Product Description

The Director's Cut dvd edition of Ridley Scott's epic "Blade Runner". Featuring Harrison Ford, Sean Young.

Amazon.com

When Ridley Scott's cut of Blade Runner was finally released in 1993, one had to wonder why the studio hadn't done it right the first time--11 years earlier. This version is so much better, mostly because of what's been eliminated (the ludicrous and redundant voice-over narration and the phony happy ending) rather than what's been added (a bit more character development and a brief unicorn dream). Star Harrison Ford originally recorded the narration under duress at the insistence of Warner Bros. executives who thought the story needed further "explanation"; he later confessed that he thought if he did it badly they wouldn't use it. (Moral: Never overestimate the taste of movie executives.) The movie's spectacular futuristic vision of Los Angeles--a perpetually dark and rainy metropolis that's the nightmare antithesis of "Sunny Southern California"--is still its most seductive feature, an otherworldly atmosphere in which you can immerse yourself. The movie's shadowy visual style, along with its classic private-detective/murder-mystery plot line (with Ford on the trail of a murderous android, or "replicant"), makes Blade Runner one of the few science fiction pictures to legitimately claim a place in the film noir tradition. And, as in the best noir, the sleuth discovers a whole lot more (about himself and the people he encounters) than he anticipates.... With Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, and M. Emmet Walsh. --Jim Emerson

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Ultimate Edition of This Film
By Witt2687 on December 9, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Ask anyone who's seen Blade Runner and they'll all say the same thing: Theatrical cut is terrible, director's cut is great, the Final Cut is amazing! With this set, you get every cut of the film that's ever been made, including all of the special features and documentaries. If you are a Blade Runner fan or just a sci-fi fan in general, this Blu Ray is well worth the money to buy.

The best thing about this set, as a Blade Runner fan, are the extras. The featurettes and making of documentaries are extremely interesting and delve deep into the production. Coupled with this is an attached booklet of production art, script pages, and pictures.

If you're looking for the absolute best home release version of this movie, this is the one you want to get!

5.0 out of 5 starsThinking man's science fiction!
By R. Edward Merrell, Jr. on November 21, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Roy Batty: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in the rain..." This 1982 production was Ridley Scott's first film (this third overall) after his breakout film, "Alien" in 1979. Taking a break from his Han Solo and Indiana Jones roles, Harrison Ford is perfect as the Blade Runner, Rick Deckard; and Rutger Hauer costars as the chief Replicant...it was his favorite role and probably his best. The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in 2019 in which genetically engineered Replicants (visually indistinguishable from adult humans), are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation. Their use on Earth is banned and Replicants are exclusively used for dangerous, menial, or leisure work on off-world colonies. Six Replicants have defied the ban and returned to Earth in an attempt to extend their short life spans. They are hunted down and "retired" by special police operatives known as Blade Runners. The plot focuses on the escaped replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Ford) who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment to hunt them down. This is a sci/fi actioner, with awesome special effects (especially for 1982) but on many levels it is indebted to film noir conventions...the femme fatale, rainy atmospherics, dark and shadowy cinematography; and the questionable moral outlook of the hero. Speaking of special effects, my favorite is the "Spinner", the term for the flying cars used in the film, primarily by law enforcement personnel...they can be used as a ground based vehicle or a flying VTOL vehicle. In addition to Ford and Hauer, look for Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, and Daryl Hannah in key support roles. Among the best of Ridley Scott's work, it is among my favorite sci/fi films!

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's too bad we won't live. But then again, who does?
By JLR on March 5, 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Answer: This movie, appearing on every list of not only the greatest science-fiction films of all time, but the best movies ever made. "Blade Runner" is a movie that you have to not only see, but own, because it's one of the few monumental American classics, along with "Casablanca", "It's a Wonderful Life", "The Third Man", "Vertigo" and "The Godfather", that gets better by age. Like most of these movies, "Blade Runner" was a critical and commercial bomb, ludicrously dismissed as style over substance, for lacking a coherent story and for its one-dimensional human characters. Seen today, in a time of economic recession, class division and the state's utter disregard to come in human terms, "Blade Runner" feels more modern and relevant than ever.

Why is "Blade Runner" one of the greatest movies of all time? I could write a lengthy review describing the movie's greatness, but I'll do the movie greater service by listing the reasons:

1.) It's a simple story, brilliantly told, tightly paced and superbly directed. A retired police officer is forced by the police state to hunt down (or "retire") a group of bio-engineered cyborgs called Replicants. Under Ridley Scott's tight direction, the movie is a gripping experience as we see the main character struggle to fulfill his obligations and survive. The opening sequence where Leon is interrogated as rather or not he's a Replicant and the scenes where Deckard is pursuing Pris in a room cluttered with mannequins are as suspenseful as the best of Hitchcock.

2.) The acting is utterly terrific. Harrison Ford probably gave the greatest performance of his career as the replicant hunter Deckard.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Genuine Treasure: 4 disc set
By antaeaventura on July 14, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I had seen Blade Runner many times way in the past. After seeing the Director's cut recently I was moved to buy a copy for myself. I chose this four disc version for a more than reasonable price and was absolutely blown away by the Final Cut. The original version on steroids, meticulously restored. I was particulary moved by the sound quality. I have Bose speakers and it sounds just beautiful. For those who don't have blue ray capability, like myself, this is a wonderful choice. One thing to note: on disc four there is a special feature discussion on whether Deckard is a replicant with some very intelligent observations on both sides. I prefer Deckard as human, myself, but it is really a personal choice. I like this idea because I find the thought of a replicant/human relationship to be very intriguing. This four disc set also provides hours and hours and hours of viewing pleasure! If Blade Runner isn't the finest film ever made, it is damn close!
