Product Description
Warner Brothers Blade Runner (Blu-ray) (Collector's Edition)
Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, "Blade Runner" returns in Ridley Scott's definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as 21st-centurydetective Rick Deckard, (Harrison Ford) brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.
Product description
In celebration of Blade Runner's 25th anniversary, director Ridley Scott has gone back into post production to create the long-awaited definitive new version. Blade Runner: The Final Cut, spectacularly restored and remastered from original elements and scanned at 4K resolution, will contain never-before-seen added/extended scenes, added lines, new and improved special effects, director and filmmaker commentary, an all-new 5.1 Dolby Digital audio track and more. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Joanna Cassidy, Sean Young, and Daryl Hannah are among some 80 stars, filmmakers and others who participate in the extensive bonus features. Among the bonus material highlights is Dangerous Days, a brand new, three-and-a-half-hour documentary by award-winning DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika, with an extensive look into every aspect of the film: its literary genesis, its challenging production and its controversial legacy. The definitive documentary to accompany the definitive film version. Disc One

Disc Two
DOCUMENTARY DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER
A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history. Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene. 1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version. 1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant. Disc Four

WORKPRINT VERSION

Also includes: - Commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner
- Featurette "All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut"

 Perfect July 3, 2008

This Blu-ray version is the perfect and now, the only right way to see this movie. Let's face it's just the best movie of all time
Great deal for the price, but... July 1, 2008
the "final cut" wasn't that great, in my opinion. Not really bad, but the changes were pretty minimal, the most memorable of which was a longer, more gory version of a scene that I thought worked fine in the "Director's Cut".
Of course here you get both of these versions, plus several others, in a sharp-looking HD transfer, plus loads of extras, for just over 20 bucks. It's hard to go wrong, especially with one of the great early masterpieces of cyberpunk cimema, and probably the best film adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story to date.
Not Sure What the Fuss is About, But June 29, 2008
But I love this movie! So stylish, and the music is so lavish and entrancing! The total experience is mesmerizing! I seem to be able to watch any of the versions and enjoy them equally! So 5 versions, or one version, matters not to me! And not to mention the stellar lineup of actors that we have here! Not a clunker performance in the bunch!
The only thing that is a letdown about this movie is that it leaves you wanting more!
 A classic - but maybe time to move on June 27, 2008
Yes I think it was worth seeing this in the Blu-ray conversion. Apparently it was shot using slow film, and this renders the most impressive of transfers to HD. The original film still holding much more detail than we get on HD. The colour and light was a revelation - compared to those dark and dull DVDs. The Final Cut, has some interesting additions, "I want more life, f..ker" is now changed to "I want more life, father". And the dove shot at the end, is now in keeping with the dark city background. Some of the gore is unnecessarily lengthened imho. It's surprising what just a few more frames does, and here I think it cheapens the overall effect of the film.
Great Buy June 25, 2008
I brought this in Feb. 2008 and it is fantastic for the price. I always wanted to have the Theatical release. Even through not many people liked it. I do. I like the dialog and fits with the movie. I also like the other versions. I think it is a better buy than the 5 disk set.
