Product Description
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/18/2007

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
RIDLEY SCOTT'S ALL-NEW "FINAL CUT" VERSION OF THE FILM
Restored and remastered with added & extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. Also includes:

  • Commentary by Ridley Scott
  • Commentary by executive producer/co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher and co-screenwriter David Peoples; producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
  • Commentary by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer

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
BONUS DISC - "Enhancement Archive": 90 minutes of deleted footage and rare or never-before-seen items in featurettes and galleries that cover the film's amazing history, production teams, special effects, impact on society, promotional trailers, TV spots, and much more.

  • Featurette "The Electric Dreamer: Remembering Philip K. Dick"
  • Featurette "Sacrificial Sheep: The Novel vs. The Film"
  • Philip K. Dick: The Blade Runner Interviews (audio)
  • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Cover Gallery (images)
  • The Art of Blade Runner (image galleries)
  • Featurette "Signs of the Times: Graphic Design"
  • Featurette "Fashion Forward: Wardrobe & Styling"
  • Screen Tests: Rachel & Pris
  • Featurette "The Light That Burns: Remembering Jordan Cronenweth"
  • Unit photography gallery
  • Deleted and alternate scenes
  • 1982 promotional featurettes
  • Trailers and TV spots

  • Marketing and merchandise gallery (images)
  • Featurette "Deck-A-Rep: The True Nature of Rick Deckard"
  • Featurette "--Nexus Generation: Fans & Filmmakers"

Disc Five
WORKPRINT VERSION
This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more. 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"

5 out of 5 stars Complete package   November 30, 2008
This is a nice set - containing all the various versions of the movie. While it is the Director's least favorite, I was pleased to see the original theatrical release including the Harrison Ford voice over. All the movies are in high-def though all the bonus material is not. The "final cut" is nicely done and worth a viewing.


4 out of 5 stars Blade Runner   November 27, 2008
Before seeing this movie i had a lot of different assumptions about it. I knew that it was somewhat of a classic now and i knew i really liked Ridley Scott so i expected to really like it. I also thought it was going to be somewhat of an epic sci-fi action film. It turned out to be a lot different than i expected. The film was on a smaller scale than i expected. The setting of the film was less important than the story unfolding in it. Admittedly i didn't like it as much as i was expecting but it was still really good. Even though the style or genre of the film was different than i was expecting i liked it for that very reason. The way i look at it there are the films that have extraordinary settings and the plot sort of shows it off. Star Wars is a good example of this. The plot involved many aspects of the setting like light speed travel and large space wars. Blade Runner on the other hand was simply a detective story that just happened to take place in the future. Most of the events in the story could very easily happen now. Again, i didnt like it as much as i thought i would but i liked it a lot, just in a different way i was expecting. I definitely want to watch this film again to see i how like it, knowing what to expect.


5 out of 5 stars This Blu-Ray Transfer Made Me A 'Blade Runner' Fan   November 27, 2008
Sometimes you just need to give a film a second chance, even if it is 20 years later! Only some rave reviews about the picture quality of this new 5-disc "Complete Collector's Edition" enticed me to watch this again. Wow, I am glad; this was a very entertaining and a tremendous visual and audio treat.

I actually appreciated the audio best because, even in this new Blu-Ray era, one doesn't often find a film with very active surround speakers. However, this "restored" version did and the sound is, at the point, the best I've heard on a Blu-Ray disc....or any DVD, for that matter. The visuals? Well, fans of Blade Runner know all about them. They are fantastic. Scene-after-scene reminded me of a Stanley Kubrick film or another bizarre 1980s movie called "Jacob's Ladder."

I can see where people would watch this film mulitple times and enjoy it very much each time. The "Collector's Edition" has the best picture ever, according to director Ridley Scott, and "is the version I'm most pleased with." That's good enough for me. The rest of the DVD has those earlier versions, including the original theatrical release with Harrison Ford doing narration, like out of a late `40s film noir....so I am anxious to hear that - and this time, appreciate this movie.

Is this five-disc version worth a few extra bucks? Yeah!



2 out of 5 stars Bad film with excellent comment   November 26, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

It is amazing that so many people voted for this film, so overwhelming that I thought it must be given a try. If only judging from the cover design and the year it was taken, I would never buy it. It turned out to be so boring and dull after about 10 mins of starting.

The director was successful in making a good start, but failed to make a good development and entangled in slow paced acting & dialogue in dark & disgusting environment and so on.

To rent before buying is my advice.



4 out of 5 stars Blade Runner-The Final Cut   November 23, 2008
I think Blade Runner was one of Harrison Ford's best movies.
The version I first saw when it came out in the theaters had the Harrison Ford voice over and I will probably purchase that some day if I can find it since my old copy on VHS has dissolved.
The second disc was interesting in all the background it gave, but I really enjoyed the original version with HR giving a from-the-gut narrative
like the PI's of old radio fame like Bull Dog Drummond et al.
