- 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.
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st century Los Angeles. He's a "blade runner" stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human.
The story of Blade Runner is familiar to countless fans. But few have seen it like this. Because this Director Ridley Scott's own vision of his sci-fi classic. This new version omits Deckard's voiceover narration, develops in slightly greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the "uplifting" finale. The result is a heightened emotional impact: a great film, made greater. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests Deckard may be a replicant. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Is Deckard a replicant? As with all things in the future, you must discover the answer to find yourself

This takes me back to the Cinema, viewing the Directors cut about 10 years ago, not the 1982 premiere showing.
Agree with many others on the content as Warner U.S have released a region free final cut Blu-ray box set with every version of Ridley Scotts 'Blade Runner', real dedicated fans should try and get a copy of that, available from playusa.com though I'm very happy to get this Region B

This is the coolest & greatest Sci-Fi movie ever made.It boasts an intelligent script about supposed inhuman replicants perhaps,being more human & sympathetic than their masters.It `s also a love story, an action movie,with still unsurpassed special effects & a film about the meaning of existence. It is drenched in atmosphere & astounding visuals which simply drowns the senses. Blu-ray at last displays this masterpiece in all it`s glory, as fresh & pin sharp as the day it was made. The one extra is the outstanding one & a half hours long "Dangerous Days" documentary, an exhaustive, in depth look at the troubled shoot. Blade Runner is for the brain as well as the eye & is the most influential Sci-Fi movie of the last 3 decades.Highly recommended.
Movie, Awesome: BD, awesome; Content, below average!

I saw this on here sometime ago and was going to buy it, but following a recommendation from another reviewer I bought the US 5 disc Blu-ray set, which contains 3 Blu-rays (region free) and 2 DVDs (region 1).
This version of the set for the European/UK market is an out and out rip off. It contains the Final cut, some commentaries, featurettes and that's about it.
I would strongly recommend anyone who is serious about this picture to avoid this one like the plague!
I'm sure the quality of transfer to blu-ray is just as good for the final cut on this version as it was overseen by Ridley Scott himself; however being able to see all versions of this wonderful and mesmeric movie, i.e. both the US & International theatrical cuts, the Director's cut, and the final cut as well as a copy of the original workprint (that has been as fully restored as possible from the source materials), is truly worth the extra expense for the US version.
Don't get this one!!
