of the most recut movies in existence. Between the original theatrical cut, the Director’s Cut, the International Cut, and the Final Cut, there are multiple different versions of director Ridley Scott’s 1982 adaptation of Philip K Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This makes the scenes that were cut from Blade Runner’s script all the more interesting. Blade Runner’s Final Cut reinstated a lot of material that was cut from the finished film, but only after the director already filmed these scenes. However, the sequences that were cut from the script represent something else.
Blade Runner's Original Mary Replicant Death Was Horrible Until a very late stage, there were plans to include a Blade Runner character called Mary. A replicant, Mary was brutally murdered by Deckard in the original script. Per the script: "Mary is huddled in the rear of the closet…. she clutches a button-eyed monkey. Her face is bewildered, frozen in fear, her body riddled with holes.
While Blade Runner bombed at the box office, this doesn’t mean that the movie made no concessions to mainstream audiences. Scott’s vision of Dick's novel was daring, but Blade Runner did at least cut this scene of Deckard coldly killing a defenseless replicant as she held a child’s toy and desperately sought to escape. Mary’s horrific death would have changed the essence of Deckard's character since the replicant was unarmed and posed no threat to the antihero at the time of her demise.
Cutting Mary's Death Saved Deckard As A Character Much of what makes Deckard a compelling character is not just the possibility that he might be a replicant, but the efforts that he makes to be a good man. Whether this is because he is secretly a replicant or not, Deckard’s attempts to do the right thing in a deeply morally ambiguous future make him a compelling, tragic figure. Much like Roy Batty’s Blade Runner villainy is complex and layered, so is Deckard’s heroism.
