- Commentary on The Final Cut by Ridley Scott
- Commentary by Executive Producer/ Co-Screenwriter Hampton Fancher and Co-Screenwriter David Peoples, Producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
- Commentaries 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
- 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.
- 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.

- Workprint Version: This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more.

This is one of the best boxsets Iv'e ever bought....5 different versions of the movie and hours of behind the scenes documenteries...cant help but think that if Ridley had done Minority Report (another Phil K Dick story) it would have been a 1000 times better than what we ended up with ....if only Ridley Scott did all sci-fi movies
True genius

This is possibly the best science fiction movie ever made. Harrison Ford was at the peak of his popularity when he made this film, the fact that it bombed at the cinema was down to the complex plot and quite probably, that fact that it wasn't a seat of your pants popcoen thrill ride, rather a measured, intelligent and moving story about life and death. Roy Batty's (Rutger Hauer) speech at the end is enough to make grown men weep anyway, made even more incredible by the fact that it was made up on the spot. And fans of I Am Legend should note, this film was an adaptation of the great book "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" by Philip K Dick, it is not very much like the book at all and yet it is still fabulous.
As the aforementioned mess of a film I Am Legend will show you, they really don't make 'em like this anymore
Brilliant collection

I fell in love with Blade Runner some years ago. As a spoiled art film geek I tend to not like "great Hollywood films", however, Blade Runner is one of the few exceptions, with a great blend of noir and science fiction. Ridley Scott's direction here is visionary and immaculate. There are five different versions, all with new things to add. I still prefer the old "directors cut", but the new Final Cut was interesting, and I like to alternate which one I watch.
Anyone interested in documentaries and behind the scenes of this film need not look any further. Theres hours of material here to keep fans occupied. I wouldn't call myself a fan really, more of an admirer. The extras are well produced and presented.
This is the set might be a bit excessive for an average fan, who should go for the great final cut 2Dvd set. For fans however, this is the set you should settle on, until Scott releases the Final Final Cut 10DVD set in 2018.
