It was on my list because of the soundtrack, so when I didn't hear the iconic track at all during the movie I looked it up.

Turns out that there is a re-scored version with a completely different soundtrack, and that was the version we got...

. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.

I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack

Yup. Before Drive was officially released there was a pirated "screener" copy online with a different, and in my opinion better, soundtrack. It enhanced the movie in a more effective way than what we got in the official release. Especially the elevator scene.

Watched the movie again when it officially came out and went "wait a minute, this isn't right".

Not even sure if the screener copy is still available anywhere.

There's a version of Morrissey's Irish Blood, English Heart that hit the radios before it was released, and it was waay better than what we actually got:

no weird comical sound effects, cleaner sound, the high guitar could be heard way better, and the ending riff was a harmonious one, not some eclectic free-for-all.

After years of believing I had hallucinated/mandela'd the whole thing, I finally found it:
