Disc Two 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.
Disc Three 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.

Product Description: Warner Brothers Blade Runner (Blu-ray) (Collector's Edition) 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-centurydetective 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, murderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.

POR CIERTO LA RECIBÍ 4 DIAS ANTES DE LO ESTIPULADO. GRACIAS. ¡DIOS LOS SIGA BENDICIENDO MUCHO!!!!!!!!!!.
Lucky me.... Obviously, the movie's great. Classic, and with five discs of material at this price, how can you go wrong? However, my problem's not with the quality of the movie, the blue ray encoding, etc., but instead the delivered product. After waiting a week due to backorder, I found a beat-up, dirty, puffy envelope in my mailbox. Upon opening, I pulled out the movie I'd been eagerly anticipating. Blue plastic chips spilled everywhere, the case shattered at every corner. Packed in a puny bubble wrap envelope. Amazon, you can do better than this. What happened to all the comfortable, safe, brown boxes you used to send even the smallest products in???
Classic masterpiece It was for me absolutely fantastic to see again this classic with the visual enhancements of Blu-ray. The 5 disc edition really gives a definitive dimension of this mark in cinema history. The futuristic dark environment of this great movie with the superb Vangelis music and the quality of a 1080p image give the fans no chance but to buy this edition.

Blade Runner (Five Disc Complete Collector's Edition) Well, after having purchased Blade Runner in several of it's previous formats (VHS, DVD, DVD Directors Cut) I never thought I would buy it again. However, when this special became available, I knew that I would have to see this visionary masterpiece playing on my PS3. I have not been disappointed. The digital quality is amazing, and it's interesting to watch the movie in it's various versions. You can actually decide which you prefer, as deleted scenes and voice overs do change the tone significantly. Also, the question "Is Deckard a Replicant?" is unequivocally answered by uber director Ridley Scott.
Great value, excellent picture quality This is a great example of value for dollar in the Blu-Ray camp. Picture quality is tremendous and the supplemental material (and multiple VERSIONS OF THE FILM) make this a must-have for any Blade Runner fan and answers virtually any question you might have had about the production, and then some you wouldn't have thought to ask. Very interesting segment on how they did some enhancements to fix certain things about the original film (worthwhile and justified fixes). If you really want to show off the improvement in picture quality, just pop in your old DVD and you'll see a HUGE difference. Highly recommended.
