NOTE (from Wikipedia):
Ridley Scott's Director's Cut (1992, 116 minutes) had significant changes from the theatrical version including the removal of Deckard's voice-over, the re-insertion of the unicorn sequence, and the removal of the studio-imposed happy ending. Scott provided extensive notes and consultation to Warner Bros. through film preservationist Michael Arick, who was put in charge of creating the Director's Cut.
[...]
Scott's definitive The Final Cut (117 minutes) was released in 2007. This is the only version over which Scott had complete artistic and editorial control.
