Description:
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-century detective 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
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.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Serious production quality issues
I'm on my 4th attempt to get a playable copy of this product. The first three times I received my order, the main wide-screen, original theatrical version of the film had scratched areas on the surface that made the disc unplayable. I didn't even bother to check the rest of the disks. The abrasions have to be occurring either in the manufacturing or packing process, because all of the disks in the set arrive properly seated in their case. Buyer beware!
Rating:  - Manufacturing problem?
Like quite a few others I received this set with the primary 1st disc being in fact a duplicate of the 5th disc which is just a workcut of the film. Amazon quickly sent me a replacement. But that set has the same issue. Disc one has different and correct artwork so it appears the manufacturer had some issues when they printed these discs and there are a glut of them out there. I sent Amazon another e mail to see how to proceed and don't know how that will go since they apparently won't do a refund ... Read More
Rating: - Amazon still selling the defective sets
I purchased this set from Amazon on Dec. 10, 2008 and it is the defective set mentioned in other reviews. Disc 1 is labeled as "Final Cut" but it's actually a duplicate of the disc 5 Work Print. Why is Amazon still selling these defective sets when this is a known issue? Very disappointed....
Rating:  - Mixed Bag
I am a long time fan of this movie. I have had a 42" wide format screen for movies only for five and a half years. I switched to a full Sony "Blu-ray" setup a year ago. I have three previous copies of this movie in various packages. I place this movie in my personal top ten list. This Blu-ray 5 disc collectors addition is a rather poor repackage that obviously had the minimum of effort put into it. Disc one is extremely poor rendition with very low quality color and green bands running through it on ... Read More
Rating: - Didn't work in my DVD player or PS3
My dad bought this and I tried several different things to get this to work (put HD cord in dvd player, played on PS3/comp./dvd player) and nothing worked. Don't know if it's something with my equipment or it's the DVDs but I never could figure it out.
