What version is that from?

I realize that I've only ever seen the director's cut. Which I know is better, but I don't know what most of the differences are, other than the whole unicorn symbology.

The big difference, for me at least, was that the original had narration from Ford's character. Which I thought was unnecessary.

Also everyone should read the book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. Same characters, similar setting, same themes.... but completely different story essentially. And yet they both capture the same big ideas from different directions. Dick's got a bit more paranoia, of course. :)

I actually just read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and was surprised at both the close similarities and glaring differences.
