Editorial Review:
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, muderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul. This incredible 2-Disc Set features the definitive Final Cut of Ridley Scott's legendary Sci-Fi classic and the in-depth feature length documentary "Dangerous Days" and features all new 5.1 Audio.

Blade Runner - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
AWESOME!
2008-10-06 - This set is the best box set I have so far. With all the different versions, I have no idea where to start. Well I got mine in August. I still have yet to watch everything on the DVDs but I'm getting there. I'm not very good with reviews but I have to say the versions are not that different from each other but still worth watching.

Perfect!
2008-10-05 - This is possibly the best box set I've seen yet. All five versions of the movie are presented in this set beautifully remastered and in 5.1 surround. I cannot complain about anything about this. The extras included also are in perfect form. It is definately worth the extra money to get this set especially since it includes the workprint version only available here and in the blueray edition.

Great box set!!

Love the packaging for this great, ahead of it's time sci-fi masterpiece. Still like the original, rather than the re-issues.

Puting thought back into science fiction
2008-10-01 - The film was finally released in 1982 starring Harrison Ford as a Blade Runner named Rick Deckard; a bounty hunter whose task was to track down and destroy Replicants; robots that resembled humans in just about every way, except for a typical lack of emotion. He is challenged by an incredibly human, in nature Replicant, named Roy Batty, who was played by the white haired Rutger Hauer, Roy later being one of the iconic roles of his long career.
Throughout the film humanity is questioned, as sometimes it seems as if Roy and his group of Replicants are more human than the one who hunts them. Often implying Deckard was a Replicant (an aspect never seen in Dick's book) was a way of asking ourselves if humanity truly was better than the machines they created. A compelling sci-fi epic, with beautiful set pieces Blade Runner received plenty of critical praise, but was overshadowed by John Carpenter's horror remake of The Thing and Steven Spielberg's heartwarming family adventure, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, which were also in theaters around the time of Blade Runner's release. The complex Blade Runner didn't stand a chance against these two mainstream, appealing sci-fi films and struggled in the box officer, only making an estimate of $33,000,000; a $5,000,000 profit.
Overlooked the year it was released Blade Runner would soon come to be one of the most beloved science fiction films of the `80s, managing to end up on many top film lists nationwide, and taking a firm place in cinema history. Director Ridley Scott, who thought he'd had too much cut from the original theatrical cut would later go back and release a Director's Cut in 1992; the film's tenth anniversary. Fifteen years later a dedicated Scott would return to the film again for its 25th Anniversary special edition DVD release, making what he entitled Blade Runner: the Final Cut. This final cut was soon accepted by the film's many fans as the definitive cut of the film.

Scott went all out on the Final Cut and all the 25th anniversary DVD sets. Blade Runner is a masterpiece.

Great collection
2008-09-28 - We all know the movie, which is one of the most interesting ever made.
This collection of disk will give you everything you wanted ever know and see about the making of Blade Runner.
There is also a disc with some delete scenes, alternate endings and several documentary on the production of the movie which will reveal many anedocts that are very interesting. The documentary will reveal that the movie production was extremely under budget for how it was intended to be shot by Riddley Scott and he had to make so many compromises to get it to the end. Too bad they did not have a budget on the line of many of today's Hollywood productions.
The "final cut" blue ray disk, has an incredible quality. The film has been restored and I think colors and sharpness of the images has been enhanced using the latest digital technologies because the clarity and saturation of the colors is much better than any other version seen on disk or in theater. There also is one of the final scenes that has been completely re-shot using the latest computer graphics technology and finally makes the film to be as it was intended by the author.
