Conclusion:
Having done my own edits of Hannibal and The Beach, I can understand and appreciate how time consuming and difficult it can be to rework any film. Kazuchoice has, for me, definitely pulled this one off. It's not too bloated, there is no telling the audience too much, and the special scenes he has made are nothing short of fantastic. The idea of using a scene from Goldfinger is priceless. I have no qualms in giving a vote of 10/10 for this fan version. Already, he is working on a re-cut of the snake pit dance using footage from the movie "from Dask till Down". This time mapping Zhora's head to an existing snake dance.
This work was edited based on the scenario February 23, 1981 and referred to "Making of BladeRunner-Paul M. Sammon". Kazuchoice
* UPDATE April-21-2009. The finished snake dance scene can be viewed HERE

What are your favorite films?

The Amdromeda Strain (movie not TV mini series)
Follow Me (The Public Eye)
Little Miss Sunshine
The Deer Hunter
7 Golden Men
Saturday Night Fever
and of course Blade Runner !!
Especially the "Work Print".
How did you become interested in BR?
When the movie was screened in Japan, The following comments were written in the poster -
"The android army corps VS human"
It was because of this poor title that I did not wish to watch B.R. in the movie theater. A few years passed and
I saw "BladeRunner" not at the movie theater but the video in 1986.
I received great impact from the film, especially the mood of the film in regards to the expression of "Life" and "Death" in B.R. In particular
From the point of view that Deckard is to kill, and this changes into the form of being killed.
I saw the appearance from which Deckard ran away desperately.
And I felt "Strength", "Honorable", "Beauty", and "Ugliness" of "Life".
Why did you do a special edition?
After I read the book "Making of Blade Runner"
I learnt there was a scene not used or taken a picture of. A few years later,
I saw the "FInal Cut".
and I was dissatisfied with no addition of the scene in the hospital. This was enough reason for me to think " I will do it!"
It was a start. Kazuchoice
