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 spectacular 5-Disc Set includes all five version of the legendary Sci-Fi film from Director Ridley Scott - the definitive Final Cut with all new 5.1 audio, three additional versions of the film, and the rare Work Print version - in addition to the in-depth feature length documentary "Dangerous Days", and one complete disc of bonus content including over 80-minutes of never-before-seen deleted scenes. The Ultimate Collector's Edition is packaged in a limited edition, numbered "Deckard" briefcase and features rare and collectable memorabilia such as a Spinner car replica, Unicorn figurine, Illustration and Photo cards, and a lenticular Motion Film Clip in lucite. This is the ultimate collection that no fan should be without! Also available in HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Disc.
Description of Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]:
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.
The Ultimate Collector's Edition will be presented in a unique 5-disc digi-package with handle which is a stylish version of Rick Deckard's own briefcase. In addition, each briefcase will be individually numbered and in limited supply. Included is a lenticular motion film clip from the original feature, miniature origami unicorn figurine, miniature replica spinner car, and collector's photographs, as well as a signed personal letter from Sir Ridley Scott.

Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Keep this Bueray disc as a reference 
2009-12-16 - This is the only blueray I am willing to pay full price for since the extra features themselves are worthwhile seeing. Most features are shot in high def which is an added bonus as well. I really liked how they pulled back the curtain and revealed how the special effects shot were created. The picture quality is as everyone says here is stunning. The standard DVD even when upconverted cannot compare to the immense details of Blueray. I have been very happy with this purchase and hope others enjoy and experience this amazing BD. This is def. a 5 star purchase for me.
5 disks and it's region free
2009-12-14 - This is a film ahead of it's time...HDTV and blu-ray are what this film was made for!
I remember the first video of this...good but just another sci-fi movie, with blu-ray and recut/remastered it is almost real. Every version and comment on the movie and for those not in North America this version is region free.
The best bargain you will get in Amazon everyone should buy it and see what blu-ray is all about
Two versions of Workprint 
2009-12-01 - I received my Blade Runner set this past week. I put in Disc 1, the Final Cut, and I think I got the Workprint instead. I also reviewed Disc 5 and it seemed to be the same as Disc 1.
Disc 1 contains a version where there is no opening credits, but just the dictionary definition of Replicant. This is the workprint version, correct????
I know this has been a problem in the past (wrong editions on discs) but I thought this was resolved.
I called Warner Brothers and they are sending me the correct disc for the Final Cut, at no charge.
We'll see what happens....
Collectors Item!
2009-11-27 - I was 16 when I saw BR for the first time in 1982 and I still enjoy to watch it every now and then. Loved to see Rutger Hauer with dyed hair and a weird accent. The punch line of the story (Dick's artificial intelligence and the question about human rights) and the very darkness of the shooting, in my opinion, gives this motion picture his unique style which is still standing after 27 years and I hope there will never be a remake! The props and dressing are very much 80's, but thats gives BR a cult film status.
I ordered this package because I wanted to see the different editions of BR from the past 25 years: the original, the directors cut, the final cut and the workprint AND the deleted scenes. This gives you an idea how Scott struggled with the story and I how he was forced to make certain decissions in regards of the demands of the studio. Is Deckard a replicant or not, you want a happy end or a more dark end, what happens with Rachel and the voice over from Ford. Maybe in the future this box come with a editor selector: you can make your own version of the BR story by selecting your own favourite scenes!
Very enjoyable item with loads of backstage material. Haven't watched all of it (saved some for a rainy day!). Blu Ray is absolutely fantastic and the upscaling of DVD-material to Blu Ray standard works pretty smood. This is the ultimate gift for BR fans. I ordered this package from Europe and I received it within a week! Excellent service with a very fine price-quality ratio!
great deal, great packaging
2009-11-24 - Appreciate receiving this collector's edition, which was in pristine condition, and carefully packed, such that it arrived in the condition it should. Thanks for the prompt service.
